Well, I understand where that response might come from. I’m sure to women like that, it feels like I’m saying, “Poo-poo to your Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate you and your unpaid labor even less than we already do!” That’s definitely not my point — but I can see how one could make that leap. And I can understand how that would be really difficult to feel like someone might be pushing back against this one crumb our culture gives to mothers. I try to have some compassion about it, though it does come with a sting.
