Mother’s Day is intended as a day of appreciation and celebration, but also seems to sow a lot of sadness and confusion.
The very structure of these days is confounding, leading to lots of questions:What is expected of stepchildren who have multiple parents?
Are women who aren’t parents supposed to correct store clerks who wish them a “Happy Mother’s Day,” or should they just accept their carnation quietly and endeavor to avoid all human and online contact on that day? If children don’t contact parents on this day, how bad are parents permitted to feel, and if you do feel bad, should you diminish your own feelings as being embarrassing, unimportant, and “self-centered?”
