45. Yeah, and that's my point.

For some people, the notion of motherhood is neutral or positive.

For others, it brings up extremely painful associations.

YOu can't tell by looking what anyone's story is, so why risk hurting someone for the sake of small talk?

Mother's Day is a FAMILY holiday. It's specifically for women who are happily mothers/grandmothers/aunts/mentors/furbabymamas, and their children, physical or otherwise who want to honor that day with them.

It's not for strangers. That's my point. That's all I"m saying. Don't wish some random woman you see on the street "Happy Mother's Day" if you don't know her story.
