But Mother's Day celebrates a huge lie about the value of women: that mothers are superior beings, that they have done more with their lives and chosen a more difficult path. Ha! Every woman's path is difficult, and many mothers were as equipped to raise children as wire monkey mothers. I say that without judgment: It is, sadly, true. An unhealthy mother's love is withering.

Dang, Ann, nobody forces you to take your mom out to lunch. If she was that bad, then try to do better yourself and maybe your kids will take you to lunch once in a while. You might even get a card on mother’s day. Or not, can’t say, I don’t know you.

Gawd. . .what an ugly “woman.,” inside and out.
I will bet she's had an abortion and tried to cover-up her agony by saying these spiteful and cruel things about mothers and motherhood.

Well, I tried. I got her a brand new Tru-Glow red dot scope ... and she wasn’t impressed. Darned Mother’s Day anyway!

I have dislike for Mother’s Day because it is another Hallmark holiday. I try honor my mother and mother-in-law everyday.

What can you hope for if your best shot is getting a Democrat elected to some office? Sad, pathetic human being.

Get over it Ann.
Write a book about something you know nothing about....like a charity for horrible human beings...which is what I have for you.
