Should wives or s/o also be celebrated on Mothers Day?

I say Happy Mother’s Day to anyone who is a mom, I give my sister a card, and some close friends as well. It isn’t my Mother’s day, it’s Mother’s day.
By the way, to all my Fluther Family who are moms – Happy Mother’s Day!

Trillian, thanks. i agree. i never thought of it that way.

@Trillian That’s how I always figured it, too.

And if she is the mother of your child you should honor her because she helped you bring that child into the world and vice verse on father’s day.

Answered in error.

Yes, especially in this day and age of blended families.

I have also been blessed with several ‘surrogate’ Moms along the way of life who in many ways know and understand me better than my own Mom. I especially celebrate them on Mother’s Day, as well as my SO’s Mom, who has so beautifully nurtured and influenced him and his sisters.

Well here in England Mother’s Day was back in March.However today happens to be my Mum’s birthday so, happy birthday Mum!! Yay.

In South Korea today is Parent’s Day. I think that covers it quite nicely for me, and for everyone else who provides care to a child.

Last week was also Children’s Day, and a national holiday (which fell mid-week, woo hoo!). There were craft fairs, shows and other activities going on everywhere; it was sooo fun!

Not only do I celebrate all traditional moms but I celebrate others as well.
I celebrate those who have no other children but have experienced a loss b/c if losing a child doesn’t make you a mother I don’t know what does.
And I celebrate those who desperately wanted children and couldn’t have them b/c we know they tried so hard and they are a mom at heart.

Is your wife a mother? The celebrate!

If she’s a mother, then celebrate!

Did you or your wife ever have a mother – then celebrate.

No. Only mothers. Of course many wives and girlfriends are also mothers. But, being a mother is the deciding factor. Isn’t it obvious?

@perspicacious Every one who was ever born had a mother – Mother’s Day is for all.

@YARNLADY The question is who should “be celebrated” on Mother’s Day; it has nothing to do with everyone having a mother.

@perspicacious Well, for those who don’t wish to celebrate their own mothers, I guess it would be a null day.
