A big “AMEN” from the peanut gallery.

I completely agree. I have a very strong hatred for Valentine’s Day for very similar reasons. Let me sleep in on a Saturday, read alone quietly for a couple hours or bring me a hot cup of coffee when you see I’m out – that is all I want for Mother’s Day. Okay add a ton of hugs & kisses from the wee one and I’m content.

You are spot on today!

Too true. For the most part, my husband does an excellent job telling me what a great Mama I am on a regular basis. Now… If I could just get him to put that last cereal bowl in the dishwasher, we’d be golden.

HELL yes. this is exactly why i really don’t celebrate MD (just like i don’t celebrate VD and let’s face it, isn’t EVERY day father’s day?). i’ll send my mother a nice card because she expects it, but as for me–if you can only show your appreciation and love for me one day out of the freakin’ year, we have a problem.

You have much wisdom! Mother’s Day has long been my LEAST favorite holiday. Not because of the way my husband has taught my kids to honor me, but because my mother still (bless her heart) wants it to be about her. I usually end up having a “group” dinner with my sisters and my mother (where we all do something). My long-suffering MIL gets leftovers (because my husband usually is the only brother trying to do anything for her) and I get no day at all after we’ve tried to spend the day making the “retired moms” happy. My kids don’t get to be creative thinkers on my behalf because the day still belongs to my mother. Lucky for me, my husband is the kind of thoughtful guy of which you speak. He cooks, does dishes, vacuums, irons his own shirts (slowly) and folds clothes. I’ve got no complaints in that department.
