Because of my selfish behaviour Saturday, i totally messed up mother's day, i mean, i didn't get her a present, a card or evan say happy mother's day. It's not like i wait for one anniversary to roll around once a year to show my mum i love her, i care for her 24/7/365, although, i guess i would of felt better had i recognised her yesterday. Do you know what? After reading back to myself what i just write, it's got me thinking, why should i allow society to put pressure on me, in the view of celebrating mum when they say so, so no, i do not feel bad. It's a made up day that capitalises on people's feelings, the days i care, love and support my mum are not made up days, they are real, deep down, knitty gritty real. Just the same my mum loves me, i don't have to wait and nor does my mother have to wait for the anniversary of our birth to roll around to prove or show that i am loved.
This is why i love writing this blog, or evan the process of writing, because i get to think about what i am saying before i express it and in that thought process i am able to work out a solution or even come up with a realistic conclusion. So all you mums out there, the mums that society says we should recognise you for one day out of 365/366, i say bollox to one day, as one day comes nowhere close to celebrating the pinnacle of human existence, across the world no living creature would exist if it was not for the female, all the greatest so called men come from a woman, whether a woman choose to or not, a woman is psychological, biologically and genetically made to create life, WOW, who else on the planet can do that and more to the point how could a male ever come close to understanding that concept.
Mother's day, yeah right! A fruitcake toss has been given a national day and so has a been, so incomparason, mother's deserves the same recognition as been or fruitcake toss, does that sound right to?
God bless all the mums, mums to be and mums that don't want to be mums, you rock! And in my mind you guys deserve a bit more recognition than a been and a fruit cake.
At the end of day day folks, mum's were in Baghdad when we were in our dad's bag.

Hi Caspar, Thank you for giving me a deeply personal reply lately, I am writing here because it is not possible to reply to your reply to a comment directly. Thank you for your thoughts on mother's day. Did you know it is not the same day, universally? In Germany for example it is two months later, always in May, so I get two mother's days in a year, living in Scotland. I think as well, if there is a pancake day, there should be a mother's day, but no fuss, I felt sorry for my youngest daughter who appeared guilty for not having baked me a cake last Sunday, promising to bake one for me the next day. The expectation was nourished by my husband, not me, who by the way did not bake me a cake...
In the end, I got a lovely rich chocolate cake with lots of coloured buttercream and chocolate sprinkles on top and a large box of Thornton's to compensate for my daily troubles, a nice and welcome gesture.

Hey Iris, thank you for responding, it's much appreciated, I'm happy you got to have two Mother's days and get to eat a nice cake, you, like so many others i believe you deserve to have them every day, if i ruled the world you guys would, sometimes men can be a complete horse's arse, haha.
My Mother suffered dreadfully at the hands of my father and that's why i have a respect for women the way i do, "behind every great man is a greater woman", and i truly believe that, men are born babies and we stay babies, i am also glad your daughter got to feel not so bad after all.
