Intro

With Mother's Day being tomorrow, May 13, it's highly likely that some ignorant card mistakes are going to be made. Before you make one yourself, click through the gallery to see some of the biggest (and probably unintentional) fails, all on mom's national holiday.

The 15 Most Ignorant Mother's Day Cards

Mad Mom

The Mad Mom Card

Given the 2 ways your mom could take this card, whether she's a fan of the TV show or not, play it safe and don't get this one.

Samuel

The Samuel L. Jackson Card

While your mom may have a good sense of humor and/or swoon for Samuel L. Jackson, this card is ridiculous and over-the-top.

Superhero

The Superhero-themed Card

Maybe your mom's into the whole superhero thing, but this takes it way too far. Just tell her she's a supermom if you need to go there.

Swear

The "Sorry I Swear So Much" Card

Mom doesn't need to be reminded of any of your flaws on her national holiday. Save it for another time, or never.

Lady Parts

The Inappropriate Lady Parts Card

Your mom may have a sense of humor, but this is just too graphic. Don't go there. She obviously remembers.

Wife 2

The Wifey Card

Do we even have to say why this card is so unbelievably ignorant?

Momism

The Momisms Card

The Momisms card, filled with plenty of "Because I said so" lines is all too ignorant. Moms know the lines they use, and they could care less to see them on Mother's Day.

Birth Mother

The Birth Mother Card

A card thanking your birth mother is cute and all, but it's a little awkward. You wouldn't want a card that thanks you for being an "adopted son," would you?

source

Mum

The "Why do you have to be a massive bitch?" Card

Granted this is a card addressing "Mum," and has a little bit of blunt British humor to it, we don't suggest calling your mom a bitch on MOTHER'S DAY.

Wife 1

Another Wifey Card

It's already kind of weird to say Happy Mother's Day to your wife, but to do so with a weird frog graphic is just stupid. Even a blank card would be a million times better.

Worst

The Overthinking-It Card

This is the overthinking-it card for a reason. Just because you don't have another point of reference, doesn't mean mom needs to realize it.

Cats 2

The From Your Cat Card

This is just too much. Mom doesn't need a card that you ghost-wrote for the cat. No thanks.

source

Wrong

The Overdoing It Card

There's just an easier way to say all of these things. Your mom gets it, she's the best. Just say that.

Obligatory

Obligatory Card

We admit that sending your mom a card or flowers might feel like an obligation, but there's no need to point it out. At least pretend like you mean it.

source

Facebook

The "Stop Bothering Me on Facebook" E-card

Yeah, mom's need to stop bothering us on Facebook, but can't you ask her any of the other 364 days in the year?
