My stepmother's cancer is back. She's not going to survive. I lost it when she told me.

I believe that a person should be charged with murder for killing an unborn fetus. But the stipulation is that it has to be proven that the mother intended to keep the baby.

I am 22 and on mother's day I went to dinner at the restaurant my 28 y/o bf is the chef at with his mother and sister. When we opted out of desert he sent one out anyway TO ME not his mother. Mortified, I quickly split it and tried giving some to here with a toast about mother's day, but she was clearly hurt. I was the only one that brought her flowers and a nice gift. They didnt even get her a card. She invited me to this dinner bc my mom died a few years ago. I adore her and her big heart and completely shocked at my bf and sister's behavior

I think someone should write an article about the mythical choice of being a working mom. Most households need two incomes to survive. Of course what would mother's day be without females bashing one another about our choices? How would "feminists" live with their own choices to work without bashing those of us who choose to stay home?

I know people will roll their eyes at this, but I'm happy that this year the people who said "happy mother's day" to me followed it up with "if it applies to you!" It doesn't, I'm CF, but it's nice to see it finally sinking in, at least on the societal level, that being a mom is optional. (And for the record, my reply was "I don't have kids but I *do* have a mom, so I'm gonna do my best to make it a good day for her!"

Today is one of those days I don't like my husband. Nothing to do with mother's day by the way. He thinks he does no wrong, but he doesn't contribute much and just complains and surfs porn. I feel alone most of the time.

Not everyone is a mother or a father, and not everyone has a mother/father or mother/fatger -like figure in their lives. I do wish Mother's Day and Father's Day were abolished.

I hate Mother's Day, mostly shopping for cards. They just don't seem to make one that says, "You were a really shi**y mom, but I bought you this card anyway so I wouldn't have to listen to you b*tch."

A new study shows that Finland is the best place to be a mother. The worst place? High school

I think the benefits of having both the mother and father equally invested in feeding Baby, and thus the kid bonding equally with both, far outweighs the supposed "benefits" of exclusive breastfeeding. I feel like breastfeeding is just another tool to keep women in the nursery, and at worst it's a tool of women to keep their kid's fathers away from their babies.
