In the United States, people celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day. Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, Mother usually receives greeting cards and gifts from her husband and children. The best gift of all for an American Mom is a day of leisure. The majority of American mothers have outside jobs as well as housework, so their working days are often very hard. The working mother enjoys the traditional Mother's Day custom of breakfast (or brunch) cooked by her family and served to her on a tray in bed. Later in the day, it's also traditional for the extended family group to get together for dinner, either in a restaurant or in one of their homes.

Flowers are an important part of Mother's Day. Mothers are often given a corsage or a plant for the occasion, particularly if they are elderly.
