I don't buy in to this whole "we owe our parents everything" thing. Not as an argument per se'.
Not a single one of us asked to be born: our parents made that decision for us. The least they can do, at that point, is clothe feed and protect us until we are able to do so ourselves. I believe we owe our parents the respect they show us, no more or less. As the Tuscans say: L'hai voluta la bicicletta, e ora pedali (look it up).
For the record: my parents pretty much agree with this view.
Mother's day is a little like Valentine's Day in my book.
It also just so happens that I picked my parents very wisely and they are two of my best friends.
Mom: may every Sunday bring you an ice cream, a Campari and a smile.
