To all the mothers out here,
Please take a bow for all that we’ve done for our families,
Seen and unseen,
Stellar and mundane,
Necessary and needless,
Legendary and pitiful,
Consciously and unwittingly,
Easy and arduous,
Divine and asinine.
Let’s enjoy our special day!
@Packmule3 Happy Mother’s Day to you and all the BODs🤗
So happy to have lived when having children and a husband were considered to be positive. They, along with our grandchildren, are still the most important elements in my life!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you!!! How have you been?
@Lootie Lyn, that sounds like a life well lived. I still remember my late grandmother loving to have us on Mother’s Day (that day we ate Chinese food) and planning for Christmas’ gifts starting June. It is a joy many will never know.
Ha, @Lootie Lyn
I’m happy to have lived — and to be living again — when I don’t have to tolerate stupid words like:
Birthing people for mothers
Pregnant people instead of expectant/pregnant mothers
Womxn for woman (or Latinx for Latina/Latino)
Humxn for human
Transwoman for male-experiencing-gender-dysphoria
Cis for person
Chestfeeding for breastfeeding
Furbabies for family pets — as much as I love dogs, I give birth to humans, and my love for my children cannot be compared to my love for dogs.
Thanks for this thread, @pkml3! Yes, Happy Mother’s Day to ‘would be’, trying to be, currently, and all mother figures, and even those who’ve lost their children.
So nice to read you @FGB. You never fail to bring a smile with your posts! Your grandmother’s Mother’s Day celebrations sound lovely.
Same here @Lootie Lyn!
Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate it. The Brits, for once, being non-conformist, celebrated in March, so it’s just a lovely Sunday up on the moors for us today.
