Comment on The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child.

Problem with anxiety is that literally anything can be a trigger, that makes it so complicated (even impossible) to create a world without them.

I don’t want to belittle the point that you are raising, I for myself have more then enough other anxieties to know better then that, and you have my fullest sympathies.

yep bullshit holidays.

I’m a dad and I love spending time with my kids. I absolutely don’t want them to ever feel obligated to hang out with me or buy me a card or present or anything because of some bullshit holiday.

My wife is on all the normal social media, insta, Facebook and such, and has such high expectations for mothers day because it seems to have become some sort of requirement to make a post bragging about what your family did for you on mother’s day.

I hate it all so much.

I spend time with the people I love and I frequently tell them how much I love them and do things to demonstrate it too.

mother’s day, father’s day, valentine’s day and Christmas gift giving expectations can all go fuck right off.

  As a mother I don’t really care for mothers day either. Nor to I care for Valentine’s day.
  
  I am a mother everyday, and I love my husband everyday, I don’t need a capitalistic holiday that requires spending money to celebrate this.
  
  I’ll take the cake on mother’s day, but mostly it’s for my kid and husband feel good for doing something, not because I expect it. Corpo holidays can fuck off wirh their expectations, yes
