Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
A Hacker News user posted a reminder that it's Mother's Day, encouraging others to call their mothers. The discussion includes comments about the date varying by country (e.g., Spain celebrates on the first Sunday of May, Latvia on a different date), personal reflections on the holiday's significance (one user shares how their view changed from seeing it as a "Hallmark holiday" to recognizing its importance after having children), and general well-wishes to mothers in the community.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledBefore I got married and had kids I thought it was a dumb Hallmark holiday. Now I think it's really significant and important to have an official day dedicated to recognize all the moms out there.
Happy mother's day to all the moms out there. And all the guys that made them moms :)
Is it always May 10 in the countries where it's now? In Spain is the first Sunday of the month.
