She wanted it to be a way to celebrate mothers but it became a commercialized thing. I can see why she got disgusted with it? Do I agree with that stance that she had of later despising it? I don't know.
Well, it sure didn't turn out to be what she had in mind. But once you turn something loose in the public arena, you lose control over it.
That's just what happens to commemorative holidays in a consumerist society. It's happened to all of them.
Um, who's stopping kids from acknowledging their mothers???????
I have news for you. You can acknowledge your mother anytime you darn well please, no need to wait to do it once a year. I'm sorry this has somehow escaped you, I hope you feel released from the tyranny of only being allowed to acknowledge your mother on a specific day every year.
The school is not allowing recognition of Mother's Day, that's who is stopping it. I don't know about you but when I was a kid, it was in school where we were able to make simple gifts for Mother's Day, gifts that we wouldn't have had to give otherwise.
The insanity of the left. Schools appear to be in a race to see who can be the most extreme, the most hateful, and the most intolerant. They proudly despise everything that is traditional. Principal Janet Di Pilla is proud to be an idiot.

Well, I'm sorry that you never learned to take a piece of paper, fold it in half, and write on it with a crayon. Your school must have been really pathetic.
Australia does what’s best for Australia. That’s really none of our concern.
