I agree that teaching or having pets does not count as being a mother. First and foremost one does not have to gestate and give birth to students or pets (although there are mother who did not give birth to their children! I am sure I could think of other differences, but I am tired too.

Thanks! Had a fun Mother's Day with pockets of extreme frustration.

I just read your Mother's Day entry, and it did indeed sound frustrating at times! :^| It sounds like the restaurant was woefully unprepared for the crowd that inevitably goes out for Mother's Day.

I don't get the desire to include non-moms under the Mother's Day umbrella. People will wish me a happy Mother's Day (who know I'm not a mom!), and when I say, "Thanks, but I'm not actually a mom," then they rush to try to justify why I am, like, "Sure you are! You have two dogs!" Umm. The big difference is that I get to send students home on the bus at the end of the day, and I can put my dogs in the yard when they get on my nerves. Simply caring for things doesn't qualify one for Mother's Day honors! I might as well get well wishes because of my houseplants!
