Mother’s Day.
It’s billed as the ultimate celebration of the work of mothers.
And in a society that often gives so little acknowledgement, this one day takes on big importance: a recognition of how much you’ve given to others throughout the rest of the year.
We want the day to be perfect.
But so often, it’s a major letdown. A source of strife, even.
No, the Mother’s Day hangover isn’t what you get from too many mimosas at brunch (okay, well, that’s one kind of hangover).
We’re talking about the emotional hangover.
The nagging feelings of sadness, resentment, or downright anger that can follow you around after a disappointing Mother’s Day.
A big part of it? That mothers are offered so little in return for a year of hard work at home.
A nice brunch and a homemade thank you card are so small in comparison to all you do. So, when you don’t even get that, how are you supposed to react?!
Whether your Mother’s Day was a day to remember for all the right reasons or all the wrong ones, tune in for an exploration of what mothers truly deserve, and how we can get more of it.
