kengrWish someonre had reminded me of this so I could post it before yesterday.
Do not *ever* wish someone a Happy Mother's Day or Happy Fathers Day unless you know for a fact that they have kids.
Why? I just read a post about an infertile woman who lost it when some well meaning idiot wished her a happy mother's day...
These two holidays are ones that you *really* need to be careful about because they are very triggery for a lot of folks.
And frankly, why are you saying that sort of thing to strangers anyway? It's not polite, it's *intrusive*.
