OPINION
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. In order to garner where the level of interest is in this day, I did some very serious research on the matter and canvassed my female co-workers.
There was a mixed reaction ranging from some who thought it was a load of commercial rubbish to those who said they always celebrate it, even if it’s just in a small way.
Interestingly enough, one of the people who thought it was a complete waste of money then acquiesced somewhat and said she didn’t need her children to buy her anything but she really liked a gesture of flowers from the garden and a meal cooked for her by said offspring. What a turnaround.
It would appear the key word is “gesture” when it comes to Mother’s Day. Let’s be real; for the most part, the life of being a mother is multi-tasking, juggling and taking care of the things that make life tick over on the daily.
