Happy Mother's Day for Sunday 11/5

May 05 2014

I would like to wish all the GREAT mothers on RHP a Happy Mother's Day on this coming Sunday 11 May :-) Your stories aren't my business as long as you are great to your kids, love your little ones, be a good role model to them, and you put your children's lives and wellbeing (physical and mental) before you, then you are a great mothers in my eyes! :-) My best wishes are also extending to those loving fathers, who play a mother role as well, and they will do what a mother would do for their children. Hopes and helps are actually everywhere, so hugs to those single parents and don't give up! :-) Happy Mother's Day :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

    My daughter just turned 7 and is at the age where she is becoming very defiant and seriously testing my patience! All I can say is, thank God I only had the one!! Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there this Sunday! I wish you all a long sleep in and breakfast in bed (we can dare to dream!).

    My beautiful kids are the one thing I am so very proud of and it amazes me daily how they managed to become the well adjusted adults they are considering they had a fuckwit of a father. It used to piss me off the lack of involvement and interest he showed in his kids but I look at them now and realise it was probably just as well.

    Mothers Day is all three of my girls waking me up with an abundance of home made gifts, beautiful creative girls that they are, crossaints for breakfast and out for lunch with the family <3 There is always a few tears for Mum, but Hubby goes out of his way to make the day special for me with lots of cuddles and special gifts. I'm a very Lucky Lady to have such gorgeous daughters and a loving husband

    I have 3 boys aged 20, 18 & almost 11. Very happy, healthy and well adjusted young men. I get a lot of comments about my kids and how good they are and how lucky I am and I used to agree, now I just tell them it isn't luck, it is good management :) Happy Mother's day to all you hot MILF's (sorry, just had to throw that in!)

    Although my mum and I still clash on occasion and we are very different in a lot of ways, she is a wonderful, hardworking woman and I owe so much to her (and my dad...if it wasn't for them I don't even know if I would be here now). I wish I could buy her something really amazing, like an overseas trip (she hasn't been overseas), but for now I have to go a bit smaller. I'm crossing my fingers that her present arrives here in time for Sunday (sent from the UK). Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mums out there

    To all the mothers and daughters who don't have each other for whatever reason... much love to you all. I'm so glad I'm a mum, but I miss never having been a daughter who could celebrate that bond, so my thoughts are with you all. <3

    Shy love that post I got a phone call from the supermarket I won the Mother's Day hamper raffle for Mrs D...hopefully it's a winning lotto ticket I gave her too. I sent a bunch of flowers to my 91 y/o Mum in Christchurch too. Special thoughts for those can't be with their Mum's or off spring.

    To all mums alive and passed, and those mothers who were unable to keep their babies or who lost them too soon. x

    The founder of Mother's Day wouldn't have wanted you to buy those flowers for mom. Or that card. Or those chocolates. In all likelihood, she wouldn't have wanted you to celebrate the holiday at all. . The fact that we will collectively spendnearly $20 billionon moms this year probably would have caused Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mother's Day, to throw her lunch on the floorlike she reportedly didin the early 1900s, when she found out that a department store in Philadelphia was offering a Mother's Day special, according to Mental Floss. . Jarvis -- a West Virginia woman who didn't even have children of her own, came up with the idea for a Mother's Day holiday, organizing the first celebration at a Methodist church in 1908. Annoyed that most American holidays were dedicated to honoring male achievements, Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to make it a national holiday, involving wearing a white carnation, visiting your mother and maybe going to church. . Her campaign worked, but not in the way she hoped: She never wanted Mother's Day to be the commercial holidayit quickly came to be. (Although maybe she should have thought twice about getting financing for the first celebration from the owner of Wanamaker's, a major department store at the time.) . Soon afterCongress made Mother's Day an official holiday in 1914, Jarvis was actively campaigning against it, leveling harsh criticism against florists, candy makers, greeting-card companies and anyone else looking to make a buck off the holiday. . A 1924 storypublished in the Miami Daily News and Metropolis detailed Jarvis's distaste for what Mother's Day had become. It pretty much comes down to this: . Commerce: "Commercialization of Mother's Day is growing every year," says she. "Since the movement has spread to all parts of the world, many things have tried to attach themselves because of its success." Florists: "The red carnation has no connection with Mother's Day. Yet florists have spread the idea that it should be worn for mother who has passed away. This has boosted the sale of red carnations." Confectioners: "Confectioners put a white ribbon on a box of candy and advance the price just because it's Mother's Day," she charges. "There is no connection between candy and this day. It is pure commercialization."Greeting cards: "The sending of a wire is not sufficient. Write a letter to your mother. No person is too busy to do this. Any mother would rather have a line of the worst scribble from her son or daughter than any fancy greeting card or telegram."
