My facebook feed got bombarded with anti-Mother's day rhetoric. My mom loves mothers' day. She loves the recognition and gifts; the meals and kind words. My stepmom hates it. I'm pretty sure she acted like she hated it so that everyone would fawn on her and tell her how wonderful she is.
But this year, I heard a few different reasons for anti-Mother's day stances:
1. "It makes me feel like I'm a failure when I hear people praise their mother for being perfect. I know I'm not perfect, and I never will be."
2. "My family is incapable of doing nice things for me without an excess of drama. After listening to them fight over why the sausage was still frozen and bitching about why we didn't have orange juice, I just got up and made myself a bowl of instant oatmeal."
3. "My kids don't know what they're supposed to do for me on mothers' day, because they have never had someone show them how to treat me with respect and honor."
4. "I'm deliberately not a mother. I don't want to be honored as one on Mothers' Day."Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

2. Yes, sometimes a good mother (or father or other leader) has to actually be involved in the process of your children honoring you as a mother. It's part of the job. Get over yourself.
3. It's a nice slam on her husband, I'll let it stand.
4. 99.9% of females in the history of the world who had the ability to have children, had children. Get over yourself.
I can't deal with Mother's Day complaining. Thank God my wife doesn't pull this crap. In my ward, it's gotten so bad, the Bishop and RS President decided together not to pass out treats, not to assign Mother's Day topics to speakers, and not to have a Mother's Day topic lesson in RS. I've thought of my ward as being pretty progressive for the most part, but I guess that's the problem.

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

My wife is also not crazy so she had a good mother's day even though the kids and I sucked in carrying it out.
One thing that did piss her off was that the bishopric had candy bars for the women (pretty lame, imo, when a bunch were mounds and almond joys uke: )But the young men got there first and some grabbed three or more of the full sized bars for themselves. The Bishop's little asshole son was one of the culprits, though he only took two. My daughter threatened him with bodily harm if he took anymore.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

There are people who loathe the day, so maybe it makes sense to blow it all up. If you want to celebrate mother's day, then celebrate it however you'd like.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
