If we really cared about mothers and fathers then their respective Days would be paid holidays; three-day weekends. Enough with this commemorative Sunday bs.

      Juneteenth is a federal holiday, but private employers don’t have to observe it. Mine sure doesn’t. I have never heard of any employer observing Mother’s or Father’s day with a paid holiday.
