Who Else Hates Mother's day?

Contributor: hyacinthgirl hyacinthgirl
I don't like Mother's Day. My own mother passed away before my 6th birthday, so sitting with all the other kids to make Mother's Day cards and frippery just seemed like salt in the wounds. Then my dad remarried when I was 9, and I was really excited for awhile, because the lady seemed very sweet and nice.

The problem with my stepmother, though, is that she likes kids but hates other women. As soon as I became a "woman" (about 12), the emotional abuse started and never stopped. So for a few brief years I was excited about Mother's Day, but now it's a day where I have to remember to make a kind gesture towards a woman who helped make my teen years a living hell.

I love Mother's Day. Father's Day on the other hand...

I am very blessed to have been raised by my terrific grandmother, Nana (she has raised me since I was born). I catagorize her ... more

My mom gets bitchy around mother's day so I don't like the holiday and I don't do anything for her. She thinks she is entitled to so much on mother's day.

I love it, because I love my Mom!

Rather than hating the day, make it a day about the person that has filled that role in your life.

My Mom and I have had an up and down relationship, but I enjoy Mother's Day because it gives me another day to celebrate my children. I couldn't be called a Mother if it weren't for them. I choose to celebrate my Grandmothers, Mother, Mommy friends, and my children on Mother's Day!

I don't associate with my Father, but I make Father's Day about my husband. It's all about how you can relate it to someone else to make it something beautiful!
