Ok, maybe stupid is a little harsh, just thoughtless in this case.
Today is Mothers' Day over here... Working this morning I got wished a happy mothers day multiple times over.
I know they're probably just being friendly, taking a look at me and hedging their bets (I should add, of the staff working today I got it far more than anyone else), but it just served to rub salt into the fresh open wound.
I just can't understand why you would wish a happy mothers day to someone you don't know, someone whose circumstances you have no idea about. It seems to me that it's going to come across as rude and/or insensitive (imagine it being said to someone who has just lost a child) far more than it is going to be welcomed.
I've said it once, I'll say it many times - Stupid Americans!
I hate it because of my mother being dead - that's another thing people don't think of and there have been times when someone's said it at just the wrong point and I've made them feel bad about my mum being dead and that makes me feel guilty...
ReplyDeleteSo even if I wasn't super broody, I would still hate it (and being online means I get ours and theirs). It is an insensitive thing to say.
Bah. *Snuggle*
