Better Than Newlyweds

Where the Honeymoon never ends!

What Moms Actually Want for Mother’s Day! | Stacy Hudson | Better Than Newlyweds

April 25, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching! (Sunday, May 8) Here’s what real moms say they want for Mother’s Day from their husbands and kids this year… are you taking notes, guys? I am writing this to help out moms AND those who want to shower them with Love on Mother’s Day! I know that according to TV shows, commercials, and magazines… mom wants a HUGE bouquet of flowers and TONS of chocolate annnnd also a diamond necklace of course…. maybe even a car! They are WRONG! I am sure that mom exists somewhere… but she is not the norm. 🙂  (However, if someone wants to give me a car… I’ll take it! 😉 )

What Moms actually want for mothers day is… A BREAK!

What Moms actually want for mother’s day is… A BREAK! We want (and I think in a lot of cases need) a chance to rest and maybe even do something we Love. We Love our kids. We Love spending time with them and teaching them. We Love watching them grow and learn new things. We Love changing their diapers… well no not really. We Love cleaning up vomit and poop… well again… no not really. The list of “no not really” things consists of all the “have to do” things that come with being a mom. Things like carting the heavy car seat to the car… inside the destination… back out to the car… and back into the house… and that’s just one trip… imagine making several stops… it is exhausting. Motherhood is exhausting. So pay close attention to the list below from moms… and give Mom a break this year! She will be blessed and so will our marriage.

“No present needed for me…I would just like to be alone in my home with no guilt or pressure to be doing anything wife or motherly. While hubby is out with the kids giving me a few hours of peace, he could be doing a little grocery shopping picking up the items needed to prepare my favorite dinner. Then he and the kids can completely prepare, cook and clean up dinner.”

“Being able to sleep in, take a shower and get ready for the day (without stopping a million times), 3 meals cooked and cleaned up, an outing that someone else has planned and packed snacks for OR a day at the spa.”

“A reservation at a hotel (doesn’t even have to be “nice”) with a tub and room service! Maybe even with girl friends! Leave the hubbys in charge!”

“Hotel stay with spouse or alone. Or just a day at home alone.”

“Just being with my husband and no pressure of “motherly” duties other then feeding my daughter and cuddling her, he does EVERYTHING else that Day.”

“Being able to plant flowers all day!”

For those moms whose children are grown… their answers were a little different:

“What I want most is to spend quality time with my sons. I love for them to attend church with me on Mother’s Day. Also enjoy going out for a nice meal with my family on Mother’s Day.”

“Time spent alone with my husband out on the motorcycle and just being out enjoying the day.”

If you know the Mom in your life is sentimental and likes to make memories and special moments… read these suggestions: 

“I just want something handmade and/or thoughtful from my kid (soon to be kids) that I can look back on in 5, 10, 20 years and remember that particular stage in their life. Some kind of keepsake.”

“We get season tickets to the water park for our family. Delivered flowers, dinner, and a gift is about the same money wise but this gift last all season! And the memories we make as a family far out weigh the “oooooh those flowers are pretty!” comments at work.”

“I get charms for my locket. Cheap. Easy. And the boys pick the charm- special to them= special to me.”

 

“The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Exodus 33:14

 

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God in all my remembrance of you”

 Philippians 1:2-3
