Are you like me, and getting annoyed with some of these rediculous posts on social media about made up Holidays aka Daughter's Day, Son's Day, Cousins Day, Puppy's Day, Cat Lover's Day, you name it there now is a day for it. Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter, daughter-in-laws, sons, son-in-law, & everyone else on the list, however since when do we need to announce a special day in their honor.
The hurt that some might feel came to light yesterday, while watching Ree Druummond of The Pioneer Woman on the Food Network. The show in question was called Sister Sister. Ree & her family live on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma. Her sister was visiting from Washington State, while preparing for her visit, Ree made an insensitive comment: HOW CAN PEOPLE LIVE WITHOUT A SISTER!
I thought about that for a while before sending off an email to which I have yet received a reply. You might be asking why I consider it insensitive & why I have a problem with the made up Holidays? Well here goes.
When people say things like Ree did or you're inundated with daughter & son posts, what do you suppose happens to those who might have lost their sister, daughter, son or even never fortunate to have that sister, daughter, son. Their pain & sorrow may never go away but you needn't add to it by pushing it in their face. I'm not saying you don't have the right to enjoy & be blessed.
My suggestion is to think before you speak or post! In the case of The Pioneer Woman, the FoodNetwork certainly should have cut out that footage. Shame on them.
