mothers day 2023

Be it brands, celebrities, government agencies, or individuals, every year, on the second Sunday of May, Twitter is full of messages about Mother’s Day. Many people take to social media to express their love for their mothers (or maternal figures) and celebrate the unpaid domestic and emotional labour done by them.

Indian Forest officers Parveen Kaswan (@ParveenKaswan) and Susanta Nanda (@susantananda3) tweeted about the unconditional love shown by mothers across species as they shared photos and videos of a female camel and monkey saving their young offspring from elements of nature.

Similarly, Google marked Mother’s Day by sharing an adorable animation showing mothers from the animal kingdom raising kids. While sharing this animation, Google wrote, “Today’s #GoogleDoodle celebrates all mothers! (including the ones with feathers, tentacles, and paws)”.

The Mumbai police highlighted anti-drug and “no drunk driving” messages in their Mother’s Day post.

A video made by Sonia Katri, whose Instagram bio says she is a Punjabi mom who loves to make people laugh, that speaks against the commercialisation of Mother’s Day is also being reshared widely. In the now viral clip, Katri asks children to forgo buying expensive gifts for their mothers and instead participate in household chores and inculcate good habits that will make their mothers truly happy.

Many mothers also took to Twitter to talk about how what they really need on Mother’s Day is things like extra sleep, a respite from the daily drudgery of household chores, and policies that make childcare affordable.
