Or anyone else’s. So stop wishing me Happy Mother’s Day!
When you do that, you dilute the honor of the thing: mothers do a difficult job. I certainly wouldn’t want to do it. If you say “Happy Mother’s Day” to everyone, what’s the point?
And then there’s biology. Wishing a 10-year old girl Happy Mother’s Day makes little sense.
And what about those people who just “lost” babies, children? Maybe the mother isn’t a mother anymore, and is devastated? And what about the people who’ve recently “lost” a mother? Can you imagine the pain you cause?
I don’t care about your intentions – I don’t care that the store you work for MAKES you do it. Stop it. Now.
Don’t wish me or anyone BUT YOUR OWN MOTHER a “Happy Mother’s Day.” And OK, if your Mom’s not around or if you have a near-Mother, or stepmother, or whatever, fine. Wish them anything you want.
But remember: I am not your mother.
