- As we’ve seen in our current society, women aren't valued in the slightest by our government and the far left. The latest example of this is the way people have been talking about Mother’s Day.

Mother's day ISN'T for everyone, you're right. It's for Mothers.
Biologically mothers yes! Not trans people who think there female lol
That's sexist
literally the point of the video, i’m so tired of these low effort top comments on brett’s video
@@theenchiladakid1866LMAO
But what if your pets see you as a mom? People call their pets fur babies all the time.
Mother's day is for:
-Mothers
-Grandmothers
-A female who's taken the role of the mother for a child (adoptive mom,foster mom,Step-mothers, etc)
(Jusy to clarify, just bc someone has an adoptive mom, doesn't mean they aren't their mother)
Honestly, this applies to the single fathers that fulfills the role of mother.
@@FallenAngelHiroko Uh no? I said a *female* who's taken responsibility for the child
@@FallenAngelHiroko Fathers cannot fulfil the role of mother.
@@FallenAngelHiroko that's called Father's day.
@@helios7706yes they can? They just can't be an actual mother.
A single parent can take on the roles of what a mother or father would stereotypically be, it just doesn't make them a mother (if they are a man), or a father (if they are a woman). Besides breastfeeding, a man can provide both discipline and emotional support
This is such a slap in the face to mothers who have been through hell for their kids and sacrificed so much for us. Mother’s Day isn’t a day for narcissists it’s a day for truly selfless women.
There are many narcissistic mothers.
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm something tells me their kids don’t celebrate Mother’s Day and that wasn’t even my point dude.
Mothers are the most selfish people out there.
@@royalprincess2678you’re joking right?
@@royalprincess2678 how so?
7:35 I am a single father. When people give me the “happy Mother’s Day” I thank them but tell them I am her father…she has a mother regardless of how much time she spends with her. Same for Father’s Day, single moms shouldn’t get “happy Father’s Day” in June either.
👏🏻👏🏻Agreed
Yes.😉👌🏻👏🏻
As a single mom I feel the same. I do the work of two parents but that doesn’t mean I actually am two parents. I’m incapable of being a positive male role model because I’m not male. Luckily my son has multiple amazing male role models from my family that adore him
@@emilyc245 I totally agree. There are some things we just will not be able to do and we have to rely on others to fill in those areas. “It takes a village” after all.
im a single childless man who keeps an aquarium. where's MY day, dammit?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
What fish (babies) do you have living in your home Fin-Daddy? 🙂
My best guess is that your day happens whenever the aquarium/fish store has a sale? 35% off for Flounder's Day.
Sounds like every day is your day my guy. Enjoy it
if i was a woman trying to become a mom but couldn't, I would be mad somebody saying they should be celebrated for CHOOSING NOT TO BE A MOM
I would agree that you should consider people you know of who want to be a mom but aren't on mothers day, kind of for the same reason we should consider people who have lost their mom, but yea if you CHOSE NOT to be a mom... it just makes no sense.
It's definitely stupid. If everyone who is a potential mother had to be celebrated, then it would basically become Women's Day.
Even if a woman tried harder than any other woman ever did to be a mother, but wasn’t able to, Mother’s Day is NOT for that childless woman. It’s for mothers, no one else.
YES. As someone who was supposed to be pregnant this mother's day and then was not. it was hard to be dealing with the loss while seeing mother's day posts for "dog Moms" and those that chose to abort😵💫
I've been trying to conceive for 2 years. I have 2 cats and a dog. I'm NOT a mom. It's so upsetting to see this crap. I wait in such anticipation for the first year I have a baby in my arms and get to celebrate. These girls make me so mad.
I guarantee, the people saying "Everyone who claims to be a mom, should be celebrated on Mother's Day" were the same ones that screamed and yelled at people who said "All Lives Matter".
And also the people that were saying Hollywood needs to be more inclusive 😂
All lives matter is a retort to Black Lives Matter. To me, ALL LIVES MATTER.
Some people who said All Lives Matter would now say... Except Palestinian Lives. There are hypocrites on BOTH sides.
Um... no? Unless they twisted the "All Lives Matter", a brief response pushing back against the "Only Black Lives Matter" crap that BLM started devolving into a bit ago. Haven't heard it in an awful long time, and Mothers day should only be celebrated by mothers, not pet owners and plant growers.
@@JO-qn8gy Not all Palestinian lives. Those glorifying and getting off on the r*** and mutilation of hostages, cowering behind patients in hospitals do not deserve the mercy Israel is giving. As proved by actual combat reports from independent reporters, Hamas reports of civilian casualties was extremely forged, or Israel managed to completely erase the existence of over 90 percent of casualties. Was actually shocked after 30 years of their wars they chose to be as careful as possible this time around, despite the Oct 7th massacre... guess its cause the entire world is watching this time around.
I'm a godmother, a very active one in the littles lives too. I don't even think I qualify for recognition for mothers day. Why in the world would plant "moms" be acceptable??! Completely agree with you
Edit - My Godkids do something small for me on Mother's day because they want to. Just as they do something small on for their Goddad on Father's day. In the US, we have Godparents Day in June. That's the day we tend to get thanked and they do something big for us (with their parents pushing them to do more lol)
Exactly I'm an active aunt and godmother mothers day is not for me
I found out there is an Aunt Day in August! I try to remember my sister and do something for her. She is very active in my kids lives, and they love her so much. She is unable to have children of her own. Much love to you both for being there for these children! ❤❤❤
@@krystalanderson3205I sent my sisters Mother’s Day cards from my kids because they are like second moms to them- they are not moms, but it’s not by choice, it’s just circumstances beyond their control. They didn’t expect them or feel they “deserved” them, but they appreciated them. Same with my friend who is my kid’s godmother- she isn’t a mom, but not by choice. So I think it just all depends on the situation and relationship.
now see... if my son's had Godmother's, that were active in their lives... you are one that I WOULD celebrate on Mother's Day. But that's just me.
I celebrate all you do for those little ones, you are great!
I am childless for medical reasons. It breaks my heart because I always wanted kids. People tried to wish me Happy Mother's Day because I have 2 cats. And while, yes, my cats are pretty much getting all of the displaced maternal affection I cannot bestow upon a human child, I do NOT consider myself a mom and I respectfully declined to be acknowledged as such.
My deepest condolences...
I know how hard it is to wish for children, and they are out of reach. I will pray you that God will give you peace in your heart, and helps you carry whatever cross He puts on your shoulders
@@MrsYasha1984 ❤
I feel sorry for you and hope you at least live a happy life
Same, I cannot bear children and I own a dog. I told everyone including my MIL to not thank me a happy Mother’s Day because my dog is a dog and not a child. It’d be nice to have one but I accept the fact that I can’t and that day is not my day. My dog is a great pet but she is not my child!
@@smbd1234 Thank you! I have a wonderful husband and a good life. Though I'd love children, I am happy and grateful for what I have. ☺
What bothers me is come Father's day, I see people posting Happy Father's day Mom.
it's funny how single moms often celebrate Father's Day too but you never hear a single father celebrating Mother's Day
@@rockero1313That’s what I’m saying. It’s like *everybody* has been brainwashed in our society. It’s sickening having to grow up in this society as well. Wish I could’ve been born in the early 2000s or late 1990s.
@@digitalsnowangel Sadly the year you were born doesn't seem to make a difference in whether you can catch the mind virus of today's society. I was born in the year 1990 and I know plenty of people my age who think like this, and much worse. I will agree with you though, the 90's were a much simpler time, the way I remember it at least.
Alright, alright. I think I have it now. Mother's Day is for:
1. Women who are actually mothers
2. Women who have pets/plants and identify those pets/plants as children (totally logical and scientifically plausible, of course)
3. Women who have no pets, plants, or actual children but feel left out
4. Men too, because heck, why not?
5. Oh, and while we're at it, how about undersea plankton? Where's their appreciation you guys??
Please tell me you're joking
@@KaciPayne-nj8wb haha it's sarcasm my bro! If I really believed all that, you would have full permission to take me to a mental institution ;)
@@lwood7901 lol okay, thanks for specifying cause I suck at reading sarcasm
oh yes and also planet mercury! that dear soul never gets any credit. happy late mother's day mercury 😎
Aw dude you forgot about pianos! We need to show them more love
I realized why there was a Mother’s Day last year when I had my newborn colicky son and I had to sleep next to him on his hard bedroom floor, waking up every 30 mins for a 6 hour sleep. In that moment I felt such thankfulness for all my own mother’s sacrifices.
He sleeps now and I’ll never take sleep for granted again lol
And these hypocrites will be the first ones to outrage if someone says "Happy mother's day to a father who has taken on a motherly role to care for his kids."
As a women who has lost a pregnancy. Mothers day was hard for me. I felt forgotten about. I am still a mother, a childless mother. I still carried my son for 3 months, and I would be giving birth to him in a couple of weeks if I hadn't miscarried. My mother did however take me out to lunch and is the only one who acknowledged me as a mother.
That said it drives me crazy seeing people who have pets or plants calling themselves moms. I have two cats and I love them and I differently put my desire to be a mother onto them but its not the same as being a mother.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
God bless you... This must have been extremely hard....I even cried a little when I read your post...I feel you...
I feel you, mama. My spouse, best friend, and MIL always made an effort to make me feel seen on mother's day and around her birthday (she was stillborn at 26 weeks). The hardest part for me was how quiet people would get when you'd say you lost a child. It was 26 weeks of my life! And I held her even though she never took a breath. It's been 5 years for me (and after 4 years we finally had our rainbow baby). It does get easier, but I can't just forget this baby I carried. I know it's different, but know you're not alone (if you live near an NILMDTS walk, they are great for connection and healing)
Happy Mother's Day, Mama. I pray for your healing! ❤
I love how whoever posted this went to the extent to include “women who have chosen not to be mothers” and not “mothers who have lost their babies to miscarriage, and therefore still appear to be childless.” 🙄
I hope you know you’re as much of a mom as the woman in the grocery store with 2+ kids. Though your experience looks different, you still know what it’s like to care for your child, sacrifice for them, and want the best for them. Nobody can take that away from you. I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
@crownedlily I’m in the same boat as you. I would’ve been six months rn with our first, so Mother’s Day was incredibly hard here, too. You are 100% still a mother. I firmly believe you become a mother the moment you find out you’re pregnant. Hugs to you for this hard time 🫂🫂🫂
I jokingly say I am a dog mom and my friends got me a dog mom mug, but I do not believe I am an actual mother, so Mother's Day is not for me nor do I think it should be for me.
Yeah I jokingly call myself a cat mom but I don’t dare celebrate myself on Mother’s day.
Caring and loving a cat or a dog is different than raising humans!
As a multi-pet owner (and plants too!), the thought never even crossed my mind to celebrate myself or expect celebration on Mother's Day.
(However, there's a likelihood that I might get to celebrate next Mother's Day! 😁🥰 )
What is happening to sanity?
@@LowBMIVoice if you’re implying you’re pregnant… congratulations!
I’m definitely a cat mum and make my cats give me extra cuddles on mother’s day but any excuse for extra cuddles will do lol. I’m not an actual mum nor do I want to be nor do I want to be a mother figure to anyone.
Me too, I joke about it with my other “dog/cat mom” friends but I’d never say that in front of an actual mom. My cousin had a baby in December, she’s a mom now. I’m not! It doesn’t hurt my feelings to not be included in Mother’s Day because I’m not a mom!
I have 2 children now and just had my son via emergency c-section 6 days ago and 20 days earlier than he was planned. He had wrapped his cord around his throat twice and I almost lost him, having to make the fastest decision of my life to have him taken out instead of me pushing him into this world like I had planned. I am now recovering from that painful surgery while still breastfeeding, trying to get back to a sense of normal and taking care of myself. My life went from 0 to 100 in literally hours to save my sons life. So please, explain to me how someone who bought a dog from the pound is the same as me and millions of other women who brought life into this world... because it just doesn't make sense to me. I try to understand others from their points of view, but this one just pisses me off.
My mom had 12 kids. the last 3 were by c-section. She's fifty, and still raising kids under 10. Apparently on the same level as a man who injects estrogen into himself and nurses an unfortunate orphan once in "her" life.
As a man I choose to not be a mother and such should be honored because I don’t want to be a mom
Edit: to clarify before I get canceled, I am making fun of them and would love to be a father
Dylan Mulvaney says that he will become pregnant & become a mother.
Can I be celebrated on Mother's Day because I adopted a couple kids in my Skyrim playthrough? I repelled a bandit raid and killed a dragon to protect those kids for Talos' sake!
@@internetcatfish if I am being honored, I see no reason why you can’t as well
lol!!! love the satirical concept!!!
@@DavidZ4-gg3dmcan’t wait for some doctor to break the news that they can’t.
I was raised by a single father and he's always told me that even when he has tried to make my brother and I never feel that empty place, he is not a mom and dad, just a dad because he cannot accomplish a woman's role. On the other hand, my mom left when I was 12 after being a toxic person for my home, I have no contact with her and I wouldn't consider to celebrate her on mother's day because she decided not to be one, I do that with my grandma from my dad's side of the family because she has been here for us unconditionally. Some people have really unhinged and out of place thoughts and ideas these days, mother's day is for people that accomplish their roles, wether if they birthed a child or decided to take care of one as if they did, not for every woman that exists in this world.
What a sad story and what a strong father!
@YvonneHoerde he definitely is! To be honest, it used to be kind of sad while growing up, however, on the bright side, everything that happened helped my family to get more united, get closer to God and, to me and my brother, to value life a bit more and learn a lot about life and growing up as well🙌🏻🙏🏻. We do admire and love our father so much for everything he's done to get us through it 💕
That's tough, and yet ends so beautifully! Thanks for that follow up message with how you're doing these days as a close family.
And yes, we'll said, it's not for every woman on earth. Haha
@jenovapear9629 you're so sweet, thank you so much! 💗
And yes! There are plenty of holidays for other stuff, let moms have their own 🙌🏻.
We don't celebrate everyone on Veterans' Day, only actual veterans. And everyone understands that. If you pretend to be a "veteran" just bc you have PTSD or whatever, it's a form of stolen valor and pisses EVERYONE off. We should treat Mother's Day the same way; anyone claiming to be some kind of mom who doesn't have children is guilty of stolen valor.
Better watch out. It was only 4 years ago that woman claimed her and her group were vets in front of soldier. Because they have been opposing Trump or whatever.
Maybe too specific an example, but during WW2 in Britain there were 2 (or 3) main places you were sent to when conscripted (or “drafted” in the US”) some went into the army and some were sent down the pit to dig the coal that kept the country running. The miners (Bevin’ boys they were called) felt a huge amount of shame because you don’t get medals for digging coal. The lad who gets sent to supply and spends the war handing out socks does get them though. I understand your point but it’s not as cut and dry as you suggest
What is a whamen?
@@skorzalonsdale4426 Good point. However, if you have served in the military in any capacity including mining and have retired from active duty, you are a veteran. There are combat veterans, and other veterans as well. We celebrate them all on Veterans Day (US). But I'm talking about if someone were to claim to be a "veteran" of something that isn't military service, like if they went through some trauma, or something like the "war on Christmas," "war on poverty," "war on women," etc and wanted to be recognized on Veterans Day. Or if someone were to say "we need to acknowledge them too." Everyone knows that's ridiculous, but somehow we don't have that same attitude on Mother's Day. Thanks for the info though; I love learning!
@@royalemeraldbuilder5058 I get it man, I understand what you were getting at and do agree with you.
Even though it was 60 years ago there’s still a memory over here in Britain that during the war everyone did their bit. Whether you had a rifle, a plough, a pick or a rolling pin everyone was in it together, so “veteran” has a slightly different meaning over here. It’s getting less and less as we’ve moved towards a more generally peacetime population and a professional army, but the general feeling that we’re all in this together and everyone’s doing their bit is still just about limping on. It’s on life support, but I think it’s still barely there.
Not even so much the Bevin boys (they were usually miners to start with and in a pit village deaths are everywhere, I’m only in my 30s but I still grew up around a few slightly older lads who lost their dad down the pit, and dozens who’s dads were slowly dying for lung conditions or just having ruined their bodies), but I think (and i could be wrong, but even if I am it’s close) the merchant navy in WW2 had 2 or 3 times the casualty rate of the Royal Navy sailors in WW2. And they weren’t entitled to any medals or a fancy uniform or anything until about 15 years ago, by which time most of them weren’t here any more.
I could have gone my entire life without knowing the term 'paw-rent' existed. 😅😅😅
At my church they hand out roses on Mother's day. Our PRIEST'S WIFE (very well-respected as a mother in our parish) handed me a rose, as a sort of second mother to my little siblings. I wasn't fully comfortable being given such honor, so I shared the flower with my little sister, who also helps with my brother a lot. Godmothers and spiritual mothers are deserving of honor, but NOT people who have no maternal position or CHILD that they care for.
Our baby is only 3 months old so she cannot do much for Mother's Day, yet.
Happy Mother's day! (Whoops! Sorry about that, guess I assumed... tell your wife, uh.... some theoretical person online said Happy Mother's day.)
You are worthy of being celebrated!! Newborn life is rough time, praying for you ❤
@@xoxellerose Thanks. I pass on the praise to my wife. As a father I'm trying to be my best as well, of course.

Mother's Day is by definition is for Women who have and are raising children either their own or adopted. No one else need apply. Father's Day is for us Men.
Mother's Day, as intended by its creator, Anna Jarvis, was a day for *your* mom or you as a mom. That's why it's Mother'S Day and not MotherS' Day -- singular, not plural. She became disillusioned at the end of her life about what the day had become. It's meant to be a personal, not a collective, day.
Old 'mother' definition' "Diligently and lovenly raise childern you adopted or gave birth to"
New 'mother' definition' " Have a fern"
And for pregnant mothers, they should be celebrated too.
@@juliarose7832 I'm in on that.
1:59 That infographic left off perhaps the group having it the hardest: anyone who WAS a mom, as in, had to bury her kids.
Happy Mother's Day to those ladies.
I experienced stuff like this firsthand. I’m on the activity committee and when Mother’s Day was brought up, they discussed hand delivering flowers to all the mothers, which is what they do every year. Then the head of HR said that it would be offensive to women who didn’t have children and not fair. After lots of debate we settled on putting flowers at the front desk for anyone to grab one. This was my first Mother’s Day celebration at work and it amounted to moms not being celebrated. When Father’s Day was brought up at the next meeting, everyone wanted to go big for the dads and do raffle baskets and prizes. Not one person said “but what about the men who couldn’t be dads?” Theres such a double standard and it’s sad 😢
I’ve been a nanny for 10 years and was utterly shocked at the response I got when wishing my boss a Happy Mother’s Day!
She started to thank me for all that I do for her family, no one has ever acknowledged me this way on Mother’s Day and it made me tear up. I know they are not my children, but I love those children and care for them as if they were my own… I sacrifice a lot for them. But yes, I am well aware that I am NOT a mother.
I also have a dog, and my uncle wished me a happy Mother’s day…. I was actually offended 😂 Im a dog OWNER.
There is a nanny recognition week in September.
@@kristinazubic9669 Never heard of it or had it celebrated!
dogs are children in LA
Who was genuinely surprised that having plants or pets doesn’t make you a mother?
Plants don’t count. You’re just being nice to the earth god created
JUST having kids don't make you a mother neither.
🤨
If you were genuinely surprised, you should be genuinely ashamed of yourself
I don't get the plant thing but one can give Motherly love to animals. I am sadly not a human Mom-NOT BY CHOICE but am very loving to animals. MY Mom & sister are both happily married to great men, both Moms of people & are loving Moms to animals too. Why is that wrong?
@@joylindadichamounix because they are not their pets’ mom. They are their owners, or more gently put their caregivers. To put it simply, if caught between the child or the pet, you pick the child. Like if the dog bites the child, that dog should be gone. We don’t rehome our kids.
When I was leaving the service at my parents' church on Mother's Day, they were giving out flowers to all the mothers. They tried to give me one even though I very obviously am not pregnant nor do my husband and I have children yet. I felt so embarrassed, even though I am hoping to be a mother by next Mother's Day. Titles have meaning!
And some titles are exclusive. They can cry all they want, but it doesn't change reality.
All the best to you for next Mother's Day.

I think this is indicative of a bigger issue. There are many men and women that would love to be married and have children, but we have a crisis where no one is dating and therefore not getting married.
Please talk about the Harrison Butker situation! He’s right and he knows it! It’s so cool to me that he’ll say what he believes and not fear what the modern public and media think or say.
It makes me so irritated when people compare being a mom to children to being a mom to animals. Dogs do not grow up and break your heart, you don't lose sleep worrying for years and years about their friend choices, grades, bad decisions, pray over them for years and years about their futures and everything else (there is not enough room here to list all the differences . We are NOT the same!
Exactly! They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
You're right, having a pet is worse. They can die because of firework, disease, hunger... They break our hearts when they die cuz they live just for 10/15 years. They need their vaccines and many other things. You having a kid is just plain selfish.
No one becomes a parent for those reasons they are the down side, their dogs are seraget
the comparison is not the same,
Do you mean "surrogate"?
@@royalprincess2678if your dog dies yes ur sad for a short time... but if ur child dies u are destroyed for life and lucky if u can resume a normal life again.

As a stay-at-home mother of two children under four, THANK YOU! I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my man and my children, and I felt so loved and appreciated. I did not have to seek out that love, appreciation or validation for celebration on the internet because I have it right here at home. Those people are empty and hateful and want to feel included in something so badly without ever doing the hard work that goes along with it. Thank you, Brett!!! As always, a great video.
no your empty and hateful
Being a "mom" to plants and dogs doesn't make you a viable candidate for, or entitlement to the respect that comes to mothers who are having children.
No one thinks it gives you the same respect. Literally no one, not even those who call themselves plant moms or dog moms. It's usually said in a joking way.
@@simfimpimThey seem rather serious about it based on their reaction to being told they aren’t actually mothers.

So true!
@@r5t6y7u8 very true! Everybody does to an extent. I’d be amiss if I didn’t include myself in that from time to time. It’s unfortunately part of our culture now. But “who hurt you” is just so incredibly low of any thought or effort that I can’t take anything else they say seriously. Brett included as she has said it at least once and I clicked right out of the video.
But you are clearly hurt. Why else would you react that way?
@@Dave_of_Mordor what have you said that is hurtful?
Mothers day is for the following people: Moms (biological & adoptive) grandmas, and women who have lost children through miscarriage or still birth. Other than that I agree with Brett Cooper, its absurb.
Also women who step up to support, teach, model womanhood, love, and nurture children and their mothers. Bonus Moms are real and necessary.
@@kaytlinmangelson6673 absolutely agree 💯. The ones who made the choice to not have children or abort children, you chose not to be a mother so quit appropriating.
If you lose babies you aren't a mother lmao you didn't get a chance to be a mother. Flat out.
@@JustKelso1993 Why the f*** would you say something so mean? Women who've lost children ARE very much mothers, unless you are one of those people who think unborn childrens' lives do not matter, in which case I believe you are on the wrong channel. Life begins at conception, embryo's are children (not a "clump of cells" as libs claim) and therefore the women who carried them are very much mothers! Also why "lmao"?! There is absolutely nothing funny about miscarriages and stillbirths, what is wrong you?!
10:20 I legitimately paused stirring my noodles and looked over to my phone because I was so surprised at the *passion* in your voice! That properly pissed you off, didn’t it?
US TOO!!! Go OFF girlfriend!!! Say it louder for all of us!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I got a text from my dogs CBD oil and supplements company saying “celebrate dog moms this weekend” and it’s the one time I’ve actually wanted to contact a company and say please don’t. This type of thing should just be a no straight out of the gate. Plus some of us do not want to be reminded that we’re in our mid 30s (have been dating for marriage for almost 10 years now) and are sadly still unmarried without kids. This is the type of advertising that is actually triggering to those of us it hasn’t happened for yet.

Thank you!!!!
From those of us who have had to deal with women who say things like "Oh, you're a mom? Well, I'm a dog mom! Mom twins!"
It's almost as if reality is not an option for them. And some of us don't have the patience to kindly explain it 😅
Some of us don't have the patience for your constant mommyjacking and reason why you need to leaves work early or have more time with kids when there is break of some kind.
It's one thing for people to call their pets their fur babies But including childless women with pets in Mothers Day is RIDICULOUS
I am a woman and I don't have kids. I am not a mother. I respect REAL mothers and I understand that and all people should understand that. My mom had 7 kids. She is a mother. Happy Mother's Day to all REAL mothers. ❤
“Log off and touch grass” that’s my favorite and I’m keeping that thank you 🤣
yes this is so true! I am a new mom and I'm so grateful that you are talking about this
Ty for saying it out loud
JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE A CAREGIVER OR NURTURER DOES NOT MEAN YOU’RE A MOTHER🗣️🗣️🗣️
It’s like comparing a rectangle to a square
This was the first year I was able to celebrate Mother’s Day with all my children, four grandchildren, with two more grands coming this year. Life is good.
Me and my partner struggled to have kids. We love our dog to bits and would make Mother’s and Father’s Day a thing where we gave each other presents “from the dog”. It was just a bit of fun and an excuse to buy her fancy flowers and room diffusers, and her to buy me video games and and other stuff we enjoy but don’t really need.
Celebrating parent’s holidays “on behalf of” the dog was just an excuse for us to treat each other to something a little special.
We’ve since been lucky enough to have a son, but I wouldn’t jump to judgement of someone “celebrating” the day because of their dog (or even plant). A lot of the time it doesn’t come from a good place. And at least they care enough to consider motherhood something that should be celebrated.
The idea of "cultural appropriation" is that, in their minds, one person is trying to "take something for one's own use, usually without the other's permission" without the lived experience and hardships said culture is said to have. And here, you have a title earned through great self sacrifice, endless labor in teaching, modeling, and correcting, many tears and making oneself vulnerable, often with the pain of loss and regret, and all else that goes into raising sinful little human beings into productive members of society and redeemed image bearers of God. To "appropriate" that hard earned privilege and honor and stamp it onto merely owning a plant or a pet is the genuine evil they're trying to avoid with so-called cultural appropriation. Not even many parents so-called out there have earned the title of Mom, because they lack the endurance, integrity, and commitment it takes to be one. It takes the kind of sacrifice only better exemplified by a God-man dying for rebel sons and daughters.
🔥 Preach, Brett! As a mother, I get SO infuriated when self-proclaimed 'dog-moms' pat themselves on the back on Mother's Day. And then I feel like the bad guy; like I'm looking down on them. But ya know what- I had dogs before I had kids... it's f****** different. 🙄
Hello everybody, I love brett's content and i truly believe more people should listen to it. My first language is not english, is spanish, and i have friends and family i know would love to watch her videos but don't understand since its in english.... I've had this idea for a while and i would like to know if anyone would like this... I would like to translate her videos so that people who don't know english can watch them too. if this reaches brett's team, Thank you so much for speaking up, you'll are such a great hope and example for this and the next generation. Love from Colombia.
I have tried to conceive and have not been able to. Mother’s Day is difficult. I get your point. But my husband does do something for me on Mother’s Day from the pups.
As the mother of a baby that I will never get to hold, I think that this is really okay and really sweet. I think the difference is that your husband knows that you really desire to be a mom and wants to honor you and make you feel loved on a day that is hard and that's totally different than going to the Internet to seek validation
The “dog mom” and “cat mom” doesn’t really bother me, because I know people who were not able to have children, and that’s why they have a cat or dog. That I understand, and I think it’s a different situation than people who publicly acknowledge they choose not to have kids because they’d *rather* have a dog. And “plant mom” is just beyond me.
@@EpoRose1 I think the problem is that it feels like everyone counts at this point so it should just be a day to celebrate all women but we literally already have international women's day. And by including everyone we are slowly making the day meaningless. I don't have a problem with people thinking about those who are essentially pet parents because of fertility struggles but it's a bit insensitive to (publicly) equate that with motherhood on mother's day
You have the willingness and heart to be a mom. Both my daughters have two babies in heaven because of miscarriages. Don’t give up hope.
As a woman who has been trying with my hubby for over 5 years to conceive. FINALLY conceived last august but lost the baby a week after testing. This Mother’s Day was one of the hardest days to celebrate because our baby should have been due on may 3rd. I expected to be holding a newborn and I only had air to hold. My husband did wish me a happy Mother’s Day not only for our unborn child but also because I do have animals that are very much like children to me. Although most of my animals will go to freezer camp but I treat them all well. Either way yes not everyone should celebrate this day but i understand why woman without kids would want to celebrate also. Again I am coming from this from the view of a woman who would love to have children but it is not happening.
I'm so glad your husband celebrated you on Mother's Day! You are still a mom to that precious baby! You have a child, just not on this side of eternity. But I deeply understand your longing for children you get to meet and nurture here in this life. I grieve and mourn with you (miscarried my first baby this past February) and pray you will have your rainbow baby soon 🌈🩷
Im so so sorry. SO SO SORRY! I will be praying for you. Just know, you are a mother! You deserve every right of a mother ❤
go adopt little babies and save the world from taking-over-the-world-babies
As another comment above stated you will meet and hold your sweet baby again. Both my daughters had miscarriages twice before carrying to full term, so don’t give up hope. It is nice your husband made that loving gesture for you. Hugs
I couldn't get pregnant for years and i never celebrated it. The day was always hard for me but i realised the truth. Glad i have my son now ❤
Yes Bret! I’ve been saying this for years!!
Same goes for single mothers claiming attention on Father’s Day
Not a hot take. But _apparently,_ a take that some people on the internet need to hear 🤦♀😂
I have three cats, and I adore them and baby them… But they are not my children. That’s silly.
I have three cats and a dog. They’re definitely my fur babies. But at the end of the day, they aren’t my children. My three children will always trump my pets.
I see plenty of people say to not forget single moms, who do everything, on Father's Day.
But, I never see anyone say to not forget single dads, who do everything, on Mother's Day.
I know Mother’s Day for me was hard but still celebrated with my mom and mother in law. My husband hugged me saying it’s ok to cry. Infertility is a hard path to walk on.
Next Veteran's Day, I'd better have you thanking me for my non-service.
thanks for sharing, you inspired me to try something new
My goodness, I love you so much for this Brett!! Bravo and very well said! 👏
As a woman with infertility and did not become a mom as a result, this day can ve very hard. I have pets and I put all my maternal instincts into them, I worry, I spoil, I totally mother them. I am also an RN that cares for others and do all the mother type care. I still dislike being wished a happy mothers day - it rubs salt in if anything.
My mom is a psycho
Is there a woman in your life that you think of as a Mother figure?
Common sense left the room somewhere around 2016
I'm very sorry that you got sick. I could hear the congestion in your voice right away. Get well soon!❤
On Mother’s Day, I became really sick in the middle of the night. I had vomited 7 or 6 times, and my mom stayed in the bathroom with me and comforted me until I was tired and wanted to go back to sleep. And she slept in the same room as me and got up to take care of me whenever I felt sick again. I had felt so bad that I had gotten sick on mother’s day, so I kept telling her sorry, and she said, “Don’t be sorry, this is what Mother’s Day is about: taking care of my children. I rather this than anything else in the world.” And it makes me really sad that leftists are trying to make motherhood something else.
Also, the whole thing about “Mother’s Day is for all woman”, that’s like saying my birthday is for everyone turning the same age as me… 🙄
Stuff like Mother's Day and Father's Day is cringe-worthy to me, it's like oh you get one day to love and honor your parents and it's only because your government said so. I feel like loving and honoring my parents 365 days a year.
It's a day to do more than you would normally be able to. It's like a birthday. Like, I'm sure you don't get your mom flowers or take her out to breakfast or dinner every day even if you honor her. It's a day set aside to do more. And honestly, as a momof multiple kids, it's nice to look forward to a day I can get away and have a date with my husband because we rarely get the chance to take dates alone because of money and the fact that he's a truck driver and is gone all week.
God bless you, and your parents
It's not because we don't want to honor mothers and fathers the rest of the year, it's just because sometimes we want to set a day aside to just celebrate them. For example, let's say you go with your mom (or your dad) to help with somebody else's wedding. The day is going to be dedicated to the couple getting married and you probably won't be as focused on your parents as you might some other day because you'll be busy, or maybe you're with them but you probably aren't going to get your parents a giant bouquet of flowers and write them a card about how thankful you are for them. The point is there are some days people just want to be extra special and celebrate one thing. That's not to say you will not respect and spend time with your parents on another day. Sort of like @thisishisbubbles9362 said, it's like a birthday, but a bit different.
Facts I just laugh at all the happy mother's day posts lmao like congratulations for honoring the person who birthed you for one day?
@@lynab7964 But what about the person who raised you? Not to be rude or anything but taking care of children 24/7 is no joke
“Have you ever killed a child before? Well, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!” 🤣
My best friend is 17. She just had a beautiful baby boy. I ugly cried when I finally met him cause she’s my little sister. She not only went through hours of labor but ended up having an emergency c section and lost a quarter of her blood and almost died to bring her boy into the world. That is a mother. Thats a woman that deserves to be celebrated for Mother’s Day. I brought her flowers and a card the day I came to meet him and I’m so fucking proud of her. Mothers are incredible!!!
Mother's day is the day to show your mother how much you appreciate all the work she has put in to raise you. If you didn't do that work and sacrifice you don't deserve anything.
What do they want? They/Them Day? 😂
Yes.
Technically that already exists I’m pretty sure😭😭
Can all of us women js move to Mars and never come back? Bring ur husbands, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling and Christian Bale. Maybe some cats too.
i believe my dog is my child (i’m 16 and i love her stop) but i do NOT expect free stuff from a DOG for mother’s day. Being a mother is HARD i would not take that away from other people’s bc they’re honestly so strong i don’t think i could handle being a mum.
Brett rants like my mom...another great video!!!
Hey, Lowes was handing out free plants to "moms" and gave me one because they know I'm a plant mom since I'm in their garden center so often. I'm offended (j/k). I think they just wanted one of the plants to go somewhere that it wouldn't immediately die. My mom died when I was in high school, so Mother's Day has always sucked for me so it did make my day to get a free plant. Plant Moms Unite!
I don't have a problem with those that celebrate Mother's Day and they only have pets...Cause sometimes those people are those that CAN'T have kids! They want them, but medically they can't have them and they don't have the money for adoption. They can take care of kids no problem...but the price of adoption is very expensive! **Note: I am a mother to a 16 year old and I am also a pet mom!
I am someone who has been trying to have a baby for 3 years, I am trying to navigate infertility and keep adoption open but both infertility treatment and adoption are insanely expensive. Thank you for acknowledging us, and from my experience and the other infertile people I know, we don't want to be celebrated for being a dog mom as much as we want to be acknowledged for our struggles to become mothers and fathers, and how this can fit into mothers/fathers day. It does take away from mothers to acknowledge "plant moms", however it takes away nothing to say "we acknowledge the moms fighting for their children everyday, and the women fighting to become mothers everyday". You know? Moms are amazing and women who wish to be moms would gladly fill that role in a heartbeat 💓
nah your pets aren't your kids
@LinkfromTLOZ28 no one here said they were. We were talking about people who can't have kids. You should get your brain checked out as your reading comprehension skills are lacking.
It doesn't matter if said person can't have kids. It's unfortunate but it is what it is, it doesn't make that woman a mom. Having a pet makes a person an owner, even if they desire children and can't have them. They are still childless, and by definition, not a parent.
I could tell Brett was getting over sickness last video! God bless u Brett! Wishing quick recovery ❤️🩹
Mother's Day 2017 i was 8 months pregnant with my first child and i still expected nothing, honored my mom and MIL, and waited for my turn the next year.
I'm a dog mum. I'm also a man (irrelevant). Happy mother's day to me 🥳
Not a mom
Happy mother's day to you I bet ur a better mom than half of the human "mom's" out here
@@lynab7964 If he’s a man he’s not a mom, that role is gender specific and gender independent from sex doesn’t exist. He isn’t a mom unless he is a bio female with human children. It’s that simple. This need for inclusion has cheapened what it means to be a woman and mother, it’s becoming more apparent with reoccurring situations like this. This just goes to show the decline of common sense, empathy, and respect. The breakdown of our society is displaying how narcissistic our society is becoming. Have some empathy for actual mothers. If you are a good doggie dad good for you, just have sensitivity , and brains to know this is not your day.
W Brett cooper
Why are there women who call themselves mothers if they have objects they did not give birth to. Since when did women give birth to plants and animals?
Brett, you are AWESOME! Keep telling the truth!!! XO and God Bless
I agree, but I think people, especially those on the right, do not understand, or want to understand, how their words affect involuntarily childless women. I CANNOT have children, and I have been judged, berated, and even condemned for not being able to have children.
Thank you, I completely agree with you. I thought that was very mean-spirited of Brett when she made the remark that people who called themselves pet moms were “delusional”. I was never able to have children. I have a sweet cat and friends call me a “cat mom”. I’ll try to overlook Brett’s nasty remark because she is very young and she has a lot to learn from life.
I am so sorry for what others have said to you.💛 Respectfully, I disagree...as someone who was not supposed to have children, who looked into adoption, who has had miscarriages and has now been blessed to grow, birth (naturally), raise, homeschool (even one who is high-needs) who has also had a dog, cat and fish...this kinda is like if on "Pet Parent Day" (I am sure there is one in the world we live in) your best friend wanted to come over and give you a gift and then was VERY upset that you didn't have a gift to honor them because they bought a pack of post-it notes that they named "Buddy" and occasionally took one out to meetings and such...they invested their money and time into it and they feel like they are a parent to it.
I think you would scoff and be appalled at the comparison.
I know this is not a perfect example, but it feels like it to those who have sacrificed in this way where there are other days for those people to celebrate. ❤
@@doublea6252 I'm confused, what are you disagreeing with me on? I said that I agreed that Mother's Day is for mothers. You disagree with that?
It's always the same people that want everything to be about them 😂😂😂
Despite my mother being deceased for almost 10 years, I still remember her on Mother’s Day, I also praise my sister as she raised 3 kids and two of them are mothers as well because both of her daughters have sons. Mother’s Day is for actual mothers, not pseudo mothers
Mother’s Day in France is celebrated the last Sunday of May. To me it always will be celebrating my mom❤. The definition of a mother I grew up with either it’s adoptive or biological.
And we have a separate day for grandmothers in March as well as for father in June and grandfathers in October (less popular).
I live in Korea and they have children day, parents day and teacher’s day all in May…
WOW !!!!! That was the best rant ever...100% pure logic....I celebrated my wife who is the mother of our 2 boys, we also celebrated her mother who was visiting, who obviously is a grandmother, and called my mom who lives overseas to celebrate her, who is also a grandmother. Who I did not celebrate on that day was my sister, who is not a mother, however I do call her regularly and love our chats and whom I did call and celebrate on Sisters day!!!
BTW Brett best mic drop ending ever....WOW!!!
Why do we have to take away a day for our Moms. We done cherish them enough we should celebrate them everyday.
Last year, my cousin’s ex-husband’s family attacked her on social media on Mother’s Day because her ex-husband transitioned and “it was ‘her’ day too.” This wasn’t her ex doing this. They had agreed that she was the mother and he was the father. Stupid people making themselves feel better about their own goodness by attacking a divorced mother who lost her husband due to circumstances beyond her control.
Hahahah I felt Brett's anger. 🤣🤣🤣
