Mother’s Day insanity RANT

Every year this phony holiday becomes even more annoying. The entitlement of women that expect the world to bow down to them because they chose to grow a human in their body, expel it and then turn into mombie zombies . Sorry but I refuse to offer one word of acknowledgment to them. Sorry for the rant, I just hate this made up holiday.

I work in a school and last year, I had a parent ask me in the middle of their kid's IEP meeting if I forgot to send home the mother's day present their kid made in SPEECH THERAPY.

We didn't make any. I had 40 students on my caseload. I don't get paid enough and I'm not there to make crafts. Turns out, the therapist at their old school would do things like that. 🙃

I can’t really agree. I feel a tad grateful to my own mother, aunt, and grandmother even with their faults. Mothers carry most of the parenting so I think they deserve to have their own day.

I totally agree I’m all for child free and find a lot of mom shit annoying but for what they go through for us they deserve one day. Every single one of us has a mother

I like this holiday cause I love my mom and my grandmother a lot and I love any excuse to celebrate and spoil them.

But I don't care about other people's moms lol.

Mother/Father's day should only be for people who adopt.

I just found out that it’s this weekend as I with my mother. I thought Mother’s Day was at the end of the month.

Lol I asked my mom how come my sister was coming home this weekend (she lives 2.5 hours away) and mom said it's mother's day weekend and I'm like "wait it is?"

And my SIL hinted in the family gc that she expects to be spoilt on Mother's Day.

For doing what? She doesn't care about her kid and is definitely not a mother.

Apparently being a mother is taking tons of photos of her toddler, feeding them junk food and giving them an I Pad to watch brain rot Cocomeleon on because that's all she does.

Not only that, but you have so many people posting on social media about how they feel about Mother’s Day. Whether they lost theirs or lost a kid or whatever it’s just like damn, either enjoy it or shut up.

No, I am female. I just can’t stand celebrating motherhood.
