[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The impression I got from the "those who have chosen not to be mothers" bit of the flower meme is that it is either referring to birth mothers who have given up children for adoption (albeit with odd wording) or women who have undergone an abortion. I don't think it is referring to the childfree. [/quote] Thank you for this explanation! The birth mother thing makes at least some sense. The abortion thing does not. OP, I am bothered by it as well. There is all this pressure in society for mothers to sacrifice their time, energy, careers, own interests, bodies, etc. for their children and now we’re made to feel guilty for being celebrated one day a year. Not me. I enjoyed Mother’s Day and didn’t let them make me feel one bit guilty. You know what other holidays are hard for people suffering from infertility and who’ve lost their mom? Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. Should we stop celebrating any holiday because it makes someone sad?[/quote]
