Mothers Day -- you as a son/daughter show the appreciation for the sacrifices she made raising you. A birthday is totally different.

And of course you don't "need" to, the sun will still rise the day after if you don't, but certain things matter.

You "need" to, in the same way an engagement ring "needs" to be diamond and cost 3x your salary. Certain things matter!

What matters even more is showing your appreciation outside of one designated day a year, or a shiny piece of carbon.

WTF? We're talking about a PHONE CALL vs a tweet for your mom not spending $20K. If you can't spare five minutes, don't bother with a tweet (unless you're in Iraq, the South Pole etc.)
