It's a day to celebrate our relationship, our bond, and all of the experiences and memories we've shared together. I've treasured my son and celebrated myself, because for me, the day is about appreciating that I'm a mother to the most incredible kid. I've loved our Mother's Days. Whether playing tag at the park, savouring a treat together on a patio, or enjoying dinner with my mum and grandad, I'm present for the good things, the tender things, the beautiful things. According to Statistics Canada, over 81 per cent of the over one million children in lone-parent families are living with their mothers. Such a narrative is problematic for many, including mothers in heterosexual relationships who don't get treated by their partners. Perhaps Mother's Day focuses more on husbands celebrating wives because motherhood has often been left out of feminist conversations.

We celebrate moms for one day a year while doing everything in our power to keep them down at all other times. By Alison Stine. Published May 8, 2022 7:08AM ...

While many parents worked from home, 71% of fathers reported a " positive outcome" of remote work while only 41% of mothers did, according to a 2021 study, perhaps because mothers were still expected to do it all while working their jobs from home: to cook, clean and be the one whose meetings are interrupted, the one expected to entertain children or keep them on school task. The determination of mothers cannot be overstated, but our reward for getting things done no matter what is fewer jobs and promotions, lower pay and abysmal medical care. We know that women, particularly women of color, are paid less than men, but mothers specifically are punished financially more than fathers, which some experts call the " Motherhood Penalty." Single moms are punished most of all. My name never budged on the childcare waitlist I put my son on when he was a newborn. Motherhood is seen as interfering with work in a way that fatherhood does not, and mothers are treated differently. Last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, around 10 million mothers living with children in the U.S. were not actively working jobs, an increase of 1.4 million more than the previous year. COVID set back women's gains in the workforce to the lowest levels since 1988. New mothers are ostracized, isolated with the encompassing reality of caring for a newborn which some moms, like me, must do totally alone, often not by choice. But in the last two years, my longtime partner moved in with my son and me and has become a constant, dependable fixture in my son's life. As historian Katharine Antolini told the BBC "the floral industry, greeting card industry and candy industry deserve some of the credit for the day's promotion." I still hate Mother's Day. And many other mothers I know do too, in large part because it feels like slapping a smiley sticker on a gaping wound. I used to believe my dislike of Mother's Day stemmed from the fact that I was a single mother, my now ex-husband leaving our family shortly after our child was born.

After Howe's campaign, Anna Jarvis pursued her own efforts in 1905 after the death of her mother, Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis on May 9, 1905. Anna missed her mother ...

On May 10, 1908, the first official observance of the day took place at Andrews Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. The day takes place on the second Sunday of May, and this year it takes place on May 8, according to nationaldaycalendar.com. Anna missed her mother dearly and started a campaign of letter-writing to declare the day to be official.

Michelle Obama, Halsey, Alicia Keys, The Backstreet Boys, Jenna Dewan and more have been honored or paying tribute to their moms for Mother's Day.

"In a world full of chaos and uncertainty your love and care for our children is the constant that holds us all together. "Happy Mothers Day to all of us!! "Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers who are reading this!" You are amazing," the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alum wrote. Alicia Keys shared a silly video pushing her husband Swizz Beatz out of her room after he asked, "Who do you want to spend Mother's Day with?" "Happy Mother’s Day to my mom! Give us Life," he wrote. "At the end of the day, you should only become a mom if YOU want to become a mom. "For some of us this day is dedicated to how sweet it is to love or be loved unconditionally," Mitchell said in a lengthy tribute to mothers. Thank you for making me a mom." A choice," the actress said. "My mother gave me that nonstop, unconditional love that was so important for me to grow up.

"I've shared so much of her wisdom with my own daughters over the years," the former first lady said of her mother Marian Robinson in honor of Mother's Day ...

At my house, they're my rules," Robinson said in an interview ahead of President Obama's inauguration. "I know Michelle is strict … When I'm at their house, the girls are doing all the stuff their mother has told them to do, there's not much left for me to do! But when they're at my house, they don't have to scrape the dishes – and they get to watch TV."

CLEVELAND — “Mom!” Alek Manoah's voice jumped out of the phone, a little startled, a little scared. “I just crashed your car!” “Oh my God, Alek!

He drove it off Carlos’ lot that day, pulled up to the new house in a nicer Miami-area neighbourhood he bought Susana with his draft bonus, and made another call to his mom. And there it was — a brand new 2020 Grand Cherokee. White with black rims like the one Manoah pulled up past that flashing red light. She went through a lot of shit to give us a chance to play ball. “She didn’t have a lot to work with. What he didn’t tell her was that he’d be pitching in a pair of pink-and-white, size 17 cleats he was having custom made for the day and planning to gift Susana after his start. And it was from that very spot that Manoah called Susana in a slight panic to let her know the dream car she couldn’t really afford was totalled. But that was the extent of the damage. Some of Manoah’s favourite pictures from those days are of Susana driving him and his teammates around in a golf cart during tournaments, balancing that big scorebook on her lap. “And she didn’t have a car for a while. Just got to find a way to continue to breathe. And try to get the team a win.” Don’t worry, I’m going to get it back for you.’ And at that time, it’s like, ‘Yeah, sure, Alek.’ Like, ‘Get it back?

Cleveland — “Mom!” Alex Manoah's voice popped out of the phone, a little surprised and a little scared. “I crashed your car!” “What a hell, Alex!

He drove it from Carlos’s grounds that day, pulled him to a new home in a better neighborhood in the Miami area where he bought Susana with a draft bonus, and called his mother again. She experienced a lot of shit to give us the opportunity to play the ball. “She was always the mom of our team,” says Manoa. “She was always doing whatever she could. Forget the Grand Cherokee — Manoa was able to put her mom in the Wrangler. But that wasn’t his promise many years ago. Two weeks ago, when he saw how Toronto’s pitching schedule was lined up and was planning to start the season’s sixth on Mother’s Day, Manoa was more to his mother than he was from that Homestead. I started making fun calls. And it was from that very place that Manoa panicked a bit and called Susana to let her know that the dream cars she couldn’t really afford were summed up. But he has it over and over again, so Manoa found a way to give his team innings and put them in a position to win. “And she didn’t have a car for a while. Don’t worry, I’m going to get it back for you.” And then it said, “Yes, Certainly, it’s like “Alex”. Like,’Get it back? It’s huge, “says Manoa. “It put her in a really tough situation. In order to obtain his learner license, in such situations, drivers approaching the blinking red light are expected to give up to oncoming vehicles, and drivers approaching the blinking yellow are expected to proceed with caution.
