If you listen to or read the advertisements in the media, the advertisers would like you to believe you need to spend money on mother’s day. Today I heard on the radio a jewelry store stating I should express my love with diamond ear rings which only cost $195. I guess the only way to show my mother love is to buy her something. WRONG!!!
Fortunately my parents brought me up to show love and appreciation all during the year and not just on one day. They also instilled upon the value of relationships and the appreciation which goes along with them each and everyday, not just one day a year.
Like many holidays Mother’s Day seems to be more about consumerism and less about the true meaning of the day. Thank you for visiting Expressing Opinions.
