Mother’s Day – is it better without the kids?

Posted May 14, 2008 at 11:43AM by Sticky_Mommy
I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!

 

 

Disclaimer: I might be self indulgent and selfish.

 

Yes, I LOVE my children and love playing with them and watching them interact with the world, however…I wish I could have slept in past 7:30 on Mother’s Day. Feel me? And really maybe the day wasn’t focused on me enough. I was very happy to get breakfast in bed, thrilled to get my new necklace made by my daughter, but then we got on with our day like we would any Sunday. Ran some errands, went to the park, ate left over’s. It was a really lovely day spent with my family and of course without them I wouldn’t be a Mother.

 

I needed more doting, more accolades, more foot rubbing. Should Mother’s Day be spent with the kids part of the day and then you bail so you can have some time solo?

  Where am I and what have they done to my body?

I hear ya and I know what you are saying. Our day was spent celebrating all the mom's in our life but I spent way too much time in the kitchen and cleaning up. Guess a mother's work is never really done and Mother's day is more of a hallmark holiday than we want to admit. But boy did I love getting my first handmade card and the excitement on my little guy's face when he handed it to me. You can't buy that anywhere. :)

That photo is great! And of course we all love them more when they're asleep and not arguing with us - kidding (almost). Maybe next time your Mom could be there, and you could take turns being pampered......?

Certainly not. Kids are cute and they have brought in lot of joy into our lives. No doubt they get cranky and messy and naughty but thats their growing phase. Mothers Day is celebrated by mothers worldwide to show off the fact that they are mothers then why not celebrate with the kids.

great pic. no...do whatever you want it's your day...just don't go on a weekend vacation with another man (unless divorced, different story). that's about where I'd draw the line. :)

Yes....totally. Mother's should have a quite house to sleep late, coffee and breakfast waiting for them around 11am and then dh and child(ren) arrive back home around 3pm and child(ren) in bed by 8pm.
I hear ya.
