It’s not bad enough that we single ladies have to endure the sappy Valentine’s Day commercials focusing on perfect men giving perfect women gifts of highly expensive jewelry, now those same marketers are infiltrating Mother’s Day! What happened to flowers? How come all of a sudden they are trying to convince us that perfect little children and besotted, romantic husbands should be giving diamond necklaces as the perfect Mother’s Day gift?
Listen up marketers! Have you ever thought of focusing on single mothers? There are plenty of us out there. Trust me on this one. (and to my own, truly incredible mother? I may not be giving you a diamond necklace, but don’t ever doubt my appreciation of what you’ve done for me! )
Happy Mother’s Day!
