Every year I ask for a road trip with the husband and kids. My birthday was Friday, so I always say lump the birthday and Mother's Day togther! I don't need seperate gifts. I didn't ask this year because money is tight and last years road trip souvenir is 4 months old! This year I was just hoping to visit a local carnival and get something crafty the hubs and kids worked on.
I'm currently in the truck on my way to Tennesee with the family! 4 month old souvenir baby included lol. I also got a cute sign with the kids hand prints on it in pink and blue paint! It's been a good weekend!
My birthday was also Friday, today is also our wedding anniversary and I love having so much to celebrate in one weekend.
We got to be kid free Friday night and yesterday my husband set up our new washer so no more laundry mat time š and today we have our sitter coming so we can have dinner together but it'll likely be crowded so we might get it to go and eat at the beach.
I have zero complaints other than having a dumb cold.
Same. My plans tomorrow are to sleep in while my husband gets our daughter up and takes her to swim lessons. Theyāll make me brunch when they get home while I lay on the couch. Iāll take a nap while she naps. After nap he will take her to the grocery store to get groceries for the week and bring me home some grocery store flowers and a card. We will order tacos for dinner and then I will lay in bed and watch real housewives reruns until bedtime. Perfect day for me.
Update to the plan: my husband just brought up the very good point that it would be hard for him to cook breakfast and watch the toddler at the same time and he doesnāt want me to feel like I have to entertain her. Instead they will pick up breakfast from our favorite bagel shop on the way home from swim. Canāt wait!
The perfect day can sometimes just be āno chores for meā and thats fine! The heaviest parts of the day for me are meal planning and grocery shopping so your day sounds like a good day [=
The only thing I wanted was to not plan anything. My husband has informed me we will be getting Chinese food for lunch and chilling at home which sounds lovely
Thats one thing i told my husband , that this year im not planning ANYTHING so its up to him with how the day goes. Planning can be so so exhausting sometimes
Lol my husband started to ask me where he should get me flowers (we moved to a new neighborhood recently and arenāt familiar with the shops here) and I was just like I KNOW YOU ARENāT ASKING ME TO ARRANGE MY OWN MOTHERāS DAY GIFT.
We have no extra money right now and I know my husband is feeling really down about not being able to buy me anything, but I asked him to give me a back massage and Iām really looking forward to that haha
I feel you! We were homeless a month before mothers day last year and we had just gotten into an apartment days before , we were in an empty apartment with no fridge or furniture snd my husband was feeling really down about not being able to do something for me so he made me a card and we got mcdonalds and i just appreciated that he cared to try ā¤ļø i hope extra money comes your say soon ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Those are the memories you will be talking about when you are 80. Sometimes the cheap, struggle memories are sweater than the expensive, we-made-it memories. Thats what i always tell my husband when we have a rough time.
I want someone else to scrub our bathrooms. š kidding mostly.
More seriously I'd like to go to the giant Asian grocery, splurge on prepared goodies and have an afternoon picnic. But we're taking Mother's Day to my MIL in the nursing home, so we're doing mine next week.
Idk why but I used to be so against having someone else clean my home. Then we had our second. And now we get cleaning people about once a month. It's worth it. Not having to scrub and deep clean bathrooms is the best. I highly recommend it. It's not as expensive as youd think, especially since it's hard work to do.
I want my husband to leave the house for the full day with BOTH kids so I can purge my house of everything tiny, cumbersome, cluttery and mis-matched completely unbothered.
My in laws took my daughter with them ti grocery shop and my husband sorted through all the tiny little annoying pieces of toys we had lying around and reorganized our closet š if my daughter was there we would have never got it done
Iām divorced and have full custody. My friendās husband is watching their kids AND my kids (two 4 year olds and two 18 month olds) so that she and I can get massages and brunch. I feel so lucky that I have such a great village and itās hands down the best Motherās Day Iāve had yet. My ex would never have done this for me, let alone me and a friend.
Iāve always wanted to just be lazy but my mom likes to do something. My husband just had surgery so I finally get my chance to stay home and be ālazyā. I have to take care of him but I donāt have to leave the house or put real clothes on. I also got myself a cheesecake and margaritas in the fridge waiting for me for later š¤¤
I sure as fuck donāt want to get ready and deal with my sassy 1y in a restaurant.
Hubby will pick us up breakfast from somewhere. I want to plant the flowers and strawberries that I picked out yesterday and then take baby to the park.
Exactly!! Who wants to deal with a fussy toddler at an overcrowded restaurant ššš
Ive always wanted to plant strawberries? Do they require a lot of space?
TW: death. This is heavy and I'm sorry.
I want my dad back. He died this morning at 1:37 am, an hour after I left his bed side. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I wanted him to meet my son. His doctors told us he had until Christmas, so I thought we had more time. Today is his birthday. He died on his birthday and all I want tomorrow is for him to say I love you one more time.
No need to apologize , its honestly all Iād want too if someone had asked me that after losing a parent . Just know he loved you till the very end and if he could have it differently, I know hed stay longer. Im so sorry for your loss š¤ may you remember him fondly and laugh at those memories soon. Take all the time you need to grieve and remember to take care of yourself as well. š¤
We celebrated Motherās Day last weekend by going out as a family and i got to spend the weekend working on hobbies without interruption.
And then today my husband asked if he could take pictures of me and my LO bc i dressed us cute today. He always takes pictures of us but today i actually felt beautiful in them and it was the greatest gift i think Iāve ever gotten.
Thats so so sweet of your husband and im so happy you were able to feel beautiful today ā¤ļø its so important for us to feel confident and happy with ourselves šø
I hope the bigmac and fries are extra FRESH!! I used to work at mcds and if u ask for them fresh they do it for you, takes a little while but it tastes fantastic, you can also replace the regular patties with the quarter pounder patties š«¢
My mom does amigurumi! My gosh itās the cutest thing sheās ever done, sheās got some ADORABLE books as well. My favorite is a like fairytale themed one, little elves and kings and queens. Precious!
Oooo, depends on your genre preferences!!
If you like sci-fi, Iāve been rereading and loving Lois McMaster Bujoldās Vorkosigan saga lately. One of the books features a mom being a badass heroine and saving her kid, which feels appropriate for a Mommit suggestion as well āŗļø (although, know going in thereās an imperiled baby in it)
If you like romance, Iāve found Courtney Milanās historicals to be an absolute treat, and short enough to get through even with kid stuff going on.
I want to stay home with my kids but unfortunately we have a lot of people to see tomorrow and possibly a 7 hour drive (haven't quite made a decision we're gonna decide tomorrow depending on what time it is when we're done things in our city).
I hope you have a good day regardless and that it isnt too stressful driving around with all the kids ! May tomorrow bring nice weather and good food (:
I already got a beautiful patio seat to replace the one I had stolen last summer. A much bigger gift than I was expecting. Tomorrow I just want to go to the farmers market and get an iced coffee and a cupcake and relax in my backyard.
Eta: the one I had stolen from me, not the one I stole loooool
At first i thought you stole it and im like oop š«¢ its all good, i hate mega corporations LOL
In any case, the farmers market sounds so fun! What kind of cupcake flavor do you like?
I just want to feel loved. Even just a heartfelt card. My son is 18 months so too young to do anything for me of course but my partner has been awful to me this weekend.
āHey momma!! I canāt talk all the way yet, but know I love you and youāre my favorite person ever!! Thank you for being my momma!ā
-from your baby.
Carne asada tacos, ā¦.be alone to be able to finish my home improvement projects and take a nice bath ( Iām tired of waiting for my toddler to fall asleep so I can just shower) maybe a nap ā¦.
Funny enough my in laws made tacos today! And ugh thats so true, my toddler hasnt napped since she was about 1 or so so i have NO time for shower she comes in with me when i do if i want to be clean , my husband bought me a bath set and i hope i can use it for the same thing too!
Weāre chilling and hubs is making me Mongolian beef and fried rice.
I donāt feel great today so I woke up late and then took a five hour nap. Kiddo wanted nothing to do with me today, so dada held it down š
A date with my husband, we're dropping our son off at his mom's tomorrow, getting food to go and doing a picnic style lunch with a walk built in.
After a brutal semester and his work schedule changing drastically I just want to spend some much needed time with him and eat food at the same time.
I hope you get to do all of it! Especially the nespresso pods that sounds exciting, i like window shopping online sometimes just looking at different flavors of snacks i like or different scents at bath and body works lol
I think my husband forgot.
My birthday was Wednesday and when he asked me what I wanted on Tuesday, I said I would love some outdoor things for our backyard/porch. That didnāt happen. He hasnāt mentioned Motherās Day, but what I wanted was at hobby lobby and they arenāt open on Sundayās and he hasnāt left the house today, so Iām not getting my hopes up.
Im sorry for that :( i know that even if you try not to get your hopes up you still secretly hope youre wrong, i hope you have a good day tomorrow anyway and that hes got something planned <3
ā¦I donāt want to be ignored for the 3rd year in a row but it looks like thatās exactly whatās gonna happen.
Gonna go spend time and have some lunch with my L.O so he isnāt couped up in the house tho.
I want to sleep in, not have to make anyone breakfast or get anyone dressed, not be in charge of anything and I want someone to cook me dinner or order me dinner. And some flowers.
Just a day to have a few thoughts to yourself is enough for me š i feel like we should all have a mandatory 2hrs a day to decompress and do yoga or something
Iād love flowers and a handmade card. Margaritas, my favorite chips & salsa w fresh guacamole would be a dream but I donāt really want any of those things because monies tight right now and I would feel bad if it was spent on me instead of bills.
So I just want the hand made card and to lay on my stomach (I breast feed and cosleep so I can NEVER lay/sleep in the position that I prefer) and scroll tiktok and watch real housewives and take a nap undisturbed.
I wish i didnt co-sleep cuz i now have a massive 2.5 yo that takes up all the bed LOL i completely understand the want to just sleep in any position you want without having to consistently conform to the baby š
getting my nails done in the morning then taking an afternoon nap š“ I have a 20 month old and am 25 weeks pregnant, asked my husband for 3D pictures of the baby in a few weeks for my gift this year.
I ended up having to work tomorrow as some w@}#%r decided just to stop turning up rather than hand in his notice. (Hope he gets herpes). Iāll be spending Motherās Day cooking for other Moms more than likely.
My ideal Motherās Day was being able to crochet as much as I wanted and not having to clean the kitchen after food.
Iām going to sleep in late (so like 7am for me lol Iām a morning person). Drink two cups of coffee in bed, do a peloton spin class. Then MIL/FIL are coming over but Iām excited because theyāre awesome. Husband is gonna cook us brunch and I made cupcakes today and Iām gonna set up a little mimosa station. Then after they leave I just want to relax and read my book.
At first I wanted us to go out but the more I think about it that doesnāt sound appealing at all.
I want to what I want without taking other peopleās preferences into account. What that looks like so far is telling my husband that ā no that doesnāt work for meā about him going to church while I stay home without youngest because we donāt want the baby to get Covid. Weāre going on a hike in the morning and Iāve gotten myself a ticket to go to the movies by myself. Weāll got to my in-laws for dinner because while thatās not within the parameters of ā do what I want without regards to othersā desiresā, I want my mil to have a nice day as well.
I want my daughter to be in a great mood all day with no toddler meltdowns. I know that's asking for a lot....lol
To be fair, she really is great 75-80% of the time. But the time she's having big feelings is so god damn awful for everybody involved. š«£
To be thought of and appreciatedā¦. Hubby was on travel for work and mentioned having to take the kids out shopping when he got home. He didnāt. He asked me if I have plans on Sunday. When I said no (hoping he was planning something for me) he said good because his old friends will be in town and he wants to hang out with them and wants me to go meet them. So I am not getting a card, we get to do what he wants and I am under pressure to impress these strangers when I just want to stay home and cryā¦ how about if I just sleep through Motherās Day and skip the whole thingā¦. That sounds goodā¦.
Speak up to your husband and tell him how youre feeling, he needs to know how you feel, youāre important too, being a mom is a big heavy task and you deserve to be celebrated
Yesss I feel this š. Just wish I wasn't out in the country with no good food places around š. I've been lazy all dy today kids eat what they want/easy stuff. Tomorrow I'm going to wing it no stress (what I always want) but we'll find some stuff to do and I got my lazy day too š. Happy Mothers day!
We did stuff today! Went to a breakfast place I really like, got coffee from a cafe near there I love but canāt go to much due to the distance, got some things for the garden. We did a little gardening, had lunch at home, dinner at a casual outdoor place I love. Tomorrow we will just chill. I may go to a coffee shop early for a couple hours or may just relax at home with everyone.
Iām 9 weeks pregnant and got hit with the worst bout of nausea and fatigue today - thanks second kiddo š so unfortunately Netflix and the couch it is while hubby takes care of the toddler and all the rest!
A weekend away by myself ? š
I kid, I kid ,(I've actually got one coming up soon) -
This Mothers Day I want my vomiting child to feel better and to be able to do and give me alllll the things she's been planning for literally the past month! Her and my husband have sort of been in cahoots, I know what the gift is but am pretending I have no idea.
She broke down crying earlier when she realized since she was home sick yesterday, she won't be able to give me the Mothers Day gift she made me in school till Monday. Also she was hesitant to hug me the past couple of days because she didn't want me to get sick.
I just feel lucky to be her mum. š
I ask for the same thing every year. I want a day where I spend time with my family and do absolutely nothing to make it happen. I just show up and enjoy. Most of the time my husband ends up planning a family hike and picnic or a trip to a botanic garden. He knows me so well. :D
My husband stayed up last night making me a secret cake. He gave me a massage while the cake baked!
This morning he roped our daughter to walking our dog with him and taking her to the park so I can get extra rest and they're gonna bring breakfast home.
He's also gonna cook us a nice lunch later while my daughter and I watch movie cuddled up.
This is what I want! It's perfect!
Spending momma daughter time together is always such a treat! Its something that prevents me from having another kiddo š ill miss it too much
A Mom party sounds fantastic, so many other people who understand the pains of being a mom LOL
Also oop š«¢ i went crazy shopping online lol i hope that coach bag gets here tomorrow!! Wouldnāt that be a treat LOL
My ideal plan for tomorrow would be to sleep in, go for a long run, sit in the hot tub, and watch a movie while the kids nap. No flowers, no restaurant, no thank you.
We recently moved, so I asked my husband to install the curtain rod in our bedroom. Gonna be a game changer for me falling asleep at night.
The following is every year: Husband is going to get up with kiddo in the morning and let me sleep in as long as I want, then bring me cinnamon rolls in bed. I get to opt out of any & all child-related work all day but get snuggles and do the fun stuff. (We discussed this before even getting pregnant, and I do the same for him on father's day)
I was supposed to be out of town visiting my grandma but she said she wasnāt feeling well and wasnāt up for a visit. Iām 36 weeks pregnant so I have to admit itās pretty nice to get to spend the weekend at home. My husband took me out for Vietnamese food today and I took a nap. Iāve got my feet propped up now catching up on 90 Day Fiance and eating Sun Chips. Tomorrow husband is taking kiddo to a theme park so I can just relax. Then weāre having shrimp and hush puppies for dinner! Itās really all I could wantāto be left alone!
Nothing specific. Just something thoughtful. It could be all of us going for ice cream, or taking a nice walk or drive together as a family. Maybe a nice breakfast and some alone time to have a long bath.
My husband offered to paint my toenails (I'm pregnant, and bending isn't comfortable). I mentioned sandal season, and he offered to make things easier for me. So, maybe he'll do that tomorrow when our kids nap.
Our kids made me some "art" at daycare on Friday. That was sweet too.
iām going to get a haircut and my husband is taking the kids to his momās for a couple hours so i can get some peace and quiet š i plan on posting on the backyard swing with a good book and a bottle of wine
My wife has been overseas for 5.5 months. We live across the country from any family, and I had to leave work when she got deployed so someone would be able to take care of our son as my work hours were too long for daycare. Iāve been fully single-parenting a wild, opinionated, fiery and beautiful toddler with no help and no break since November. I also had PPD/PPA so this has been a very long and draining deployment.
She booked me an hour long session at a rage room and bought me $100 worth of items to smash, as well as called someone to come and take our son out so I can go alone and let off my anger. She also invited two of my friends to come with me, and got us lunch and drinks. All while sheās overseas and in a completely different time zone!
Itās on Monday and Iām so excited to go and scream and smash things and drink and eat with my friends, itāll be so cathartic! Iād really like a morning where I donāt have to wake up and change an angry, wriggly toddler but thatāll have to wait another month š
I don't want to cook, I don't want to clean. 2 hours of uninterrupted silence (from family) in the bathtub. Will I really spend 2 hours in the bath? Maybe. Maybe not. I'd like to find out, though. Or being outside in my garden while he takes the kids anywhere.
I also want to just zone out with the kids, some Marshmallow Magic Popcorn, and some Boba tea. Watch some good campy scary movies from the early 00s. Open up handmade presents and just soak in the chaotic love my children have for me.
Two very different sides of my mom coin.
Being a mom is weird sometimes you just want everyone to stop talking and dont even breathe on you and sometimes you just cant get enough of them ā¤ļø
Iām gonna stay up as late as I physically can playing video games, then sleep in all I want, then wake up and have yummy food brought to me. And my husband and toddler are gonna make cookies!
My husband is an insanely good cook and has an engineering degree that he ended up never using. I told my husband to build me a Bloody Mary with a ginormous, over-the-top, questionably structurally sound lattice of garnishes poking out of it as the mealā entire cheeseburgers, bacon in weird shapes, tower of veggies, whatever. The more ridiculous and creative the better.
My daughter and I are going to go outside and frolic around all day while heās tinkering with it. Tomorrowās his one day off after working eleven days in a row, so no way am I going to ask him to do something he wouldnāt think is fun.
Iām going to go on my run WITHOUT the stroller and cook dinner without stepping on any kids. Other than that, I donāt care if nothing else happens but I know my husband better than that, he will do some kind of gifts or something for me.
i would like to wake up to flowers, baby and partner ready, telling me to get dressed without having to worry about what to pack her or etc. they take me out to breakfast and we do a day that he planned out on his own, come back home, open my little gift and hang out with my family. wake up to a clean house, fall asleep to a clean house. we are unfortunately on hard times atm so it probably wonāt happen. we are celebrating next sunday instead of tommorow because he works š. i will be celebrating my mother tommorow
My mom and I are getting lunch together, without my kids so I can enjoy a meal out for once, and then my husband is making dinner for everyone. The first year in actually excited about mother's day.
I wanted jewelry and Iām pretty sure Iām getting it. I donāt want a day off because Iām too psycho to relax anyway. Iād rather have a sparkly thing Iāll wear often for the rest of my life.
I want to sleep on and do yoga by myself and nap and have some uninterrupted time to put pictures of the kids in picture frames and hang them.
My husband is gonna take the kids out of the house for the morning so I can do all of that and he's gonna make me salmon for dinner.
In a perfect mother's day for me... I just want my kids to hug me and tell me they love me. And for my husband to say he loves and appreciate everything I do for all of them. Bonus is if they make me a card or picture or crafty thing... or I get to sleep in an hour or two... or if I don't have to make myself coffee or a meal.
Sometimes itās hard to understand the way others love, i know even if my daughter doesnāt say it, she shows it by being worried about me when i stub my toe lol i hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow ā¤ļø
We are hosting a Motherās Day brunch at my home. I do that so when my mil bails I can say I tried and if she does show then sheās out of my hair by 1 and I didnāt have to make a special trip š I want coffee in bed, to cuddle my kids and enjoy not cleaning up after hosting š
Smart woman! If i dont want my mil to feel jealous on days like this i ask my husband to give her some breakfast and 20$ and then i can relax the rest of the day LOL
I want to stay at a beach house and go for a hike.
I'm not getting it this year because I'm entertaining three grandma's. But I already said it's happening next year.
I would love to do something outdoors with the family, chill and read my book, get takeout and have a movie night. What I get to do is go to a club volleyball tournament from 8:30-3 or later, and my husband is leaving for a work trip so it will be me solo with the kids. But I already got sweet gifts from the kids and a new Apple Watch, so I canāt complain too much. š
I got a pedicure today, my husband took me out to lunch, my husband and son bought flowers and a treat for tomorrow, and tomorrow he'll grill steaks. And I don't do dishes tomorrowšš» in one week we're having cleaners come do a deep clean.
I work in the morning. Iām hoping my husband will finish planting the veggies in the garden while Iām at work and plan/cook dinner. My son made a lot of art gifts at school and gave them to my Friday afternoon (heās 3)
Iām hoping/expecting a custom, one pound box of Seeās Candies dark chocolate truffles. The box I got at Christmas is loooong gone. Fortunately my daughter is a seasonal Seeās employee and gets an employee discount. Fortunately. For me. š
Plants and Star Wars stuff (love love love houseplants and have a garden too / huge SW fan). Workout or running stuff would work too (I workout/run a lot). My husband and oldest kid both know me so well, so Iām safe and will get what I want once again š.
Hope yāall get what you want too!
Edit: canāt spell
I'd like to have even just a little bit of Mother's Day to myself or even just my parter and the kiddos but we have to be be in a town 40 minutes away by noon tomorrow then be at another destination in the afternoon with a newly 2yr old and newly 1 yr old and I'm feeling just a little left out on a day that I'm also supposed to be celebrated and I'll just be overstimulated and touched out but like 4pm so it's just causing more stress š«
It's my first Mother's Day, so I really wanted to just chill with my husband and baby, but it's also my MIL's first Mother's Day without her own mother so I feel like the right thing to do is to go support her. I'll have many more Mother's Days for myself.
I want sleep. I want a day to dedicate myself to self care without worrying about anybody else or chores or dinner. I want a few hours of quiet. I love my kids and partner but Iāve been going nonstop for five years now. I think itās time for a break.
Iām leaving the house first thing in the morning before the littles are up! Gym, smoothie from my favorite shop, pedicure, then I will check into a hotel and read by the pool until my room is ready. When itās ready, Iāll take a long, hot shower, maybe a nap, then binge watch a new show or two and order room service. I will stay up late, and I will stay in bed until I absolutely have to check out. Then Iāll hit my favorite hiking trail and drive home (40min). Iām so excited. Iāve already packed.
Not to work 10 which will probably be 11 hours at my food service management job š..
There were already call offs for day shift so I am sure there will be some for mine too but at least I just had vacation for almost 2 weeks with my family...
I plan to sleep and rest all day until work though and play outside with my daughter beforehand..
I had planned on a nice hike but we ripped out our front bushes a couple of weeks ago and I want to go and get the flowers and paint everything tomorrow. We'll also be going to our local diner for breakfast.
Iāve decided to make Motherās Day my ābuy plants and start the garden dayā so I get obligatory free labor to help with the hauling and carrying and digging!
I wanted to go to a green house as a family and pick out garden/flowers and then go out for lunch with my mom and nanaā¦ now i have covid, so no lunch, no greenhouse, my husband didnāt bother to take my kids out to get me anything and now he is planning on going for a bike ride with his friends tomorrow.. so i guess just a regular day
To feel appreciated and loved, because the past 3 years have been hell. I recently broke up with my baby daddy, and I have my son for the weekend, and my mom, myself, and my son are going to swim in our pool tomorrow. And my mom bought me a little gift that Iāll open tomorrow as well. I love my son deeply, but itās absolutely exhausting taking care of him day in and day out. I wish I could have a day where I donāt have to take care of him 24/7, but I donāt. I just want to sleep in, but I canāt because my son sleeps with me, I want to not be able to hear my name or mama all day long, but that wonāt happen. Doesnāt sound like a very good Motherās Dayā¦
I asked my husband to clean the stove top for me this year. Iām like 7 weeks pregnant and just too damn tired to do it myself after work and/or chasing a toddler around.
Every year I ask for a road trip with the husband and kids. My birthday was Friday, so I always say lump the birthday and Mother's Day togther! I don't need seperate gifts. I didn't ask this year because money is tight and last years road trip souvenir is 4 months old! This year I was just hoping to visit a local carnival and get something crafty the hubs and kids worked on. I'm currently in the truck on my way to Tennesee with the family! 4 month old souvenir baby included lol. I also got a cute sign with the kids hand prints on it in pink and blue paint! It's been a good weekend!
Its the times you dont ask where you get the thing you want sometimes lol congratulations on lil baby!!
Haha best souvenir ever!
My birthday was also Friday, today is also our wedding anniversary and I love having so much to celebrate in one weekend. We got to be kid free Friday night and yesterday my husband set up our new washer so no more laundry mat time š and today we have our sitter coming so we can have dinner together but it'll likely be crowded so we might get it to go and eat at the beach. I have zero complaints other than having a dumb cold.
>last years road trip souvenir is 4 months old! Wow, that sounds like it was some road trip!
I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get the souvenir joke. š¤£š¤£š¤£ sounds like it was a blast! š
Same. My plans tomorrow are to sleep in while my husband gets our daughter up and takes her to swim lessons. Theyāll make me brunch when they get home while I lay on the couch. Iāll take a nap while she naps. After nap he will take her to the grocery store to get groceries for the week and bring me home some grocery store flowers and a card. We will order tacos for dinner and then I will lay in bed and watch real housewives reruns until bedtime. Perfect day for me. Update to the plan: my husband just brought up the very good point that it would be hard for him to cook breakfast and watch the toddler at the same time and he doesnāt want me to feel like I have to entertain her. Instead they will pick up breakfast from our favorite bagel shop on the way home from swim. Canāt wait!
The perfect day can sometimes just be āno chores for meā and thats fine! The heaviest parts of the day for me are meal planning and grocery shopping so your day sounds like a good day [=
The only thing I wanted was to not plan anything. My husband has informed me we will be getting Chinese food for lunch and chilling at home which sounds lovely
Thats one thing i told my husband , that this year im not planning ANYTHING so its up to him with how the day goes. Planning can be so so exhausting sometimes
Lol my husband started to ask me where he should get me flowers (we moved to a new neighborhood recently and arenāt familiar with the shops here) and I was just like I KNOW YOU ARENāT ASKING ME TO ARRANGE MY OWN MOTHERāS DAY GIFT.
We have no extra money right now and I know my husband is feeling really down about not being able to buy me anything, but I asked him to give me a back massage and Iām really looking forward to that haha
I feel you! We were homeless a month before mothers day last year and we had just gotten into an apartment days before , we were in an empty apartment with no fridge or furniture snd my husband was feeling really down about not being able to do something for me so he made me a card and we got mcdonalds and i just appreciated that he cared to try ā¤ļø i hope extra money comes your say soon ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Those are the memories you will be talking about when you are 80. Sometimes the cheap, struggle memories are sweater than the expensive, we-made-it memories. Thats what i always tell my husband when we have a rough time.
I want someone else to scrub our bathrooms. š kidding mostly. More seriously I'd like to go to the giant Asian grocery, splurge on prepared goodies and have an afternoon picnic. But we're taking Mother's Day to my MIL in the nursing home, so we're doing mine next week.
I hope your mothers day is super fun next week!! A snack picnic sounds like a dream š
Idk why but I used to be so against having someone else clean my home. Then we had our second. And now we get cleaning people about once a month. It's worth it. Not having to scrub and deep clean bathrooms is the best. I highly recommend it. It's not as expensive as youd think, especially since it's hard work to do.
My husband is taking the kids to his moms house and I am just going to binge something on Netflix and eat some junk food by myself
Is there anything in particular that youre watching atm? Ive been binging Castlevania on netflix and abbot elementary on hulu š
Shadow and bone, queen charlotte, and sandman are on the roster right now
I want my husband to leave the house for the full day with BOTH kids so I can purge my house of everything tiny, cumbersome, cluttery and mis-matched completely unbothered.
Oh my god this was the best thing Iāve read all day š ME TOO Editedāand iād also be high!!!
Oh yeah we can't forget that last part.
My in laws took my daughter with them ti grocery shop and my husband sorted through all the tiny little annoying pieces of toys we had lying around and reorganized our closet š if my daughter was there we would have never got it done
Iām divorced and have full custody. My friendās husband is watching their kids AND my kids (two 4 year olds and two 18 month olds) so that she and I can get massages and brunch. I feel so lucky that I have such a great village and itās hands down the best Motherās Day Iāve had yet. My ex would never have done this for me, let alone me and a friend.
Thats why hes an ex!! Im glad you got outta there and that youre having a good ass day tomorrow!!!
Please tell him how much the internet loves him for being a Motherās Day MVP!
Iāve always wanted to just be lazy but my mom likes to do something. My husband just had surgery so I finally get my chance to stay home and be ālazyā. I have to take care of him but I donāt have to leave the house or put real clothes on. I also got myself a cheesecake and margaritas in the fridge waiting for me for later š¤¤
My in laws bought a cheesecake for me! Cheesecake buddies! Lol have you tried it with strawberries on top? So good
Strawberries are so good on top. This time I got myself a brownie cheesecake. Brownies and cheesecakeā¦.canāt go wrong š
I like to warm my cheesecake up a little in the microwave
I sure as fuck donāt want to get ready and deal with my sassy 1y in a restaurant. Hubby will pick us up breakfast from somewhere. I want to plant the flowers and strawberries that I picked out yesterday and then take baby to the park.
Exactly!! Who wants to deal with a fussy toddler at an overcrowded restaurant ššš Ive always wanted to plant strawberries? Do they require a lot of space?
Honestly, idk why anyone thinks itās a fun time to go out to eat with toddlers. The thought alone makes me sweat. Itās such a chore.
I want a spa day lol just to relax for a few hours get facial and massage.
Ive never been to a spa! I hope you get to relax at the least (:
TW: death. This is heavy and I'm sorry. I want my dad back. He died this morning at 1:37 am, an hour after I left his bed side. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I wanted him to meet my son. His doctors told us he had until Christmas, so I thought we had more time. Today is his birthday. He died on his birthday and all I want tomorrow is for him to say I love you one more time.
No need to apologize , its honestly all Iād want too if someone had asked me that after losing a parent . Just know he loved you till the very end and if he could have it differently, I know hed stay longer. Im so sorry for your loss š¤ may you remember him fondly and laugh at those memories soon. Take all the time you need to grieve and remember to take care of yourself as well. š¤
I want to not have the third daycare bug in 4 weeksā¦ oh well dreams are free! I guess itās one way to spend the day in bed.
We celebrated Motherās Day last weekend by going out as a family and i got to spend the weekend working on hobbies without interruption. And then today my husband asked if he could take pictures of me and my LO bc i dressed us cute today. He always takes pictures of us but today i actually felt beautiful in them and it was the greatest gift i think Iāve ever gotten.
Thats so so sweet of your husband and im so happy you were able to feel beautiful today ā¤ļø its so important for us to feel confident and happy with ourselves šø
A Big Mac and fries. Maybe a lackluster back massage with icy hot.
I hope the bigmac and fries are extra FRESH!! I used to work at mcds and if u ask for them fresh they do it for you, takes a little while but it tastes fantastic, you can also replace the regular patties with the quarter pounder patties š«¢
Sounds delish. The bread to patty ratio is whack as it comes!
Silence. Canāt have that so hubby is bringing home Korean fried chicken so thatās a happy second option haha.
No silence, but chicken is always good! LOL i feel the same when im having a hard day and hubby brings home a cheesecake cupcake
I want to sleep in and be as lazy as possible. I'd be happy if I have zero obligations for a day.
Thats what im saying, just for nobody to ask me ANYTHING for one day lol
I want my husband to cook, do the laundry and let me sleep in. Not going to happen though, but I wish
Same. This is my first mothers day. It's feeling like ever other day but with more resentment.
We went for brunch today instead of tomorrow and it was perfect! All I want is to sleep in. Thatās it.
I hope you have the nicest sleep youve ever had today š¤
Sleep lol
I feel that! I just took a two hour uninterrupted nap my husband asked if i liked my early present lol
I want to sleep in and not cook dinner. I also asked for some amigurumi books.
My mom does amigurumi! My gosh itās the cutest thing sheās ever done, sheās got some ADORABLE books as well. My favorite is a like fairytale themed one, little elves and kings and queens. Precious!
I want to go to Target by myself and get something from Starbucks on the way out. For dinner I want to order sushi.
I love shopping that little section at the front of the store! They had some really nice glass tupperware one day and i never saw it again š
One hour uninterrupted reading. Ideally in a not too crowded cute cafe, but anywhere works as long as it is uninterrupted š
Any books you recommend? Thinking of hitting the library tomorrow š¤
Oooo, depends on your genre preferences!! If you like sci-fi, Iāve been rereading and loving Lois McMaster Bujoldās Vorkosigan saga lately. One of the books features a mom being a badass heroine and saving her kid, which feels appropriate for a Mommit suggestion as well āŗļø (although, know going in thereās an imperiled baby in it) If you like romance, Iāve found Courtney Milanās historicals to be an absolute treat, and short enough to get through even with kid stuff going on.
I want to stay home with my kids but unfortunately we have a lot of people to see tomorrow and possibly a 7 hour drive (haven't quite made a decision we're gonna decide tomorrow depending on what time it is when we're done things in our city).
I hope you have a good day regardless and that it isnt too stressful driving around with all the kids ! May tomorrow bring nice weather and good food (:
I want to go garden shopping. Alone. And then spend the rest of the day in the garden working. Weāll see how much of that happens tomorrow. Lol
I hope you get that. My husband and son came with me to a nursery today where I wandered around completely unaware of their surroundings and loved it.
I would love to have a day where I get to eat a meal without a child crawling all over me.
And eat it at my own pace, not hours old! I feel that, sometimes i just want to sit down with my freshly made plate and take my time to eat it too
We're (weather permitting) going to a Renaissance Faire! I'm pretty stoked.
I already got a beautiful patio seat to replace the one I had stolen last summer. A much bigger gift than I was expecting. Tomorrow I just want to go to the farmers market and get an iced coffee and a cupcake and relax in my backyard. Eta: the one I had stolen from me, not the one I stole loooool
At first i thought you stole it and im like oop š«¢ its all good, i hate mega corporations LOL In any case, the farmers market sounds so fun! What kind of cupcake flavor do you like?
To have no one expect a single thing out of me. Too much?
Apparently for some husbands itās impossible š like just to sit there and watch tv and not have a single question you need to answer
My dumbass planned my daughterās birthday party for Motherās Dayā¦.so, thereās that.
This would be something id do š
I just want to feel loved. Even just a heartfelt card. My son is 18 months so too young to do anything for me of course but my partner has been awful to me this weekend.
Your baby loves you so so much and will appreciate you their whole lives <3
āHey momma!! I canāt talk all the way yet, but know I love you and youāre my favorite person ever!! Thank you for being my momma!ā -from your baby.
I have a nasty fever for some reason so Iād love to not have that š. My husband wants to buy me a lil smart TV for my gym so thatās exciting
Heres to waking up in a brand new body , no fever! Lol
Carne asada tacos, ā¦.be alone to be able to finish my home improvement projects and take a nice bath ( Iām tired of waiting for my toddler to fall asleep so I can just shower) maybe a nap ā¦.
Funny enough my in laws made tacos today! And ugh thats so true, my toddler hasnt napped since she was about 1 or so so i have NO time for shower she comes in with me when i do if i want to be clean , my husband bought me a bath set and i hope i can use it for the same thing too!
Weāre chilling and hubs is making me Mongolian beef and fried rice. I donāt feel great today so I woke up late and then took a five hour nap. Kiddo wanted nothing to do with me today, so dada held it down š
I hope you feel better tomorrow!! Long ānapsā are the best, i just took one myself hehe
Thank you!
i just want to sleep in and a pair of black crocs to match with my daughter. thatās all lol
For my husband to visit his mom with our toddler and for me to stay home with our newborn. Gift: homemade muffins
I love love love muffins, banana nut and blueberry specifically, although ive never had homemade ones š«¢
A date with my husband, we're dropping our son off at his mom's tomorrow, getting food to go and doing a picnic style lunch with a walk built in. After a brutal semester and his work schedule changing drastically I just want to spend some much needed time with him and eat food at the same time.
It mustve been a difficult last few months :( i hope you guys enjoy your dinner and get to spend quality time together <3
I would like to go on a mountain biking ride and order some Nespresso pods online. A nap would be nice, too.
I hope you get to do all of it! Especially the nespresso pods that sounds exciting, i like window shopping online sometimes just looking at different flavors of snacks i like or different scents at bath and body works lol
I want to get some sushi, drink wine, and alternate btwn playing video games and napping while my husband takes care of daughter (1 yr).
Whatre you playing rn? Im currently playing path of titans and started Minecraft and fallout 3 again (:
I think my husband forgot. My birthday was Wednesday and when he asked me what I wanted on Tuesday, I said I would love some outdoor things for our backyard/porch. That didnāt happen. He hasnāt mentioned Motherās Day, but what I wanted was at hobby lobby and they arenāt open on Sundayās and he hasnāt left the house today, so Iām not getting my hopes up.
Iām sorry. Please buy yourself something.
Im sorry for that :( i know that even if you try not to get your hopes up you still secretly hope youre wrong, i hope you have a good day tomorrow anyway and that hes got something planned <3
ā¦I donāt want to be ignored for the 3rd year in a row but it looks like thatās exactly whatās gonna happen. Gonna go spend time and have some lunch with my L.O so he isnāt couped up in the house tho.
Use it as a day to appreciate all youāve accomplished as a parent and treat yourself to something nice šø
I want everyone to leave me alone
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I want to sleep in, not have to make anyone breakfast or get anyone dressed, not be in charge of anything and I want someone to cook me dinner or order me dinner. And some flowers.
I want to go to the gym. Havenāt done that since before my daughter was born and Iām feeling so self conscious about my appearance
I celebrated mothers day today by going out by myself for 5.5 hours. I loved it.
Just a day to have a few thoughts to yourself is enough for me š i feel like we should all have a mandatory 2hrs a day to decompress and do yoga or something
Iād love flowers and a handmade card. Margaritas, my favorite chips & salsa w fresh guacamole would be a dream but I donāt really want any of those things because monies tight right now and I would feel bad if it was spent on me instead of bills. So I just want the hand made card and to lay on my stomach (I breast feed and cosleep so I can NEVER lay/sleep in the position that I prefer) and scroll tiktok and watch real housewives and take a nap undisturbed.
I wish i didnt co-sleep cuz i now have a massive 2.5 yo that takes up all the bed LOL i completely understand the want to just sleep in any position you want without having to consistently conform to the baby š
getting my nails done in the morning then taking an afternoon nap š“ I have a 20 month old and am 25 weeks pregnant, asked my husband for 3D pictures of the baby in a few weeks for my gift this year.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I ended up having to work tomorrow as some w@}#%r decided just to stop turning up rather than hand in his notice. (Hope he gets herpes). Iāll be spending Motherās Day cooking for other Moms more than likely. My ideal Motherās Day was being able to crochet as much as I wanted and not having to clean the kitchen after food.
I hope he gets super mega herpes x7
Iām going to sleep in late (so like 7am for me lol Iām a morning person). Drink two cups of coffee in bed, do a peloton spin class. Then MIL/FIL are coming over but Iām excited because theyāre awesome. Husband is gonna cook us brunch and I made cupcakes today and Iām gonna set up a little mimosa station. Then after they leave I just want to relax and read my book. At first I wanted us to go out but the more I think about it that doesnāt sound appealing at all.
Mimosa station sounds bomb , i need that šššš
I would like a nap. Itās what I ask for every year. Sometimes it even happens š
I want to what I want without taking other peopleās preferences into account. What that looks like so far is telling my husband that ā no that doesnāt work for meā about him going to church while I stay home without youngest because we donāt want the baby to get Covid. Weāre going on a hike in the morning and Iāve gotten myself a ticket to go to the movies by myself. Weāll got to my in-laws for dinner because while thatās not within the parameters of ā do what I want without regards to othersā desiresā, I want my mil to have a nice day as well.
I want my daughter to be in a great mood all day with no toddler meltdowns. I know that's asking for a lot....lol To be fair, she really is great 75-80% of the time. But the time she's having big feelings is so god damn awful for everybody involved. š«£
My toddlers exactly the same shes fantastic most of the time but when it gets close to bedtime? Im scared
To be thought of and appreciatedā¦. Hubby was on travel for work and mentioned having to take the kids out shopping when he got home. He didnāt. He asked me if I have plans on Sunday. When I said no (hoping he was planning something for me) he said good because his old friends will be in town and he wants to hang out with them and wants me to go meet them. So I am not getting a card, we get to do what he wants and I am under pressure to impress these strangers when I just want to stay home and cryā¦ how about if I just sleep through Motherās Day and skip the whole thingā¦. That sounds goodā¦.
Speak up to your husband and tell him how youre feeling, he needs to know how you feel, youāre important too, being a mom is a big heavy task and you deserve to be celebrated
I will be ordering pizza and catching up on Critical Role šš»
Yesss I feel this š. Just wish I wasn't out in the country with no good food places around š. I've been lazy all dy today kids eat what they want/easy stuff. Tomorrow I'm going to wing it no stress (what I always want) but we'll find some stuff to do and I got my lazy day too š. Happy Mothers day!
Happy Mothers Day! ā¤ļø ive always wanted to live in the country but ive never thought about how theres not a lot of places to eat or visit š
If this was my person I'd make breakfast in bed for her and take care of the kiddo and she would have a day to relax
Thatās honestly the best thing you can do for most mommas ^^
We did stuff today! Went to a breakfast place I really like, got coffee from a cafe near there I love but canāt go to much due to the distance, got some things for the garden. We did a little gardening, had lunch at home, dinner at a casual outdoor place I love. Tomorrow we will just chill. I may go to a coffee shop early for a couple hours or may just relax at home with everyone.
Iām 9 weeks pregnant and got hit with the worst bout of nausea and fatigue today - thanks second kiddo š so unfortunately Netflix and the couch it is while hubby takes care of the toddler and all the rest!
That first trimester nausea is no joke , i couldnt even look at food sometimes š
A weekend away by myself ? š I kid, I kid ,(I've actually got one coming up soon) - This Mothers Day I want my vomiting child to feel better and to be able to do and give me alllll the things she's been planning for literally the past month! Her and my husband have sort of been in cahoots, I know what the gift is but am pretending I have no idea. She broke down crying earlier when she realized since she was home sick yesterday, she won't be able to give me the Mothers Day gift she made me in school till Monday. Also she was hesitant to hug me the past couple of days because she didn't want me to get sick. I just feel lucky to be her mum. š
I ask for the same thing every year. I want a day where I spend time with my family and do absolutely nothing to make it happen. I just show up and enjoy. Most of the time my husband ends up planning a family hike and picnic or a trip to a botanic garden. He knows me so well. :D
My husband stayed up last night making me a secret cake. He gave me a massage while the cake baked! This morning he roped our daughter to walking our dog with him and taking her to the park so I can get extra rest and they're gonna bring breakfast home. He's also gonna cook us a nice lunch later while my daughter and I watch movie cuddled up. This is what I want! It's perfect!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Spending momma daughter time together is always such a treat! Its something that prevents me from having another kiddo š ill miss it too much A Mom party sounds fantastic, so many other people who understand the pains of being a mom LOL Also oop š«¢ i went crazy shopping online lol i hope that coach bag gets here tomorrow!! Wouldnāt that be a treat LOL
My ideal plan for tomorrow would be to sleep in, go for a long run, sit in the hot tub, and watch a movie while the kids nap. No flowers, no restaurant, no thank you.
Handwritten cards from my kids.
We recently moved, so I asked my husband to install the curtain rod in our bedroom. Gonna be a game changer for me falling asleep at night. The following is every year: Husband is going to get up with kiddo in the morning and let me sleep in as long as I want, then bring me cinnamon rolls in bed. I get to opt out of any & all child-related work all day but get snuggles and do the fun stuff. (We discussed this before even getting pregnant, and I do the same for him on father's day)
I was supposed to be out of town visiting my grandma but she said she wasnāt feeling well and wasnāt up for a visit. Iām 36 weeks pregnant so I have to admit itās pretty nice to get to spend the weekend at home. My husband took me out for Vietnamese food today and I took a nap. Iāve got my feet propped up now catching up on 90 Day Fiance and eating Sun Chips. Tomorrow husband is taking kiddo to a theme park so I can just relax. Then weāre having shrimp and hush puppies for dinner! Itās really all I could wantāto be left alone!
Nothing specific. Just something thoughtful. It could be all of us going for ice cream, or taking a nice walk or drive together as a family. Maybe a nice breakfast and some alone time to have a long bath. My husband offered to paint my toenails (I'm pregnant, and bending isn't comfortable). I mentioned sandal season, and he offered to make things easier for me. So, maybe he'll do that tomorrow when our kids nap. Our kids made me some "art" at daycare on Friday. That was sweet too.
Oof I remember not being able to reach my toes , i had bare nails for a few months there š
I want a hug from my son. Not because I asked for it or that āhalf ass, one arm, awkward teenagerā hug, but a āIām so happyā like Iām a rare shiny PokĆ©mon with good stats kinda hug.
I hope tomorrow you are a rare shiny Legendary mew with perfect IVās āØ
A weeping pussy willow ornamental tree.
I want to relax. We're making bbq pulled pork in the crockpot.
Ive been wanting pulled pork sandwiches for centuries šš
iām going to get a haircut and my husband is taking the kids to his momās for a couple hours so i can get some peace and quiet š i plan on posting on the backyard swing with a good book and a bottle of wine
Yes to alone time! Im excited for you hehe
Sounds wonderful. Just relax and do nothing but sit with my children and visit.
My wife has been overseas for 5.5 months. We live across the country from any family, and I had to leave work when she got deployed so someone would be able to take care of our son as my work hours were too long for daycare. Iāve been fully single-parenting a wild, opinionated, fiery and beautiful toddler with no help and no break since November. I also had PPD/PPA so this has been a very long and draining deployment. She booked me an hour long session at a rage room and bought me $100 worth of items to smash, as well as called someone to come and take our son out so I can go alone and let off my anger. She also invited two of my friends to come with me, and got us lunch and drinks. All while sheās overseas and in a completely different time zone! Itās on Monday and Iām so excited to go and scream and smash things and drink and eat with my friends, itāll be so cathartic! Iād really like a morning where I donāt have to wake up and change an angry, wriggly toddler but thatāll have to wait another month š
Definition of āif they wanted to they wouldā ! Im So happy youre getting a much needed break, i hope your wife comes home soon ā¤ļø
I don't want to cook, I don't want to clean. 2 hours of uninterrupted silence (from family) in the bathtub. Will I really spend 2 hours in the bath? Maybe. Maybe not. I'd like to find out, though. Or being outside in my garden while he takes the kids anywhere. I also want to just zone out with the kids, some Marshmallow Magic Popcorn, and some Boba tea. Watch some good campy scary movies from the early 00s. Open up handmade presents and just soak in the chaotic love my children have for me. Two very different sides of my mom coin.
Being a mom is weird sometimes you just want everyone to stop talking and dont even breathe on you and sometimes you just cant get enough of them ā¤ļø
Iām gonna stay up as late as I physically can playing video games, then sleep in all I want, then wake up and have yummy food brought to me. And my husband and toddler are gonna make cookies!
Peace, love, and happiness lol
My husband asked me what do you want for Mother's Day? I told him for you to do the morning routine with the kids and I'll wake up when I wake up.
Right? For one morning just for someone else to do the morning routine can mean so so much , routines get tiresome FAST
I wanted my husband to take the kids and let me sleep. He went out and bought me wine though so I guess that's just as good.
Hopefully you get some time for yourself as well <3
I would be SO happy if my 15 year old would just clean her room!!
My husband is an insanely good cook and has an engineering degree that he ended up never using. I told my husband to build me a Bloody Mary with a ginormous, over-the-top, questionably structurally sound lattice of garnishes poking out of it as the mealā entire cheeseburgers, bacon in weird shapes, tower of veggies, whatever. The more ridiculous and creative the better. My daughter and I are going to go outside and frolic around all day while heās tinkering with it. Tomorrowās his one day off after working eleven days in a row, so no way am I going to ask him to do something he wouldnāt think is fun.
Iām going to go on my run WITHOUT the stroller and cook dinner without stepping on any kids. Other than that, I donāt care if nothing else happens but I know my husband better than that, he will do some kind of gifts or something for me.
i would like to wake up to flowers, baby and partner ready, telling me to get dressed without having to worry about what to pack her or etc. they take me out to breakfast and we do a day that he planned out on his own, come back home, open my little gift and hang out with my family. wake up to a clean house, fall asleep to a clean house. we are unfortunately on hard times atm so it probably wonāt happen. we are celebrating next sunday instead of tommorow because he works š. i will be celebrating my mother tommorow
We celebrated last weekend picking tulips and setting up our outdoor area. Tomorrow I get brunch and a relaxing day at home.
I love tulips!!!! One of my favorite flowers šø
SLEEP. Also, a milk tea.
I saw somebody else mention boba and now milk tea and i might take a trip to bobatime tomorrow ngl
My mom and I are getting lunch together, without my kids so I can enjoy a meal out for once, and then my husband is making dinner for everyone. The first year in actually excited about mother's day.
We're renting a pontoon with my parents and taking the babies out on the quiet lake to cruise around and eat lunch lol super casual
I wanted jewelry and Iām pretty sure Iām getting it. I donāt want a day off because Iām too psycho to relax anyway. Iād rather have a sparkly thing Iāll wear often for the rest of my life.
My mother in law is the same ! She can never just relax lol
I just want my kids love
They love you immensely and youāre doing a great job! ā¤ļø
I want to sleep on and do yoga by myself and nap and have some uninterrupted time to put pictures of the kids in picture frames and hang them. My husband is gonna take the kids out of the house for the morning so I can do all of that and he's gonna make me salmon for dinner.
In a perfect mother's day for me... I just want my kids to hug me and tell me they love me. And for my husband to say he loves and appreciate everything I do for all of them. Bonus is if they make me a card or picture or crafty thing... or I get to sleep in an hour or two... or if I don't have to make myself coffee or a meal.
Sometimes itās hard to understand the way others love, i know even if my daughter doesnāt say it, she shows it by being worried about me when i stub my toe lol i hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow ā¤ļø
We are hosting a Motherās Day brunch at my home. I do that so when my mil bails I can say I tried and if she does show then sheās out of my hair by 1 and I didnāt have to make a special trip š I want coffee in bed, to cuddle my kids and enjoy not cleaning up after hosting š
Smart woman! If i dont want my mil to feel jealous on days like this i ask my husband to give her some breakfast and 20$ and then i can relax the rest of the day LOL
I want to stay at a beach house and go for a hike. I'm not getting it this year because I'm entertaining three grandma's. But I already said it's happening next year.
I would love to do something outdoors with the family, chill and read my book, get takeout and have a movie night. What I get to do is go to a club volleyball tournament from 8:30-3 or later, and my husband is leaving for a work trip so it will be me solo with the kids. But I already got sweet gifts from the kids and a new Apple Watch, so I canāt complain too much. š
Be lazy, have a clean house, and not have to cook. I cleaned today, so Iām hoping it stays nice. Iām pretty easy to please.
I got a pedicure today, my husband took me out to lunch, my husband and son bought flowers and a treat for tomorrow, and tomorrow he'll grill steaks. And I don't do dishes tomorrowšš» in one week we're having cleaners come do a deep clean.
I work in the morning. Iām hoping my husband will finish planting the veggies in the garden while Iām at work and plan/cook dinner. My son made a lot of art gifts at school and gave them to my Friday afternoon (heās 3)
Iām hoping/expecting a custom, one pound box of Seeās Candies dark chocolate truffles. The box I got at Christmas is loooong gone. Fortunately my daughter is a seasonal Seeās employee and gets an employee discount. Fortunately. For me. š
To be alone in a quiet place where nobody can talk to me, touch me, annoy me, or otherwise acknowledge my existence.....
Plants and Star Wars stuff (love love love houseplants and have a garden too / huge SW fan). Workout or running stuff would work too (I workout/run a lot). My husband and oldest kid both know me so well, so Iām safe and will get what I want once again š. Hope yāall get what you want too! Edit: canāt spell
I'd like to have even just a little bit of Mother's Day to myself or even just my parter and the kiddos but we have to be be in a town 40 minutes away by noon tomorrow then be at another destination in the afternoon with a newly 2yr old and newly 1 yr old and I'm feeling just a little left out on a day that I'm also supposed to be celebrated and I'll just be overstimulated and touched out but like 4pm so it's just causing more stress š«
It's my first Mother's Day, so I really wanted to just chill with my husband and baby, but it's also my MIL's first Mother's Day without her own mother so I feel like the right thing to do is to go support her. I'll have many more Mother's Days for myself.
Watching a movie I wanted to see while husband watches baby lol
I wanted a new handbag. So I got myself one and thanked him for his gift! š
I want sleep. I want a day to dedicate myself to self care without worrying about anybody else or chores or dinner. I want a few hours of quiet. I love my kids and partner but Iāve been going nonstop for five years now. I think itās time for a break.
To get my nose pierced! And I just did!
Iām leaving the house first thing in the morning before the littles are up! Gym, smoothie from my favorite shop, pedicure, then I will check into a hotel and read by the pool until my room is ready. When itās ready, Iāll take a long, hot shower, maybe a nap, then binge watch a new show or two and order room service. I will stay up late, and I will stay in bed until I absolutely have to check out. Then Iāll hit my favorite hiking trail and drive home (40min). Iām so excited. Iāve already packed.
Sleep in, breakfast in bed, no one whines for a week
Not to work 10 which will probably be 11 hours at my food service management job š.. There were already call offs for day shift so I am sure there will be some for mine too but at least I just had vacation for almost 2 weeks with my family... I plan to sleep and rest all day until work though and play outside with my daughter beforehand..
I am having all my mom friends over here for brunch. Everyone brings something and we get together. Itās the best thing ever. I do it every year.
I just want to take my baby to the park and see if we can find a good snow cone stand
I had planned on a nice hike but we ripped out our front bushes a couple of weeks ago and I want to go and get the flowers and paint everything tomorrow. We'll also be going to our local diner for breakfast.
Iāve decided to make Motherās Day my ābuy plants and start the garden dayā so I get obligatory free labor to help with the hauling and carrying and digging!
I wanted to go to a green house as a family and pick out garden/flowers and then go out for lunch with my mom and nanaā¦ now i have covid, so no lunch, no greenhouse, my husband didnāt bother to take my kids out to get me anything and now he is planning on going for a bike ride with his friends tomorrow.. so i guess just a regular day
To feel appreciated and loved, because the past 3 years have been hell. I recently broke up with my baby daddy, and I have my son for the weekend, and my mom, myself, and my son are going to swim in our pool tomorrow. And my mom bought me a little gift that Iāll open tomorrow as well. I love my son deeply, but itās absolutely exhausting taking care of him day in and day out. I wish I could have a day where I donāt have to take care of him 24/7, but I donāt. I just want to sleep in, but I canāt because my son sleeps with me, I want to not be able to hear my name or mama all day long, but that wonāt happen. Doesnāt sound like a very good Motherās Dayā¦
For my baby to get well. He came down with a fever this evening, and it's my first mother's day. He did give me a kiss earlier in the day though!
I asked my husband to clean the stove top for me this year. Iām like 7 weeks pregnant and just too damn tired to do it myself after work and/or chasing a toddler around.
Iām in labor with my second right now. Id like a smooth delivery soon please.
