Respect. Not love. RESPECT. ๐ Kelly just wants her teenager to acknowledge her existence this Mother's Day โ is that too much to ask?
Kelly and Don are breaking down why Mother's Day has turned into the "mother of all gift-giving holidays" โ and whether the whole thing has gone completely off the rails.
From Victoria's Secret targeting pregnant women with lingerie ads to $38 BILLION spent nationally, a card that just says "I am very appreciative," and the great breakfast-in-bed debateโฆ we're covering ALL of it.
Plus: the rapid-fire "Good Gift, Shitty Gift, or Just Straight Jump?" game, a Reddit mom meltdown, the alone time debate, and we pit our takes against AI. (Spoiler: the AI kind of agrees with us.)
