Mother's Day! Father's Day! Why No Uncle's Day? Aunt's Day? Son's Day? Daught...

Actually, it is funny that you suggested this, because my little one is going to do something special for her uncle on Father's Day. No, he is not her father, but she does something special for her grandfather, and her uncle is kind-of like her grandfather in the way that he interacts with her and the things that he does with her. Plus, he does not have children of his own, so she really wanted to do something special for him, and I thought it was a wonderful idea.

I do know that there was a date both for Uncle and Aunt's day. It's July 26. However, it was not popularly known nor the person who initiated that date is not clearly known. However for me, It's great having a special day for our parents or relatives (if there is) but we don't need to have like special day for them. We should show our love for them everyday and make it as their day. They been very important to us and should be appreciated every single day.

Yeah, why not? And then when we've established Son's day, Daughter's day, uncle's day, aunt's day, brother's day, sister's day, grandmother's day, and grandfather's day... we can make cousin's day, niece's day, nephew's day, friend's day, ex-lover's day, family idiot's day... you know what? I think I've figured out why we don't do that. Because we'd be establishing holidays all year round and buying something for someone in the family every day of the year. That's real tiring. Everyone had a mother or a father at some point, not everyone has kids or siblings. I think it's better to have a holiday for the two people who brought us into this world than for every single member of the family.

Well, well. I just responded to your discussion. Very lengthy response, I might add, and it went out into cyberspace somewhere and printed in red, it said 'use only letters, numbers and etc.'. But my response was gone. Anyway, I was saying that probably most of the aunts and uncles were moms and dads also, so their day was covered anyway on those days. But maybe if you can get your concern before the correct people, we can get that covered. I wouldn't mind getting some extra attention myself. Let me know how it goes!

Another solution that you would certainly approve, would be to remove Mother's Day and Father's Day and to create a holiday for a "Family Day" -- it already exists in Canada --.

You pretty have a point on this matter mythociate. It would be more fun to have those days of remembering to all members of the family. I just can't imagine how colorful my calender would be. :)

Your advice is so creative and I love it. We are so busy with our works today and sometimes we will ignore the people who are around us. We shall be appreciated to them and the holiday is the best reminder. I love China

what about the son day?

Hello Mythociate, I don't know why but it goes with the history and we just went along for the ride. the real story behind mother's and father's day was back in the US. i forgot the whole details but i think that it was announced that from that day on, there's going to be a mother's or father's day.

mythociate ..Because there would be no end to it all...

LoL this made me laugh here alone... hopefully my roomies didn't hear me I have the same question. But not about the Uncle's day or AUnt's day. Mine is on Son's or Daughther's day. Why don't we have our own day? Okay sorry I didn't answer your question, instead I asked the same question...

Well that is bordering on ridiculous isn't it? I mean Son's Day and Daughter's Day? EVERY day is son's day and daughters day, especially when the kids are still living at home. Mothers and Fathers spend their entire year, every year, working and earning money to put a roof over their children's heads, food on the table for them to eat, clothes on their child's back, shoes on their child's feet, heat, hydro, electricity, schooling, school supplies etc etc etc. There is no end to the list of things that parents do for their children. Not to mention the worrying and instilling of morals, honesty etc etc etc. Sooo....those who are very grateful and loving set aside a day to acknowledge all that a father or mother do for their children. If the child does not have a parent who does all that for them then they can, and sometimes do, honour an aunt or an uncle on these special days. One who has been like a parent to them. Parents don't need a special son's day or daughter's day to give to their children. It happens every day all year long.
