Happy International Womens day!!!!!

I think I must have said this millions of times, but I don't really like "Mother's day" (celebrated in the UK on the fourth Sunday in Lent ) , the holiday has a problem by definition - What about women who lost their mothers or their children? "Mother's" day may not be the happiest time for these women. But this doesn't stop me from greatly enjoying the presents my daughter gives me every year for Mothers day, I love presents.

But International Womens day!! I love it! Let's unite, celebrate each other and think what we can personally do to help displaced women (this year's attention point).

Happy International Womens Day, everyone!!!!!! ** big hugs **

Happy Women's Day back to you, dear ♥!

I only considered this to be Mother's Day when I was a kid; since I entered my teen years I assumed it was dedicated to all women, which of course allowed me to get present as well ;D. But even as smaller children, boys used to give us girls little presents (if they liked us enough >.>)!

Do you mean 8th of March? Yes, usually this one is for ALL women, young and old.

Or "on the fourth Sunday in Lent" - a separate holiday we have here in th UK, which is specifically called MOTHERS day , when children give presents to their mothers (and only mothers, well, sometimes grandmothers too, but never to just a girl next door). I am not sure I like this one..
