Yeah, I remember my dad would let me beat him in putting contests, watch most of my sporting events, and taught me the ways to snag a mean tan by the pool but nothing can trump my mom staying up all hours of the night when I was sick and helping me through a handful of rough breakups.Īnd if I hear a sentence like, “I’m a mother to 6 beautiful cats,” come outcha mouth I’m going to smack you and say, I think the world of my mother and there’s not a chance I would be the grown boy that I am today without her.įrom a young age, I knew I had a closer bond with my mom in comparison to my dad. It’s safe to say that I’m a, quote unquote, mama’s boy but I will happily own up to that. Your temporary home was in your mothers stomach and once you were out in the world, her body produced food for you. Women literally grow a baby inside of them. Along with whatever financial/emotional support, massage giving responsibilities, and chocolate craving contributions he did for his baby mama, to avoid her ripping his head off like a Praying Mantis during the nine month pregnancy, is the extent to which he is responsible for creating a child. Just like building a baby, all a man does is provide his mandatory seed. “My daddy built this house with his bare hands six years ago.” Can he honestly say that he was responsible for the creation of that house? Absolutely not! He can say that without him it could not have been built but he did nothing more than provide the financial measures for it to be accomplished. Fast forward to however long it takes to build a house and boom, the house is on that once empty piece of land. We’ll give you Father’s Day to acknowledge your 45 seconds of humping like a rabbit in order to fulfill the reproductive process, but don’t get ahead of yourself.īig daddy Warbucks stumbles across an empty plot of land and says, “And on this here property, I shall build a house.” He goes out and hires a construction company to build his house. “Well, children couldn’t be created without sperm, so men are actually responsible for bringing everyone into existence.”Īlright chief, slow your role. All of our holiday’s wouldn’t be shit if it weren’t for moms whether you believe in religion or not, Mary was Jesus’ mother, all of our President’s have mothers (Trump might’ve been hatched, not 100% convinced otherwise), and all of the soldiers fighting for our freedom were once little tikes being told to eat their vegetables by, you guessed it, their mothers. That is why Mother’s Day is single handedly the most important day of the year and should be treated as more than just another Sunday.Īs much as my mother can rustle my jimmies, I am eternally grateful for her, and all women, for doing what they’re genetically designed to do by bringing people into existence. None of these holiday’s would even be a bleep on a technically non-existent radar if it weren’t for one thing, or species I should say…. We have Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, MLK Jr Day, Memorial Day, Cinco de Mayo (which is just an excuse for Americans to get drunk and drink Tequila… wait that’s every Friday and Saturday for some people □) and the list goes on and on. It is worth mentioning that the celebration usually includes a family reunion in which they eat delicious traditional dishes to the sound of Mexican music, and the whole family expresses affection, love and gratitude for their mothers and grandmothers.We live in a country where we like to party, that’s why we have a holiday for everything. However, other sources place the first Mexican Mother´s Day in Oaxaca in 1913, when the wife of a Methodist deacon found a magazine where the celebration was discussed in the U.S., and decided to bring up the idea in Mexican territory. Regarding the chosen date, information from the National Council for Culture and the Arts of Mexico (Conaculta) indicates that May was selected for this celebration since that is the month dedicated to the Virgin Mary, while on the 10th it was chosen because the tenth used to be “payday” back then in Mexico. ![]() The beginning of Mexican Mother’s Day dates back to April 13, 1922, the day on which the journalist and founder of the newspaper Excelsior, Rafael Alducin (1889-1924), launched a nationwide invitation to choose a special date to pay homage, affection and respect to Mexican mothers.Īccording to the Spanish newspaper El País, the response of Mexican society and the media was favorable, which led to Mexico’s May 10, 1922, to become the first official Mother’s Day, turning our country in the first nation in Latin America to pay that highly deserved recognition to the mothers. However, the authorities did not show enough enthusiasm for Mother’s Day to become an official celebration, until 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson formally decreed that celebration in the United States on the second Sunday of the month of May.
