My child’s school have changed the name of Mother’s Day to special persons day, what do you think?

Have we gone mad or is this appropriate?

@Comedycook If an adult actually said that to a bereaved child then they are a total cunt.

To those who have quoted me I didn't have time to read 16 pages. Fair enough if it's for children without mothers but it should at least be special women rather than special people. That covers the bases without erasing women.

These issues have been well though out over the years by people much smarter than us, the woke want to throw it all away and everyonebe their own Pope/God worshipping self, they claim to know better with their intersectionality, Foucault etc ideologies, crack on, you have achieved the most mentally unwell, narcissistic and unhappy population ever.

I'm speechless at that too.

Imagine having a caregiver who addressed the bereavement process like that.

Yeah fuck those kids that don’t have mums! 🙄

Strawman and simplistic

Nothing you have said here answers my question.

Bizarre.

No, that is exactly what you are doing.

Brain washed? Some kind of religious cult? Just unwell?

What is bonding and joyful about making a card at school? Would any child really be miserable because they are making a card for someone special to them?

So @LittleFingerStrength what do you think should happen to children whose mum has died and who feel jealousy or envy towards children whose mums aren't dead?

She just parrots "strawman" when someone challenges her attitude.

So a child with no mother is being loved, cared for and brought up by their father and they can't have him as their special person? Are woman really so insecure that they couldn't let that child choose their special person?

Eh? It's because some children don't live with their mum's because their mum's are dead, don't see them, live abroad, are in prison etc. This prevents those children from feeling left out.

No when you make statements I haven't made an md twist what I said.

Crack on, I don't need your good opinion of me. You are just a random on the Internet.

I have children in their 20s, I am seeing tomorrow and we have lovely plans. They and I am quite content with my parenting. It was one of them was in their teens that pointed out Kimberly Crenshaw and how flawed her thinking was - to me.

But Kimberly Crenshaw has nothing to do with trying to support kids without mothers.

Absolute stupidity. The so called western countries have lost the plot.

Mothers and others is a lovely idea, why cause a child pain unnecessarily?

And OP clarified lunchtime that it was changed for Father's Day first.

No one's up in arms about that tho.

What do you think should happen?

Should they be encouraged to try to spoil others special day by being put at the top of the intersectionality top trump table that week? That only they are allowed feelings that week? Egg shell walking?

They should be given Foucault full control of the situation and dictate to everyone?

Nobody else should have fun and nobody should be happy for others to be happy?

You think everyone should be envious of others having a nice day and they shouldn't be allowed it and be miserable?

The bereaved 5 year olds I assume. 🤔

It's kind of cute how you are using big words and concepts you clearly have no understanding of.

@LittleFingerStrength my mother died when I was a child. The pain is indescribable. I felt like a freak and an outcast. I was deeply traumatized. Mothers day was horrendous for me. I don't think it should be banned. I am fine for others to celebrate it. I just didn't want to sit there whilst everyone celebrated it in front of me.

In the same way, I imagine a woman who has just had a miscarriage doesn't want to sit in a post natal ward with women who have just given birth.

Which has nothing to do with "look, lots of our kids don't have a Dad. Maybe we should rename our Father's Day activities"
"yeah OK, how about" someone who loves you extra special" day?
"nah too long. Special person day"
"and Mom's?"
"yes, fairs fair, we don't know who might lose their mother suddenly after all"
