Do I Have to Acknowledge Every Mom I Know This Mother’s Day?

For Close Friends and Family

A thoughtful card is a great idea for close friends and family on Mother’s Day. It is not expected, or customary, to buy a gift for someone who is not your own mother.

Do not feel bad if your friends or family give you something for Mother’s Day.

You are a good mom that works hard for your family, and if someone wants to go above and beyond to let you know that you should let them, without feeling guilty.
