Unless you're in the UK in which case it was the 15th March and you've already done it (or already missed it)

Or you're in any timezone significantly ahead of the US (so like over 40% of the world's population). It's already 11.35pm here in India, and most moms (and reasonable adults) are already asleep. China/SE Asia/Jp etc are even further ahead.

Better luck next year... I guess?

And if you’re French, don’t worry, you didn’t miss it.

It’s the 31st of May

Yeah I learned that today! I wonder what's the reason behind the difference.

		In the UK (and a few other places) it’s “Mothering Sunday”, the day you honour the church where you were baptised, or your mother church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothering_Sunday

Fourth Sunday in Lent or something, very easy to forget it!

		Yes, it pre-dates the gift card (and gift) industry. I seem to recall being told it was to allow servants to go home to see their mothers. See how vaguely I framed that.

If you’re American living in the UK you get double the number of weekends freaking out thinking you missed it. Those signs go up in February…
