Is mother's day a day to celebrate moms or women in general?

What if someone had a crap mum but had a woman in their life that felt like a mother figure?
I think it depends on the person.; May 8, 2009 at 8:25 PM

Really, I dont know if you are asking the right question. The question you should be asking is, "Why do moms HATE mothers day so much..." I know mine does, and Im not so hot on it either now that I am a mom.; May 8, 2009 at 9:58 PM

But to give my thoughts on your question, I think it's a celebration of the nurturing characteristics of women in general. I just wish somehow it didn't make us all feel inadequate!; May 8, 2009 at 11:26 PM

Mother's Day does seem to be meant for mothers, but my heart always goes out to those women who never had the opportunity, or ability to be a mother. I also think the reason why some moms hate mothers day is because it is yet another holiday that it feels expected to receive a present, when an "I love you" and "mom, you're the greatest" would be good enough, and not even on a day that feels those phrases should be forced because the public says so. Just too much pressure.; May 9, 2009 at 12:56 PM

Melissa said...: So this guy in church today gave a talk and taught us that mother's day was started in 1912 specifically to celebrate your individual mother. Apparently the apostrophe was specifically placed and everything. So there is the technical answer.; May 10, 2009 at 3:56 PM
Sarah said...: It should just be for Moms! Before you have children you only THINK you know what life will be like with them. AFTER you have children you realize that you had NO IDEA, and that being a MOM is much harder than anyone could even begin to explain!; May 10, 2009 at 10:36 PM
