I call my mom very often, but nevertheless, she gets two Mothers' Days every year by virtue of not currently living in the US but having kids who do: I call her on her Mother's Day and mine.

It seems the whole world but us celebrates Mother's day in March.

Fun fact: while most of the world celebrates Mother's Day, very few countries have Father's Day. At least we can do something right :)



Really? In the UK we have both (with the more common March mother's day), and it seems really sad that schools are basically not mentioning father's day any more because of the obvious issues. I didn't know most of the world didn't celebrate it at all though, that's really sad.
