The Idiocy of Mother's/Father's Day

[Anonymouse]

Anyone with a sense of critical thinking can see that both Mother's Day and Father's day as inauthentic trumped up days that differ in their nature from any other holiday. There is a certain artificiality to it. A certain odor of something. Ahh yes, tis the odor of the State. I am sick and tired of having to "celebrate" Mother's/Father's day. It is entirely an unnecessary day made up by political beaurocrats of the nanny State. As secular holidays they bear the earmark of the progressive era in which both were idiotically constructed by the national elites who believed it was a good thing for people, on that one day, to stop and remember mommy and daddy. Every god damned day for me is a mother's and father's day. I know parents are essential but do we really need a god damned holiday for essential things? We might as well have a national toilet paper day or better yet A NATIONAL TAMPON DAY! The same idiocy is involved in Valentines day, another lame day. The codification of these days on the political altar of Washington into "holidays" is also coming from the same people that start wars, use nuclear weapons, drafts kids sending them to their death, taxing the populace, actually killing and bombing moms and dads in other countries, and basically creating social and economic havoc in every way possible but oh wait, by the way, it also reminds you to have a high regard for mom and dad. This mothers and fathers day I will be doing nothing special for mom and dad, because I have regarded them every other day of my life, and no stupid government sponsored day is going to change that.

I love Mother's Day.

It is stupid, yes. My parents know I care for them. But it effects no loss upon me.

That's a Holiday I like. It's one day that reminds us how much our mothers have done for us, how much we take their efforts and love for granted. Because face it, somehow we get accustomed to the motherly care and it almost becomes expected. Thank god women here and now have gained a sense of worth and make sure to demand what they deserve. In the earlier days a woman was expected to clean, cook, run errands, do homework with kids, take them to their sports, to the park to do laundry, to take them to school, take care of them when they are sick and on top of that give her husband good lovin and understanding. While men went to work in the office.... ohhhh such a tough day!

By the way, I remember my college graduation day. It was interesting and sad at the same time that most of the graduating students were thanking only their mothers for support. Men and women alike. If I am not mistaken only 10 kids thanked both of their parents. Now that is just darn sad!

I have never been through a graduation before but I did not think people ever had an opportunity to address the audience.

They did, I started the trend.

They did, I started the trend.

Fascinating.

I remind myself to not take my family for granted. I feel bad for people that need help from the government for that. On the other hand, I do not mind "being forced" to have a nice dinner.

Blah blah blah please save me the pc hogwash, and why remember only the mother? Let's face it is a bullshyt day that never needed to be legalized. It's crap, like everything else Government related. Furthermore, you don't need a lame day to remind you to care and respect and remember your mother. Why do you need a government to tell you how to think?
