Fuck this scam

We've been socially programmed to buy into this shit every year and if we don't spend money on it we look like huge assholes. My mom would unironically be devastated if I didn't buy her a card, flowers and chocolates every year.

What was that $9.00? Mine was $9.00. My gf's was also around $9.00.

They get more expensive every year.

$7 for the card, $25 for the flowers.

Nobody said you have to buy mother's day (tm) branded items to give to your mom. It's about the meaning behind what you're giving, make it something unique

My mom doesn't care about this consumerist imposed festivity.

If your mom does, she is most likely blue pilled and a little bit entitled.
Just treat her well every day, not only one day every year because the society told you so.

mother's day doesn't exist
it is a concept invented by literally hallmark, to sell cards

Being a mom isn't even hard we need a NEETS day

Just do it and forget the money. A moment of happiness for mum is worth it.

T. Mom is dead, and I regret not appreciating her more

I stopped calling 15 years ago

She turned out to develop dementia

So all around it was good thing

Yep I'll suck it up, just for mom. It's just money

short mom long dad

It is bullshit, but if you have a bluepilled mom then suck it up. You only ever have one mate. Redpilling her on hallmark's scam business model is probably not going to work at this point.

kek'd

Yo niBBers get yo women some chocolate if u know what im sayin hyek hyek hyek

Does your wife deserve a gift from you for it if you have kids? She was bitchy about it this morning and I told her she wasn’t my mother.

I never actively participated in any holiday. I never buy anything for anyone just because the jews made up a day you're supposed to spend money on stupid shit. No one expects anything from me. You set your own bar too high and now you have to let it down if you want to stop.

ha ha cuck family

my mom just wants a phone call.

but i have so many bitcorns from 2012, i buy her a card anyway.

Yep you get double cucked if you get married. In fact you now have to worry about her birthday, your anniversary, Valentine's Day and Christmas too.

>No one expects anything from me
no they don't... and they'll go to their graves thinking you're a cheap shit

This.

Stopped talking to my mom in 2006. Best decision I ever made.

mine is the most negative, motivation destroying person i've ever known and she's to blame for so much that's gone wrong... so stupid

it's not all her fault though... her mother was probably the same to her

My mom is redpilled af, all she expects is a phone call and I call my folks every couple weeks anyways so it's no biggie. If I got her chocolates and shit she'd actually be annoyed that I was buying into the hallmark scam.

It's such an NPC red flag to be into hallmark holidays. They are obviously, transparently, blatantly just marketing schemes to get you to buy shit. Nobody even denies it. But because the holidays have been inextricably linked with these normie sacred cows like "love your parents", they just go along with it. They would rather buy into the scam than be shunned by their peers.

OP checking in. Aside from the gifts we went to the movies and got lunch. Dropped about $175 on mama today total. She was really happy so I guess it was worth it. It's still so frustrating that I work my ass off just to be expected to throw it away on stupid shit. I'm trying to accumulate crypto so I can actually pay off her mortgage in a few years.

Tell her you're broke and Clean her house and make dinner, she'll love that way more. She gets the day off.

White people ladies and gentlemen.

I'm white and trying my best to maintains cohesive family structure despite my fucked up upbringing.
She knows that I work two jobs and have money to burn. I really should help her out around the house more but I have almost zero free time for that. I only see her for lunch/dinner 1-2 times a week.

if you think all mothers deserve to be treated with respect despite their own shortcomings, just because they gave birth to you, then you're a fucking idiot

Nigger ladies and gentlemen

Birthdays, Christmas... all this shit are scams. My girlfriend always whining about how I didn't get her anything. She doesn't believe they are scams.
