Where did all this mother's day hype come from? I hate the way commercial enterprises exploit what should be a nice day just for the sake of making more money. Even worse considering that this is supposed to be for children to say thanks to mum for what she does. How many kids do you know are going to be able to afford the average tat that QVC seem to think mums want? The line of shows is rubbish anyway. The same old tat with "Mother's day" stamped on it. Bring back the idea that you get a card and make mum breakfast in bed. My mum has never wanted MD gifts because it's all such a con. It's insulting too - one presenter suggested buying a make-up kit, keeping the bits you wanted and giving the rest to mum. That's nice and thoughtful isn't it? :33:
