It's only this year that I have realised just what a controversial statement that is.I don't think I've ever really known WHY we celebrate Mothers Day. Of course I've always done/ received the card and present bit but it's not like Christmas.... my teacher never sat us down and told us a story about why we were making our mummy's a card or why it was never the same date/ day...... same goes for Fathers Day. So lets start by taking a few minutes to think about the background to the 'celebration' then I'll let you know where I sit and you can leave your comments to give me your opinion.
Mothers Day (or Mothering Sunday)'s roots are not really set in stone. It seems that different Countries celebrate the occasion on different days for different reasons.
