For those of you that do celebrate in your country, do you include all mothers and fathers or only “active duty”? Meaning, if you’re a parent, do you celebrate your parents still as in get a gift or plan some outing/get together?

    That’s confusing. You’re supposed to “celebrate” your own parents, aka a phone call or something. It doesn’t change anything whether you’re a parent or not.

    Or was I trolled by a bot?

      I get the intent of the question. As in, should the focus be on parents with non-adult children rather than parents with adult children and/or grandchildren? Not that all parents aren’t celebrated, but the parents actively doing it every day should receive more focus than those not actively parenting

      A phone call isn’t much of a celebration. It sounds like you’re saying “non-active” parents are not the focus of celebration.

        There is no such thing as non-active parents. My parents will always be my parents, even after their death. My parents are assholes, and do not live in the same country as I do, hence the phone call.
