You and OP have the same phrasing. But it isn't really celebrating everyone BUT "actual mother's" on Mother's Day, is it? Aren't your children doing something for you? Aren't there articles and programs everywhere around for mothers?

Your problem isn't that everyone but mothers are being celebrated; it's that ANYONE other than mothers (as you accept them) are being mentioned along with mothers today.


Yes correct. If you didn’t carry a child for 10 months and birth them, today is not your day. Take a seat. Thank your own mother. Do some self reflection and try to figure out why you need to be celebrated as a mother when you aren’t one.


Why do you think this is personal to me? It's like you lash out at everything. Try to do better.

Yup, and reporting and deleting posts that point out Mother’s Day isn’t for pet owners.

Today, holding space for all the people who thought they were part Native American but did a dna test and realized it was only family lore, people who wish they were Native American, people who don’t want to be Native American, people who’s ancestors slaughtered Native Americans…

No wait that all sounds insane!

All these things still don’t make a person a mother.

Sadly, now society puts human needs below pet needs.

If you aren't a mother yourself, you still can celebrate your mom, your grannies, your step-mom, your MIL, your god mother or whoever you consider a mom figure for you.

If we want human species to continue and mothers to value their children, we gotta show moms and others the value this role has.

There are 364 days in a year which can be dedicated to pet moms.

Childless women are being celebrated as mother's to their dogs, and there are memes going around "remembering the women who chose not to have children" (emphasis mine.) Is it really too much to ask to just celebrate mother's on MOTHER'S Day?

(I do think it is appropriate and nice to be mindful of women experiencing infertility on Mother's Day, which is a lot different than celebrating childfree women on mother's day.)

How do other peoples choices affect you?


Why am I supposed to celebrate someone who chose not to be a mother on…Mother’s Day? Be a mother or not but why do you expect to be honored on Mother’s Day if you aren’t a mother due to your own choices?

So don’t. Who’s forcing you? Are you a mindless sheep?

I think if your kids think you love them and saw you celebrating mother's day when they were young, they try to do something to acknowledge it as adults, even if a call or a text.

Being inclusive is great but minimizing sacrifices of mothers for their children for equating it to being a mom to a virtual or real pet isn't only insensitive but disrespectful.
