Mother's Day has changed

I was in Walmart the Friday night before Mother's day when I caught sight of this shirt:

Wait, what? I want to ask you this; why was this shirt made? Let's think about this. This is a shirt that basically says that mom is an insufferable bitch. Who would buy something like that? You know who? Fucked-up people. People who have created a family unit in which laughter is needed to deal with the horrible mother-figure at the head of the dysfunction pyramid.
If a child were to buy this for their mom they would have to be buying it for a mother that doesn't see being called a petty bitch as insulting. That is a frightening person.
If the mother were to buy this for herself then she has no respect for her kids and husband. Imagine her on a family outing wearing this shirt. It basically says, "I am the ramrod and these are my little bitches". This is a woman that has developed ego and persona that is so self-involved that she has ceased her existence as nurturing mom, and begun her reign as entitled "Diva".
Or perhaps I'm reading too much into it and this is something I missed out on getting for my mother...  No... even if my mother is a bitch she at least has enough dignity not to advertise the fact on a t-shirt.
