We've been socially programmed to buy into this shit every year and if we don't spend money on it we look like huge assholes. My mom would unironically be devastated if I didn't buy her a card, flowers and chocolates every year.

What was that $9.00? Mine was $9.00. My gf's was also around $9.00.

They get more expensive every year.

$7 for the card, $25 for the flowers.

Nobody said you have to buy mother's day (tm) branded items to give to your mom. It's about the meaning behind what you're giving, make it something unique

My mom doesn't care about this consumerist imposed festivity.

If your mom does, she is most likely blue pilled and a little bit entitled.
Just treat her well every day, not only one day every year because the society told you so.

mother's day doesn't exist
it is a concept invented by literally hallmark, to sell cards

It is bullshit, but if you have a bluepilled mom then suck it up. You only ever have one mate. Redpilling her on hallmark's scam business model is probably not going to work at this point.

I never actively participated in any holiday. I never buy anything for anyone just because the jews made up a day you're supposed to spend money on stupid shit. No one expects anything from me. You set your own bar too high and now you have to let it down if you want to stop.

My mom is redpilled af, all she expects is a phone call and I call my folks every couple weeks anyways so it's no biggie. If I got her chocolates and shit she'd actually be annoyed that I was buying into the hallmark scam.

It's such an NPC red flag to be into hallmark holidays. They are obviously, transparently, blatantly just marketing schemes to get you to buy shit. Nobody even denies it. But because the holidays have been inextricably linked with these normie sacred cows like "love your parents", they just go along with it. They would rather buy into the scam than be shunned by their peers.

OP checking in. Aside from the gifts we went to the movies and got lunch. Dropped about $175 on mama today total. She was really happy so I guess it was worth it. It's still so frustrating that I work my ass off just to be expected to throw it away on stupid shit. I'm trying to accumulate crypto so I can actually pay off her mortgage in a few years.
