I suppose it's an OK sentiment, but I'm not in contact with my parents and on days like these I keep getting reminded of that fact. I was secretly hoping there wouldn't be anything about it on HN, but I guess I'll just have to learn to deal with it.

<goes back to reading a book in pyjamas, today is not a very good day. />

It is an OK sentiment but not all of us have fond memories of our mothers. Mother's Day for me, only serves as a reminder of just how shitty my own mom was...

Best of luck to you today, too.

I'm sorry that for you reading a book in pyjamas is not a good day.

Wait, actually I'm envious of how many days you must have that are even better than reading a book in pyjamas.

[robinh]

Ha, fairy nuff. It's what prompts one to have such a day that matters, methinks. ;)

good luck today

[robinh]

Thank you. :)

I suppose it's an OK sentiment, but I don't know how to program and on days like these I keep getting reminded of the fact. I was secretly hoping there wouldn't be anything about it on HN, but I guess I'll just have to learn to deal with it.

Nothing is easy. Take the first step to remedy the situation before you regret it.

[robinh]

I'm pretty sure that's not even remotely related.

Woah, what's with all the downvotes here?

It was a 'clever' snarky post equating 'not seeing programming' on HN vs 'not seeing "call your mother"' on HN, which we can reasonably expect to not see.

In the rush to be clever, we got a really snarky post from someone who has no knowledge of the parent comment's context.

Not everyone has a great relationship with their parents, that doesn't make it the child's fault like super-counselor above likes to think.
