Mother’s Day is around the corner, and if you are looking for ways to make it memorable for your mom, here are we to help.
A Redditor asked, Moms of Reddit: What do you want for Mother’s Day? Here is what Mother’s want
1. A Day Without Complaints
“Just a day where I get home from work, they’ve done their chores, and they aren’t bickering over nothing. It’s not a lot.”
2. Uninterrupted Sleep
“I’d just be excited to get uninterrupted sleep for a night.”
3. A Clean House
“A clean house, a long nap, and not having to see my mother-in-law this year. It always turns into her day, but I’m a mom too.”
“Someone to come deep clean my house.”
4. A Day With Family
“I want to go to the park with my husband and son. Maybe go out for lunch somewhere together. And I don’t want to be the one to have to initiate things we do together as a family.”
“I don’t care about gifts of any kind, permanent or perishable. If I want something I’ll buy it myself.
I just want us to spend some time together. It could be anything you want as long as we get to interact. It’s not just because I want the company, though I do appreciate that. I want to see how much you’ve grown since the last Mother’s Day. I wouldn’t be doing my job as a mother unless I were helping someone mature.
I’d want to know how you’ve been in the last year, what you plan to do in the future, how you think I’ve been as a parent, or anything that we haven’t talked about before. If there’s anything you’ve learned with or without me, that makes me proud. If there’s anything you can teach me, more power to you. Seeing my children grow up to be good and reasonable people means more than anything else to me.”
5. Don’t Want To Plan
“This needs to get more attention! I don’t want to plan Mother’s Day. That’s literally all. I’ll take damn near anything so long as I have nothing to do with making it happen!!!”
“Oh, this SO much. ‘What do you want, where do you want to go, where do you want to eat, etc. ’ still requires ME to do all the planning basically. I don’t care if I get food from a place that I think is only mediocre as long as it magically appears in front of me.”
6. Champagne
“Someone to cook me dinner while I sit on the couch with a drink.”
7. A Day Off
“A day off. But a proper day off, where they actually take care of everything I do, so it’s not just do nothing on mothers day do twice as much to catch up the day after
eta: my husband does his share as a father, but I’m a stay at home mom, so, yeah lol”
8. Eat An Ice Cream Without Hiding and Sharing
“To not have to hide in the bathroom to eat ice cream or sweets by myself. My 3 year old can hear the wrapper on a Klondike bar from a mile away.”
9. Massage
“Gift voucher for a massage, a clean house and the lawns mowed. And a charcuterie board and a bottle of paired white wine all to myself.”
“As a new mom (three weeks). I’ve been jonesing for a massage. Sitting in awkward positions for feedings and pumping has done a number on my back and to get away for an hour or so and get pampered (especially since I couldn’t lay on my stomach for the last however many months lol) would be a treat.”
10. Silence
11. Solo Trip
I could just relax without worrying about when my relaxation would be interrupted by my husband and kid coming home and needing help with stuff or attention.
Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with them and shower them with attention and cuddles, but I really miss having uninterrupted me time without having to worry about getting texts asking me where something is or if we have milk or whatever or watching the clock wondering how much time I have left.”
12. Staycation
“One night in a hotel to sleep….and to come home to a clean house that wasn’t cleaned by me.”
13. Sleep and Wake Up Naturally
“To wake up naturally, just once. I’d love it if I could just sleep and not have to get up to my daughter yelling out, or my alarm, or my fiancé coming in to ask me something when he’s offered to get up early with our kid. Just one day to wake up properly when my body decides its time to wake.”
14. Professional Car Detailing
“Get my car professionally detailed. There are McDonald’s chicken nuggets stuffed so deep into the seats I’m pretty sure they’re mummified. Don’t just take it to the gas station down the road.
I want someone to take out the quarters cemented to the bottom of my cupholder from sticky Starbucks drinks.”
15. Family Photo Session
“Family photo session without having to organize everything myself.
Call a photographer (get recommendations from my friends if you need help). Get the kids ready – clothing chosen way in advance and make sure that the outfit choices are comfortable and attractive. And for god sake, smile and act cheerful. It’s one hour you have to pretend to like each other.”
16. Take The Load Off
“For someone to take over the mental load. My son has ADHD and rides the spectrum. My mother has Alzheimers.
For 1 day, I would love to leave the house knowing that there was someone there to keep them both safe, without me having to call several times a day to access the situation.”
17. Binge Watch TV
“I want to binge watch junk TV in a comfy bed while playing mindlessly on my phone and sip a nice drink. With no one interrupting or complaining.”
