Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers! This is your day to do as you please. Take it too! We don’t get many! Being a mom is hard work. Trying to balance it all isn’t as easy as we make it seem! So for that you deserve the world and more!
So What’s a Mom to do?
The gift of time is precious. From trying to get everything done, being burned out, not having enough time for yourself moms deserve the world. So on today I want you to think hard on what she wants. Put her needs above your own for this one day. Although trust me she deserves this more than just the one day! Cater to her. Love on her. Let her have the desires of her heart. If she wants to be taken out, you should have already made the arrangements. If you can make her smile today-do it!
Moms Need a Thank You
Yes today should be about thanking your Mom. She deserves a thank you. She deserves to be told that you love her everyday. Don’t miss out on the opportunity. So many people are grieving today. If they could go back and tell their mom one more time thank you they would. Life is but a vapor, be loving towards your mom. You only get one. Make it count!
Moms need to be Heard
One of the biggest challenges especially with younger children is knowing if what you’re saying to them is being heard. I’m smart enough to know that I won’t find that out until they get older. Keep pushing the lessons and being positive at the same time. Saying everything in a loving spirit is important too. So today make sure that if your children are too young to say it, as a spouse, children’s father, etc. help them to say it. We all know that being a Mom is thankless.
Moms Need Space
We need to be able to get the space that we need. Sometimes mom just want a little time to breath. Personally I don’t know what my family is doing today for me but if all else fails I’ll be in my room with snacks and a bottle of wine watching television like a pro. Why? I never make time for mindless television time. I never have the time to just do the little things. Moms all around the world would love some time to themselves.
Moms Need to Rest
You are going to see an influx of memes as well as Tik Toks and Reels telling you that moms want to sleep in! That’s because that’s what they want. In my house my husband doesn’t mind getting up and cooking or doing anything in the house that’s necessary. However overall I’ve taken on those roles. So on a day like today doing nothing is key. Not having to be up to make the breakfast, get the kids ready, etc. is the gift that keeps on giving.
What if I Don’t Have a Relationship with My Mom?
Today is a day to find something that helps you get through that is healthy. Not allowing people to tell you how you should feel is key. People think that moms are these wonderful beings. That was the intention but some don’t have it like that. Some people have little to no contact and don’t give their mom gifts. That’s okay! It’s okay to process this day the way you need.
What if my Mom has Transitioned?
It’s okay for you to process this day in any way that works! You may be sad or angry. Do something that honors her. You may not want to get out of bed. Understand that your feelings are valid. You have to give yourself grace today! Your inner circle should be there for you if you want them to. I have a few friends who struggle on today as well as my husband and I just take their cue. I reach out and if they are receptive I am there. If they are to themselves-that’s just as okay too. Give people the space to do their own thing without judgement.
For the Women who Desire to Have Children and Today is a Reminder of that Dream
We tend to forget these women! Why?? They have it hard today! If they go out to a restaurant to eat someone will mistakenly say Happy Mother’s Day to them uncovering a hurt and pain they wish to be dormant. I would love to say it will be okay but for some it’s not. A hole in the heart that can’t be filled. I send love to you! I sympathize with you! Let’s keep all women in prayers!
Today I a joyful, sad, somber day for so many women! I want to send out my love to you all! Make today the best you possibly can!
Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate it!
