[quote=Anonymous]I blame social media.

If it were not for social media, people who aren't moms or who might have a difficult relationship with social media would not see so much "happy mothers day" stuff which gives them fomo or makes them feel sad.

And if it were not for social media, OP and others who are bothered by stuff like Mother's Day cards "from" dogs or celebrating childless women wouldn't see it either.

The answer is of course to just stay off social media. But even as someone who no longer uses most social media, I get why this is hard (as here I am on DCUM, my social media replacement I can't seem to quit). So instead people go on these platforms and get annoyed by stuff they otherwise wouldn't even be aware of.

For instance, I was single and childless for a long time as an adult but during a time when Facebook and Instagram barely existed and certainly people weren't posting a million photos of their engagements, weddings, pregnancies and kids on them. So even when I was sad about being single or not having a kid, I didn't feel inundated with the feeling that everyone else had what I wanted. It was so much easier.[/quote]
