Dear Husband,
It’s that time of year again. Mother’s Day is this weekend and I’m sure you’re scrambling, to come up with something really special for the woman in your life. You know, the one who takes care of you, your children, your household, without thinking of herself. Yes, that amazing lady in your life will be celebrated on Sunday and you’re probably thinking….. crap! I procrastinated, again.
Fear not, dear husband, because I have the most epic solution for you. In fact, you will be a hero … dare I say, legendary … if you follow my free advice.
Are you ready for it?
Just leave your wife the hell alone. That goes for your children too. Tell them to get lost.
Brutal? Perhaps.
Stunning? Maybe.
Are you confused? Probably.
Allow me to spell it out for you. Here are 15 reasons why Moms want to be left the hell alone on Mother’s Day.
- Moms want to use the bathroom in peace.
- Moms want to not have to make 5 different breakfasts, only to clean up to make way for lunch.
- Moms don’t want to change diapers. News flash, I know.
- Moms want to watch a 1-hour Netflix shows in less than 6 hours. That means no interruptions.
- Moms want to walk through the house without silently whispering to herself: WTF HAPPENED IN HERE!?
- Moms want to take a bubble bath without an audience.
- Moms might want to have a mimosa at 10 AM or a coke or whatever her poison.
- Moms don’t want to have to referee the screaming, hitting, fighting, crying and whining.
- Moms want to go to Target without an entourage of hood rats running down the aisles, hiding in clothes racks, screaming at the top of their lungs about body parts. Yes, husband, moms want to go to Target ALONE.
- Moms want a clean house. Sure, they may clean up the house the night before Mother’s Day but since you and the children are leaving her the hell alone she won’t have to pick up another Lego, Barbie shoe or your dirty socks for the rest of the day.
- Moms want to lounge in their yoga pants without judgement. Or maybe a mom wants to get dressed up without the glaring eyes of a child followed by: “whoa! mom! where are we going?!”
- Moms want to binge on candy without hiding in the closet.
- Moms want to sleep. Not sleep like a baby, because moms know babies don’t sleep. Moms want to sleep like you, husband.
- Moms don’t want to have to spend 2.5 hours trying to get the kids to bed. Moms don’t like it when the “I love you too” goes from the voice Mary Poppins to Batman in 10 seconds.
- Moms don’t want to feel the guilt. That means if you’re going to give the lucky lady in your life this day of luxury, don’t make her feel as though she owes you until the kids are 18.
So there you have it, dear husband. The simplest, greatest gift you could give the amazing mom in your life. And think of it this way, you and the children can enjoy a wonderful day together. I’m sure the children will obey and not make crazy demands. I know they won’t fight, scream or cry. They will be the perfect little angels that they are.
After all, mom knows best.
