Mother's Day, a day to basically celebrate women. Women deserve to be celebrated but man are you very hard to please lol I'm very sorry gentlemen. We want one thing bug then we change our minds. We never seem to be happy (not all of us)
A lot of charts you run into might say the number 1 thing mothers want on Mother's Day is to not have to be around the little things that made us mothers. Isn't that kind of crazy.
It's sad if you think about it but it it also makes sense because if your job is being a mother 24/7 the one thing you might want is a break from that HUGE responsibility. Even though we love it and it makes us who we are...mothers!! It also wears us down.
Mother's Day is the day where you should actually celebrate your children and do things with them that day because they are the amazing beings who gave you the title of mother.
But if you asked me what number one thing I want for Mother's Day I would probably say to not be a mother for 1 day, to escape for a whole day. It gives us time to regroup and when we come back to our babies we are ready for the next 364 days tell the next Mother's Day lol
When I'm gone from my babies I learn to appreciate and love them even more when I return <3
No matter what we are given that day we should be grateful and not picky and accept the beautiful gesture because our children are the best gift(s) we could be given and nothing could top that (while typing that it made me think of my friends who aren't able to have children and I hurt for them but doesn't mean their lives are less full, they can experience motherhood in other ways, being a parent to animals or being a motherly explain to a child(ren) who don't have great examples, just being there for any child)
There are all these articles and things you will read about how you should do this or that or say this or that, those articles and advice can be helpful but in the end every child is different and once you have your child you will learn who they are and what they need and that watching and listening to them and what makes them happy is what matters not what other people say. I know my child better then any other mom (advice from others can be helpful at times though) that's why I'm their mom and no one else is. Even though there will always be times that I still don't understand or no what they want, we eventually learn in trial and error :)
No one else can calm my kids like a hug or kiss from their own mommy
Isaac made me a mom! He is shy at first but very sweet and loves to laugh. He loves movies, the outdoors, and playing with daddy and mommy especially playing peek a boo/ scaring people "rawr". He has a sweet tooth like his mommy and loves to sit on our laps and watch a movie. And one thing that comforts him is his puppy and blankets. He loves to help me when I'm doing chores and will give kisses and hugs only when he wants to. My blonde hair blue eyed boy! (These are just a few things I've learned)
Jackson made me a mommy again! He is my very smiley boy who loves attention, especially face to face talking and facial expressions. He is a wiggling machine. Anything and everything goes in his mouth (he would eat me if he could fit me in his mouth lol) My chunky brown haired hazel eyed boy!
I may get frustrated with them sometimes but I always have moments when I look at them and just fall in love with them ALL over again and I'm so proud to be their mom!
Maybe this Mother's Day we can celebrate the little ones (or big ones) who made us mothers!
Let me say happy Mother's Day to my sweet mom. I'm honored to be her child and know she is my mom for a reason. We've had our ups an downs a lot more ups since I turned 18 and grew up more but I aspire to be a mom like her. And she is the first person I go to for advice in what to do for my kids (next to my loving husband of course) she's a fantastic grandma as well and loves her grandchildren, my boys LOVE going to see Grandma Nielsen!
And happy Mother's Day to my mother in law, she did a pretty fantastic job at raising Spencer and I'm so glad that i have a great mother in law and who loves my boys too! And it's awesome to see my kids recognize you and are happy to see you even though we aren't able to see you as much as we would like to.
and of course without my amazing husband things wouldn't balance out when it came to parenting our boys together <3
Enjoy your day and your children!
Happy Mother's Day!
