Guys ,I wanna know that how many of you think that we seriously need a day to show our love, care and affection to our dear parents. Though, days like Mothers day and fathers day have already been introduced and are celebrated nicely around the world , but still I am confused that do we really need a day for giving time and to love our parents. Have we become so much professional and formal that we need a fixed date , day and time to show our emotions that too for our own dear parents.
I seem to disagree with this idea. whats your say , please let me know.

For me, those days such as Mother's Day and Father's Day are just some sort of reminder that we should not forget our parents. Everyday is a day that we should show our love to our parents and not only during Mother's Day or Father's Day. For me, the best way to manifest love to one's parents is to strive hard and have a really good life sooner or later and should they get old (which they really will be), we, their children, will take really good care of them.
Everyday is Mother's and Father's Day and we should not forget how important they are to our lives. Everyday doesn't have to be so special such as going out for a dinner or doing something but it could be as simple as eating dinner together and talking about plans and strengthening the bond of the family. Parents really love it when they see that their kids are growing up and leads to good lives and sooner or later, start a family of their own. If you're still in school, the best gift that you could give your parents is being serious with your studies and show them good grades. If you're done with school and is starting to earn a living, striving hard, saving for the rainy days, and simply achieving success in one's career makes parents so proud and happy. And of course, becoming grandparents is normally one thing that really makes them so happy provided that the quality of life is good for the baby.
Even our smallest of ways could mean a lot to our parents and we should keep it in mind that everyday is our parent's day. We should make them happy everyday.

Why didnt we ask this when we got holidays on Children's day? :) I think it is nice. While it is true we dont need a day to give love and attention to our parents, it is just a day in addition to their birthday, anniversary, new year, and festivals, that makes them feel special, wanted, and remembered. On normal day, we are not reminded about them, and we may get lost in our routines. But when the day itself is special, we might leave our busy schedule and find time for them. All that they want is love from us, isn't it? :)

Definitely....yes, I think it is not only a day. We need to have a bonding day with our parents. It is a way to show our love to them because we never know when their time comes or our time comes to end. Even though there are bad memories, we need to forgive and forget because they are our parents and they are the reason why we are here on earth and living.

hi, i don't think that we need specific day to show our love towards our parents as we generally love them each and every moment in our life but the specific days like Father's day, mothers day ... can be treated as festival days which we can thank god for giving such a lovely parents isn't?
