Well, as someone who has no children(and has no plans to ever have them) I have no issue with it being a day only for mothers. And I would think that most people wouldn't care that much about the day if they lost their mother unless they were quite young when they lost her. Or perhaps if they were born without parents. Because unless we go first, all of us will lose our mother at some point!
I think who the day would really affect are women who have lost children. Especially if their family made a big deal about Mother's Day.
I feel bad for the daddies on Father's Day because Mother's Day is a HUGE day here, more mail is sent for it than Christmas! But Father's Day? It's almost an afterthought for some! I mean the card companies make a big deal about it but if you forget to get your dad a gift for Father's Day it's not a big issue. But your mom? That can be a big deal.;)
