In general, I am against making up phony social obligations for the purposes of money transfer.
Mother’s Day is coming up. It’s a phony social obligation to get people to spend money on gifts for their Mom.
The ones that are actually traditions with a reasonable basis: Christmas and Weddings and birthdays (for kids only) are great.
Stop making up new reasons to obligate money to change hands. We’ll be generous if we’re generous. Stop asking. And certainly stop demanding.
