We all know Mother's Day exists, and its purpose is to show appreciation for the love, care and nurturing that our amazing moms give us every single day. But what else do you know about Mother's day? Here are some Mother's Day facts that you can impress mom with this sunday, with thanks to Town and Country.
Mother's Day is on different dates each year: Because Sunday is the most relaxing and stress-free day of the week, it is ideal for Mother's Day. That's why it is always celebrated on the second Sunday in May, in the USA at least. In the UK Mother's Day falls instead on the Fourth Sunday of Lent, something dating back much longer than the American Mother's Day.
More calls are made on Mother's Day than any other day of the year: For those of us that can't visit mom in person, the very least you can do is to call her. That's why the second Sunday of May always has a huge spike in phone traffic, around 122 million calls are made on this day in the USA.
Mother's Day is the third highest selling holiday for flowers and plants: What is the ideal gift to brighten up your mom's day and show her that you care? Flowers has to be right up there as a safe choice. Around a quarter of all flowers purchased throughout the year are bought for Mother's Day. Only Christmas and Hanukkah, are busier times for your local florist.
Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants: It's not only florists that get a big business boost from all this mom love. In 2018, about 87 million adults made plans to go to a restaurant for Mother's Day. Have you made your reservations yet?
The history of American Mother's Day starts with peacemaker Ann Jarvis: During the American Civil War, Ann Jarvis saw a route to peace by creating friendship and community between mothers on both sides of the war. In 1868 she established "Mother's Friendship Day," the beginning of what was to become the modern holiday.
Ann's daughter Anna Reeves Jarvis carried on her mother's legacy by establishing a nationwide observance of Mother's Day in honor of her late mother. The very first Mother's Day was celebrated in 1908, but Reeves Jarvis quickly became disillusioned by the commercial aspect of the holiday. She began starting boycotts, walkouts, and even condemned first lady Eleanor Roosevelt for using the day as a means of fundraising. Reeves Jarvis would eventually use all her money in this fight, and died at the age of 84 in a sanatorium.
Needless to say, commercialization completely dominates the holiday now, much like everything else of emotional value. In 2018, over $23 Billion was spent on Mother's Day, with shoppers spending an average of $180 on gifts for their mothers. A nationwide total of $4.6 billion was spent on jewelry, while $4.4 billion went on dinners or brunches. Want to make a stand for Reeves Jarvis, the founder of today's Mother's Day? Fight back against the rampant consumerism that turns everything meaningful into a marketing opportunity? Cook your mother a nice meal, give her a foot massage, take her for a walk in nature, make her a gift with your hands and creativity. She is guaranteed to love it more than any trinket from the shops!
Well..if there is siblings there will be a bit of variation. "MINE,MINE MINE!" :-D
I made the mistake of bringing my niece to the dollar store once. I spent $21 things with sparkles... I wanted a gift bag and wrapping paper.
My cousin took her 4 year old son and infant daughter for a stroll around the neighborhood. About halfway into their walk, she realized her son was sucking on a candy. She made him spit it out and asked him where he got it. He said he'd found it on the sidewalk... BLECH!
My three-year-old recently found chewed gum (!) on the floor of a bus (!!) and threw flat on the floor to scoop it up with her lips (!!!), not her hands. Happened so quickly I couldn't prevent it. Feeling ever-so-slightly sick ever since.
Load More Replies...My son, when he was 3, had a mouth full of chewing gum on a trip to D.C. with his dad. When his dad asked him where he got the gum, he pointed to the sidewalk and said, "It's everywhere Daddy. Do you want some?". His mouth was full! It was a month before his dad told me the story. My son is 23 now, so thankfully he survived, lol.
My mum used to be a nanny, she was taking the kids for a picnic & realised the youngest was eating raisins. It took a few moments for her to realise that she hadn't brought any raisins. It was goat/sheep poo!
That is hilarious! Disturbing, but hilarious! Kids do the grossest things!
Load More Replies...My son used to literally lick the shopping cart handle. He's had a lot of antibiotics but he's 27 now so he survived
My kids do this kind of stuff all the time. I'm surprised we have not caught ebola by now.
Load More Replies...Even worse, our neighbor's toddler was found in the backyard with half, yes, half an earthworm in his mouth. I still gag just thinking about it...gotta go.
People eat those. Not as bad as you think, but I wouldn't eat one!
Load More Replies...Anyway we don't use street shoes inside the house, but after kid, is extremely forbidden (religion, cult level) shoes inside the apartment. He eats shoes. I Notice before he starts to walk with the shoes though.
I was talking to another mom at a McDonald's and her 4 year old daughter had to use the bathroom. We stood right outside the door talking when the little girl came out rubbing a tampon applicator on her cheek saying that it smelled so pretty. You've never seen a mom react so fast!
I let my 6 year old son stroked a snake at a petting zoo. Because snakes can carry salmonella, I reminded him to wash his hands afterwards and he did so/ with his tongue 😬
when my sister was a baby she crawled out to the sidewalk and found some dog poop and put that in her mouth, my mom grabbed her and stuck her finger down her throat to throw it up!!!
I was carrying my daughter and my 2 years old son had to go with me to OB place. When I was taking the urine sample in the restroom, my son licked the wall! It is stainless steel and looked pretty clean, but it was in the restroom!!! My blood pressure went to 120 and scared my OB since my usual number is around 90.
My twin daughters were experts at catching, and eating, house flies at the age of 18 months. The first time, I thought one of them didn't have a chance in hell of catching the fly in the window. Before I knew it, she was chewing it up. They tried earth worms and crickets too... I gagged a lot when they were little!
These were the same kids who only wanted chicken nuggets, Mac n cheese, and French fries! Kids are so weird.
Load More Replies...I always cringe when I see kids crawling around on the floor at the mall or in an airport.....
Just put a foot on it and buy a bit more time 😉 And possibly recycle quite a lot of it.
If we switch the people's roles around then that would be my childhood.
Well, i work with toddlers and let me tell you ; toddlers have their own will en personalities, but parenting is absolutely a big part in how they act. Some people have spoiled brats because they raised them as spoiled brats. No child is perfect, but parenting has a huge stake in your childs behaviour.
As a teenager, I remember doing these from childhood, but I dont think humanity really realizes hiw mich moms (and dads,) do for the world. Thank you moms. 💗
I'm no mom, but I do have a mom, and several siblings. These are pretty funny.
At 16 I raised my 2 cousins, now I'm a step mom all of these are true lol
To all moms out there. Thank you for being the rock your kids can lean on and the superhero that rescues them. I'm not a mom but I have a mom. And I know what I was like as a kid (I was satan incarnate) and she did it all with a smile moms are amazing
Hey, about kids not being able to sleep and coming back umpteenth times, doesn't it help to stay with them for like and hour and read them or something so they know they're not alone? Just asking genuine question.
I have more rest cleaning the kitchen than sitting in living room. But I kind of love the attention because they are in this cute age that they always want to kiss me. My kids make my life great and I love them although is not always easy or enjoyable.
I think there needs to be a meme of those annoying mums that say things like "you just wait till ___ happens." And even when you say it never happened they either don't believe you, or they think it just hasn't happened 'yet'. ugh, so annoying!
Okay,Iḿ not sure about anbody else but theese Memes are Really...REALLY dum- [Guys with threats comes in] WHAT DID YOU SAY? [Me] uhhh okay, im not sure about anbody else but theese memes are Really..REALLY persfect for mothers day! (Happy Mothers Day to all those Hardworking Mothers!)
