Who hates days like V-Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day...

yep. present.

as a father I also hate them all

I hate all gift holidays except Christmas. That one is pretty ridiculous as well.

Cards and gifts

I'll never understand cards, complete marketing gimmick

Gifts for adults? Why?

I'd rather cook for you or take you out, done

Doesn't bother me. It's usually a good opportunity for my entire family to get together and bbq and/or listen to LSU baseball

i dont let days of the week get me mad

This. Such BS.

I disagree. We should appreciate our loved ones everyday, but I believe there needs to be special recognition on some days. To each his own, but I feel some people really just seem to inconvenienced by having to take time out of their life to plan events around these occasions. Mothers are inconvenienced all the time. If I only have to go out of my way once in a while to show appreciation then I should be happy to do it.

fricking hate esp when you're now supposed to get shite for other categories of people for them.

The lady who created Mothers Day grew to hate it.....

The commercialization of the American holiday began very early, and only nine years after the first official Mother's Day had become so rampant that Anna Jarvis herself became a major opponent of what the holiday had become,[26][27] spending all her inheritance and the rest of her life fighting what she saw as an abuse of the celebration.[26] She decried the practice of purchasing greeting cards, which she saw as a sign of being too lazy to write a personal letter. She was arrested in 1948 for disturbing the peace while protesting against the commercialization of Mother's Day, and she finally said that she "...wished she would have never started the day because it became so out of control ..."[27] She died later that year.
