The truth about Mother's Day

**WARNING** The honesty in the words written below might piss you off. This post might reveal your dirty little secret about what you really want for Mother’s Day. This post might make you feel like a bad mom, selfish and ungrateful.


If it does then GET OVER IT! It is time we take a stand, come clean about what we would really like for Mother’s day.

Join hands, Hold our heads up high and Scream:

We do not want BREAKFAST in BED

We do not want FLOWERS

We do not want to spend the day doing any sort of family activity

What we want is for you (fathers) to take the children and get the hell out of our faces.

Seriously >>> LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE

Better yet – GET US OUT OF THE HOUSE

Book a room at a hotel and send us there with a few other moms.

It is Mother’s day right? Not “Let me be a Mother some more” Mother’s Day

Maybe it should be named “Keep these kids away from me this day because I am pretty sure that you will not be dragging the kids to the golf course on FATHER’S day DAY”

That actually might be too long to fit on a calendar but you totally get the meaning.

The other thing that would be great is to come home after The most Perfect “not your mother” Mother’s Day and the house be in one piece. Each room cleaned, kids fed, laundry done, teeth brushed, homework finished.

Don’t hide behind your Mother Guilt any longer.

When asked “What would you like for Mother’s Day?”

Answer “A big hug, a sloppy Kiss and a hotel key card.”

Holy hell this cracks me up!!! That is TOTALLY what I want..."me" time; time alone; to get out of the house BY MYSELF!!! And if he could provide all of that while I'm lounging and being pampered at the spa...then he MIGHT just get what he truly wants for father's day!

You have nailed it! My BEST Mother's Day by far was nearly child and husband free. The night before the Hubby and I went to a concert and stayed overnight at a hotel across from the venue (we knew we wouldn't be driving home after NIN & Jane's Addiction). Kiddo was staying with the Mother-in-law hours away. On Mother's Day I got breakfast out (sans Kiddo) and relaxed by the pool at home while Hubby spent the day with his Mom and retrieved Kiddo. Quiet, blissful heaven...

Are you psychic? How did you know what I wanted most for Mother's Day?

Candace Reedy said...

I totally agree, its Mothers Day, not their day and we should get a break from all of the husbands and children. Yeah Anna for saying everything we all wanted to say.
