Is Bambi’s mom who, 49-50 years ago intuitively knew she was carrying a girl in her womb and even chose her name, simply “one of the people we<\/em> love<\/em>“? How is that possible? Yes, are our mothers “people we love<\/em>” and are we to our children “people they love<\/em>“? Why can’t we still call the most meaningful spade of our life a spade? Don’t mothers of the world deserve it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Dr. Mathieu Bock-C\u00f4t\u00e9 for your thoughtful article in Le Figaro<\/em> from which Bambi learned the following (https:\/\/www.lefigaro.fr\/vox\/societe\/mathieu-bock-cote-fete-des-meres-ou-fete-des-gens-qu-on-aime-20220527<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The media informed us this week that, in a growing number of French schools, Mother’s Day is replaced by a strange name, namely “Day of the People We Love”. The stated reason is often the same: Mother’s Day would discriminate against children from single-parent or homoparental families, or, even more, against those who are victims of parental abuse. Why then confine love to an exclusive figure to which not everyone would have access? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind this claimed sentimental pragmatism, a completely different movement is revealed, which we have become accustomed to associate with deconstruction. In the name of diversity, It is a question of erasing all clearly marked cultural or anthropological symbols, to replace them with more general terms, often floating, and even elusive, deemed more \u201cinclusive\u201d and less restrictiv<\/em>e…”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude this post, which seems to indicate collectively insane times have also reached France, Bambi would like to end with a kids’ song she loves so much. She would like to end with a song written for French mothers. A couple of years ago, she offered it to her own mom in Beirut on her Mother’s Day, which falls on March 21st. It is entitled “Maman, les petits bateaux ont-ils des jambes<\/em>” [“Mom, do small boats have legs<\/em>“?]?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
