My wife, who works at an assisted living facility in town, just got home and told me a sad story of a resident whose grown kids did not bother to call her today.
So I’m here to remind you to get off your goddamn butt and call your mom. Now.

Mother’s Day matters

My Mother didn’t do Mother’s Day. She thought was made up to sell greeting cards and flowers.
Too late—my Mom died about 21 years ago. But I did encourage my son to visit this weekend, and he is here. The three of us went out for dinner last night (figuring today would be too crowded in the restaurants).
Yeah. Hard to connect with the dear departed.
(Mother’s day is also a day of social obligation, but thankfully it no longer applies to me)
Thank you, but no. I have no desire to verbally abused by my mother, or to apologize for paying for my father’s funeral. He was a dead shit, but if giving his siblings the time and the place to grieve makes me a hypocrite then I’ll gladly take on the mantle of hypocrisy.
My mother is dead, too.Wish I could call her.
My mother died in 2022. I call my parents at the same time each week but always had to use the bathroom right before I called. She played favorites and I wasn’t the one. But I can’t talk about that openly or else it will cause unnecessary family drama.
