Only Mother's Day is standardized around the whole world..
But different countries celebrate Father's Day on different
dates..
I used to think Mother's Day falls on the 2nd Sunday of May for
every country, until a Polish colleague told me that in Poland,
it's celebrated on May 26 every year.
Did some research & found that Mother's Day is
celebrated on the following dates in various countries:
United Kingdom/England: Mother's Day is called
Mothering Sunday and falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent.
France: First Sunday in June or last
Sunday in May
Much of South America (as well as Mexico),
Bahrain, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab
Emirates: May 10
Mexico: - May 8
Albania: - March 8
Russia: - November 28
Poland: - May 26
Indonesia: - December 22
Egypt: - March 21
Norway: - February 13
Thailand: Birthday of Queen Sirikit

Sweden: Last Sunday in May
