“The illusion is that mothers are automatically happier, more fulfilled and complete. But the craziest, grimmest people this Sunday will be the mothers themselves, stuck herding their own mothers and weeping children and husbands’ mothers into seats at restaurants. These mothers do not want a box of chocolate. These mothers are on a diet.”
A resounding “YES.” All day long on mother’s day I had this feeling that I hated mother’s day, was just going through the motions to make sure my own mother felt appreciated. And as a mother, myself, I certainly don’t need all this bullshit.
