I don't want to sound mean or uncaring but, I don't give my wife anything on Mother's day. She is not my Mother and my Mother is alive. She is the Mother of my children and I make sure they give her something. I acknowledge the day to her and wish her happiness and thank her for raising my kids right. I don't take her out or give her a card. I have a Mother to do that with. When the kids were younger, I asked them what they wanted to do for the day. Most times it was out somewhere.

I think the commercialization of Mother's Day is a sad thing. Instead of a day to honor Mom's across the country, big business has created in the minds of consumers that everyone should buy a Mom something no matter how distant the relationship is. I protest. If you're not my Mother, don't expect anything.

Have a great day.
