it’s “mothers day”, not “not mothers day”
May 13, 2007 9:21 am Daily lifeCome on. Just let the moms have their day. They deserve it. (especally Mommers, who put up with A LOT and still loves us)
There is no need to “say a special word for those who don’t have children”. That’s like mentioning everybody who is not married at someone’s anniversary party so they don’t feel left out. Kinda wierd and needy, and NOT THE PURPOSE OF THE DAY.
Side note: I was once at a birthday party where a sibling threw a fit that it was not HIS birthday party and watched in complete flabberghasted awe as the parents actually re-lit the candles and allowed the brat to “make a wish too”.
It’s not ALL women’s day. It’s MOTHERS Day.
Lest you think me completely cold hearted, I do not include women who have miscarried or had an abortion in this category. They ARE mothers. It’s their day too. Just not my day - and I am OKAY WITH THAT.
I do remember that some women are not okay, are grieving and wanting children, they do need love. My intention is not to hurt them even more with this; But this is still not their day and that’s just a fact. Vetrans Day is for vetrans, not wanna-be vetrans, no matter how much they wanna-be.

I do not include women who have miscarried or had an abortion in this category. Did you mean “I do include?”

Hmm, I suppose I could have phrased it better- sorry Carla. I mean I do not include them in the “not mothers” category. or, to put it more clearly: women who have children who have died, in any way, are Mothers- even if not many people know their story. And I cringe when I think I may hurt someone with a private story who thinks I am rampaging that this is not their day. Not my intent - at all.
