Sarah, what do you say to your 6 year old who brings you a paper plate flower she or he made in school for you, or a card ? Think your campaign will mean a damned thing while you reject his or her gift to you? NO mother can do that, with any conscience.

margarita you are 100% right on! What these women in the video are misguided. What they propose is a selfish act.

Mother’s Day is recognition for all the hard work devoted to this job. I miss my own Mother that I lost in 2008 and I always remember her this day as well. We all face death every day whether it is getting on the highway, childbirth, disease; we just need to make people aware to donate through fund raising.

[...] Day is this Sunday (woo-hoo!) And while I know there’s a movement to ban Mother’s Day, I’m counting down to this day for moms like a kid looking forward to going to Disneyland. Even [...]

No. I don’t think dissapointing my own children will make a point. It will just make them sad.

While I appreciate what she and others are trying to do, some of us have looked forward to being able to celebrate that day for a long time. This is my first physical child (I lost one last year) and I want to spend Mother’s Day with her, celebrating my crossing over into motherhood. Yes, it is unfortunate that there are some who pass on from complications with the birth, however, why shouldn’t those who have made it be celebrated and treasured for having done so? Perhaps we should keep Mother’s day but do something special like light a certain color candle for an hour in memory of those who passed along the way in their attempt to become Mothers. That’s something I can go for, not the giving up/disappearing for Mother’s Day altogether. After all, isn’t life too precious for either one of us (mother or family) to be missing on a day of celebration and thanksgiving?

Absolutely not. I think there are other ways to fund raise for money that does not involve taking a mother from her child on this specal day. Think of the mixed messages we send out children that have celebrated mothers day year after year, then suddenly Mom isn’t there to be celebrated. And what about the children who have no mother to celebrate mothers day for. I think this is a very mixed message to send our children.
