Moms' Day

From The Atlantic:
Few holidays succeed in disappointing mothers and striking terror into the hearts of fathers on an annual basis more than Mother's Day. The holiday—which once served as a simple way to honor mothers—now conjures up images of crowded brunches, breakfast in bed, and sappy Hallmark cards. It's developed into a commercialized, ridiculous holiday overwrought with expectations.
(ed note: I waited a day to post this because I'm trying to be a little less trollish - I hope everybody had the kind of day they always wished it would be.)
