[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't feel special just because I am a mother. I feel special because I am the mother to MY son.

As long as my child bothers with even a half-hearted "Happy Mother's Day," why on earth would I care what the culture is doing around the day?![/quote]

If you don’t care about a cultural holiday why do you celebrate it at all? Do people feel the same about Juneteenth? Celebrate however you want, it doesn’t have any objective meaning anyway! Spoiler alert: no they do not.

Quit contributing to [b]the idea that being a mother is culturally meaningless.[/b] [/quote]

I don't believe I said anything like the bolded...what I said is that this I do not care how other people celebrate. If it makes someone feel better to call themselves a dog mom, how does it affect me?

Why are you bringing Juneteenth into this?
 
This holiday was created by several women, at different times around the world, over a 100 years ago who wanted to celebrate their mothers. Florists took the lead because it was financially great for them.

This meaningless, commercial holiday speaks no more to the significance of motherhood than Black Friday speaks to the significance of Christmas.
Get a grip.[/quote]

Oh, and I stand by my feelings that my child honoring me is the only thing I need on Mother's Day and I don't give a damn what people are tweeting or IGing culturally about dogmoms or whatever. [/quote]
