I love mothers day as it gives guy like me to say thanks to my mom for everything she did or doing for us even though we never appreciated her generosity,kindness & warmth towards her children.this is the day we can show our appreciation for everything she has done for us.

Joeprah, it's a cool site. Thanks. I'll spend some time there later.

Bobby, congratulations, first of all. And you're telling me not all dads wear a baker's hat and get flour on their cheeks? You're saying that some fathers make 2-3 meals a day for years, and for them not every meal is an opportunity for a paint-your-cheek-white game? I don't believe that!

Hmm. As we've become two daddies only two weeks ago, the subject of Mother's Day has been nagging me a bit lately. I certainly don't like the way they portray the dad in the ad though. It's not like there are two complete idiots raising our baby. Idiotic moments, I'm sure, but we're just as good as any Mom.

Hey there,

I just wanted to say thanks for the comment on my blog the other day--I really appreciated it. Oh, also, you need to check out dad-blogs.com. Peace

It's not so much offended. I have a cute baby, so it'll take more than that to offend me. I was trying to show the ignorance of a company that actually tries to go above the common denominator by including stay-at-home dads in Mother's Day celebrations.

Now, the ad I see is for ProFlowers. But I'll take 1-800-Flowers off the Google Ads just in case.

Dear OM,

You have allowed yourself to be offended by a national advertising campaign that was designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Sack up.

PS The ad being served by Google on your page right now is for 1-800-Flowers.

Bummer man, they pay your bills.

Idaho Dad, personally, as a "Mom," that's my usual day. I play catch with my kid, then I change his diaper, then I mow the lawn, mop the floor, cook, and watch the game. Then I kill myself.

Stacie, I'm with you. I even brought flowers home a few weeks ago. But that doesn't mean I can just ignore certain days. My wife sometimes says she doesn't care about stuff like that, but after all these years I know better.

flowers should be sent anytime of the year and to whomever is deserving!

Well, I should've been outraged and sad, but I'm too busy laughing. Why are these companies so clueless?
