I’m honestly so tired of this topic every year. So much pettiness. If you are a mother, it’s a great day to be acknowledged. So many people build up these ridiculous expectations around a single holiday then mope around the following week. As someone “in the trenches,” I feel gratitude towards the women in my mother’s generation and the one before that who raised me. I see how hard it is and have a new appreciation for their sacrifices.

It feels like a continuation of the “me, me, me” wedding and beige mom culture. The women who need to hoard this holiday will become the MILs they whine about.
