Ecards And Mums Don’t Mix

Aren’t ecards great? Who really bothers to send real cards now through the post?

Mums, that’s who. And they expect the same in return.

Mums would be horribly offended to receive ecards on Mother’s Day. They would deliberately not check their emails that day, especially if they suspected that you may have sent them an ecard.

This is because mums feel that you should feel incredibly indebted to them; they gave you life ergo you should be eternally grateful.

This is fine and fair enough really, but it depends on how you feel about life. Sometimes, some people feel like it would have been easier and better if they had never been born, and on this day must feel pretty resentful. But that’s not really their mum’s fault; things can go either way before you are born.

You can be born a talented fitty that oozes charm and sophistication, or you could be an introverted wreck, aesthetically challenged and angry at the world. The latter people must wish they could just send ecards and be done with it on Mother’s Day.

But mums are brilliant and great to have around. The only person I truly rely on and trust is my mum, and amongst all the pretenders with ulterior motives, my mum’s the only person I know truly cares about me and wants the best for me.
