I don't know if it's commercialization as much as Mother's Day is slowly starting to fall into the same category that Valentine's Day and Earth Day fall into. That being the one day where you're suppose to do something you should do everyday. Now for me I live with my mom and stepdad again after 3 years of being on my own so I can go to school, so I'm extremely grateful for not having to pay rent, laundry, buy food etc. Not everyone has this same situation, but still I mean... a call every now and then won't kill you. The second Sunday of May shouldn't be the only day you tell your mom that you love them just like February 14th shouldn't be the ONLY day you tell your boyfriend or girlfriend or husband or wife that you love them and just like April 22nd shouldn't be the only day you care about the planet.
