Re: Remind HN: Today is Mother's Day, call your moms
#22Before I got married and had kids I thought it was a dumb Hallmark holiday.
Now I think it's really significant and important to have an official day dedicated to recognize all the moms out there.
Happy mother's day to all the moms out there. And all the guys that made them moms :)

#24How is it mother day isn't that 8 march
March 8th is International Women's Day ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day ). Mother’s Day is different from country to country ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day )
Apparently, according to wikipedia, we have a "mother's day" in the first sunday in may. I've seen nothing in the news about it and wasn't aware of its existence.
8 March was an entirely different animal...

March 8 is international women’s day. The most ignored of all holidays by US culture. To an almost hilarious degree. My partner frequently brags that she’s the only of her friends and coworkers, in 10+ years, who has ever gotten flowers for women’s day. Meanwhile even Uber drivers have wished her a happy women’s day in various heavy foreign accents.
// My partner frequently brags
March 8th is for the partners, mother's day is for the wives :)
Just kidding but couldn't resist.

International men's day isn't a thing in the US either, so that's not surprising. Contrast to Mother's/Father's Day, which are.

I feel some editorializing going on.
Here[0] is a list of many holidays that are ignored more than international women’s day.
Happy International Day of Plant Health to you!
