Remind HN: Today is Mother's Day, call your moms

I'll have a drink in her memory.

Respect. It's a good day to remember the impact they had even if they are no longer around to pick up the phone. Btw calling her now.

(in the US)

How is it mother day isn't that 8 march

She despises me for being gay. Not a chance I'm calling her.

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms on HN

Appreciate the reminder,small post,big impact.Happy Mother's day to all moms here.

Is it always May 10 in the countries where it's now? In Spain is the first Sunday of the month.

Before I got married and had kids I thought it was a dumb Hallmark holiday.

Now I think it's really significant and important to have an official day dedicated to recognize all the moms out there.

Happy mother's day to all the moms out there. And all the guys that made them moms :)

Not everywhere, in Portugal it is the first May's Sunday.

Unless you're in the UK in which case it was the 15th March and you've already done it (or already missed it)

I am happy for all those who celebrate.

Quick reminder that not all mothers are good people that we must keep in touch with. For people recovering from a rough childhood, here are a couple of resources that may be useful to you:

1. "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Gibson.

2. https://old.reddit.com/r/AdultChildren+CPTSD+raisedbynarciss...

This is the first year when I can’t do that.

Please go do it on my behalf, while it’s possible.

I have just come to HN from I was actually helping my mother in pressing legs as her legs sometimes hurt from pain :-(

Gonna go help my mom again in massaging her legs, Okay shes asking me to help now, bye!

This is good reminder but I do regular calls to her even today also

thx, I almost missed it

I lost my father last year because of complications from severe Alzheimer's. When I saw this, I thought my mother is still with us, and I need to be grateful for that. I love you mum!

Happy mother's day to any mothers here!

Lost my mom 17 years ago. Don't be a chump; one day she won't be here and you will miss her in ways you never could have imagined.

"I don't have mother" That's why I came to hear

HN’s demo is quite old. It’s likely most here are married with kids or have a dead mother.

The days of a young Silicon Valley are long gone.

When my mom remarried, her new husband started to manipulate her and isolate her from other relatives, trying to turn everyone against each other. The last time I met her, I was basically talking to two copies of him.

I've already dealt with the fact that I will not get my mom back.

Call your Mom every day, even for a minute

Also, Mother's Day is May 9th next year. If you do want to mail a card next year, I recommend making a calendar entry now to remind you to buy (or make) a card and mail it so it arrives in time, or at least least make a calendar entry to call her on the day of.
