On Behalf Of All The Women


To the person or persons who felt the need to post this sign, on behalf of all the women who are not mothers in the biblical, traditional sense~ due to choice, divorce, childhood trauma, surgery, miscarriage, infertility, not finding the right mate before the biological clock ran out and all the reasons, heart-wrenching and not, under the sun for not being a mother on Mother's Day~ I say to you without a shred of politeness...Bite Me.
To all the women of the world, be you mothers of children, mothers of beings with fins, four legs or feathers, mothers of invention, mothers of creativity or mothers of souls in need of mothering, I wish for you a happy, healthy, grateful, inspiring Mother's Day every day of the year. Your womanhood is your true salvation. Express it as you see fit.
{For Lynn}

  4. What an ignorant sign -- I'd like to say that I am surprised, sadly I'm not.

  10. Bless you for this. Bless you. One of our employees (I run a business with, yes, he-whom-I-met a little too late for children) once said to me, in a patronizing explanation of some nonsense, that well, of course, perhaps I didn't get it (whatever it was), having no children, and therefore no maternal instinct. Not worth firing him over, but I cried in the bathroom, and I've never forgotten. The man who said this to me? The father of 5 children, rasing them alone because their mother changed her mind & left. And me? My pets are my babies, my niece the love of my life. So once again, bless you. And PS - the abovementioned employee came to see the error of his viewpoint, and proved me right in keeping him.
