It exists for only two reasons:

1) To make you feel obligated to give tribute to your mother, whom you likely love deeply anyway, and
2) To guilt you into buying loads of Mother's Day crap in accordance with item the first, and to portray you as a bad child or husband otherwise.

Isn't it based on Mothering Sunday, where you'd go back to your "mother church"?

Or is that just the origins of it over here?

Wen those flower companies don't own enough money anymore. Then they invented Farthers day too.
It's just patechic.
If you really want to celebrate mothers day. Then give her anything but flowers,

I hate the industry. All the cards are lame and are vastly overpriced. My mom likes cards so I'll buy them for her, though.

Why not make one instead then?

No money for the card industry AND your mum gets something more heartfelt. Everyone wins.
