It's just a transparent attempt to curry favour from the hard of thinking. Sure, we all love and respect our mothers (well, most of us do) so I guess the assumption is supposed to be that anyone who's a mum deserves love and respect. What a load of rubbish! They're her f***ing kids! You don't deserve a special prize for looking after your own interests. Mothers everywhere, and parents in general, may feel like their being selfless and altruistic, but the fact is that the vast majority* are being vicariously selfish.

*People who adopt or foster children are in a different league altogether.

I used to be a "SAHM" ( Stay at home Mum ) , full time. I cooked, cleaned, helped with home work etc etc, as we all did and do.

Now my kids are older ( Youngest 2 are 17 & 19 ) & I work @ 35 hours a week normally up to 11 pm at night. I am still a full time Mum, ensuring dinner is there even if I am at work, working to pay for things like driving lessons, buying a car for Uni, driving my girls to work ( & yes they do earn their way, no free lunches in my house hold). Waiting up on occassion on "Drunk Duty" till 03:30 am just in case I am needed ( Not needed yet) so I see it as the job description for a full time Mum does alter as the child gets older.

To be honest, when they were younger, all I had to do was wash clean & feed them & put them to bed, the rest of the time was mine. Now, they do all that them selves & I spend more timne waiting up & worrying...... Ho Hum

Someone should tell Little Miss Shred, Shred, Shred that tears are a part of crying.
