Should Mother's Day Be 1 Day And Forgotten All Year Around??!!

No of course not! My mum passed away five years ago but I wished I'd more of an effort in celebrating her life and in particular her care for me as a child and into adulthood. We seem to live in an age where mothers are merely 'the reason' why we are here and not someone to cherish. So sad.
And Lamees I truly understand your emotive question here, everyday should be a festival for the woman that brought us into this world!
Perhaps Father's Day could run a close second? Well I am one of them!
Absolutely not!
A mother's love is something that lives with you every day and I never let a day go by without telling her how much I love her. The idea of a 'Mother's Day' is a commercial exploitation of a very special bond. Indeed on my birthday, I also make a huge fuss of my mum who nurtured and fed me whilst in the womb and experienced pain to bring me into this world and whom I hope has experienced great joy in seeing how I have grown and developed in that time.
In my life every day is 'Mother's Day' and I neither ashamed or embarrased to admit it!
Very well said, Parchester. I think you are a 'real man' to share these feelings with us.
I hate 'Mothers' Day' - it is 'Mothering Sunday' and it started out as a Christian festival. What we have now is a total commercial rip-off. As for 'Fathers Day', that is an American import and has never been anything other than commercial.
Having said all that, I do send flowers and a card to my elderly mother in law as I know it pleases her, but that's no substitute for regular contact and love.
Aah that's lovely Parchester, you sound very fortunate to have each other.
Exactly Feline.
Hi Lamees
Mother and daughter relationships are always difficult. I love my mum dearly but sometimes I get quite frustrated and cross with her, and she likewise with me.
I do not wait for any time of the year to get her gifts to show how much I care, that to me just seems silly.

I lost both of my parents over twenty years ago and there's not a day goes by that I don't think of them or miss them dreadfully.
I certainly don't need one or two days of the year to think of them, they are always with me.
