Mother's Day song

Okay, so my youngest is in reception. She attends a really lovely school, lovely teachers; we have been happy so far.
However, today dd very proudly sang me the Mother's Day song she had been learning at school. The teachers had done a job of teaching her all of the words and I gave her a super big cuddle when she had finished. To be honest though I felt like stopping her at serveral points to have a little chat about the lyrics.
Example 'my mum is really quite clever, although she may not have a degree'
'She does the cooking and cleaning and makes a really nice tea.'
Hummmm...
Is it just me or do you think the lyrics are, how shall I put this... outdated!?
And a little bit shocking. Dh gives talks on gender equality and he thinks we should write a little note to the teacher.
WWyd?

Those fathers day songs are horrific too!!

Who can fix my broken bike?
Whose strong hands can hold me tight?
When I need someone to make things right,
It's my dear old Dad.

no mention of mopping the bathroom floor of whatever mum does in the song

I find the mothers' day song rather depressing.

All she's capable of doing is slogging away at home, no other skills apparently, and although she's basically a miserable cow and really hard to live with the kid still loves her.

Dad on the other hand is a great guy. Fixes things, makes life worth living and loves his kids.

All the songs are ghastly but the one about the mother is horrible.

The official Rice Purity Test is a 100 question survey that originated in Rice university, Houston, Texas. Hence its name – the Rice Purity Test.

This is yet another adaptation of the infamous de facto standard 500 question purity test and the newer 200 and 1000 questions tests.

You will get the Rice Purity Score after you complete the test. Rice Purity Score indicates the Innocence and Purity. 70-80 is also good score.
