One difference between the two days is that Mother's Day comes during the school year... teachers, most of them themselves mothers, make sure that the kids in their classes know about the date and typically pursue hands-on art projects during the previous week. Father's Day in June is after school is out, hence no focus.
Really, things were already stressed before today... this was just one more thing.
