AIBU to wish MNHQ would create a Mothers Day topic

[TheHumbleHawthorn]

So all the whinging and entitlement could stop cluttering up chat and AIBU.

Happens every year and it's tedious.

😂 agree, sane for Valentine’s Day too!

Marvellous idea

It’ll be even worse tomorrow. I miss that option (was it on the phone app only? ) where you could whizz down a list of threads and tick Hide as you went. Then all the MD dross could be gone with one click.

People take it awfully seriously, don't they? It's like a sweet 16 style phenomenon on here! Mardy arses.

Yes, there will be much whining tomorrow so would be good to stick it all together somewhere.

Same for Christmas. I know there’s already an Xmas section but it’s mainly for those people who start preparing really early. I avoided most of MN around the Christmas period as the threads are always the same old things every year.

Brace yourself for

'I didn't get any overpriced flowers'
'I didn't get to go out for an overpriced meal in a really busy restaurant'

and AIBU to LTB because I got some flowers from the petrol station and an out of date chocolate bar

Mother’s Day is a made up Hallmark holiday it’s nonsense all the ‘celebrate nothers’ It’s roots are from visiting your home (mother) church halfway through lent for the Sunday service!

Yabu. These threads are very amusing and those of us who aren't mothers need something fun to read tomorrow

You know it would all still get moaned about in AIBU despite a specific thread anyway 😆

It was a rare day off for servants. So I suppose it does kind of fit what it’s morphed into.

DH said to me yesterday 'hey we could have a big roast meal for Mother's day!'

Yeah, one that I will bastard well have to prepare and cook. HE won't do it.

Apart from the fact it's nice to see DD (for an hour) and have a big bunch of flowers and some choccies from her, I can't really see the point of it.

Just another money-making piece of parp!
