Mother’s Day is coming very soon. Although not all of us have the best relationship with our mothers, we have to admit our mothers have done so much for us. How do we show them that we appreciate her efforts and care for her? The least we can do is celebrate them, but what else?
Many mothers find it hard to believe that their children love their existence, and we can’t really blame them nor can we blame their children. Mothers can be so (I’m sorry for saying this) toxic sometimes – we can’t pressure children to just accept it, it’s so unhealthy and degrading.
My message to people with mommy issues: Baby, it’s okay if you’re not ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this year, it’s okay if you’re not emotionally strong enough to spend time with your mother this year. Trust me, it’s okay. I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive her, okay sweetheart? I understand if you don’t want to do anything for Mother’s Day, I wish you will at least send her a short text, but you don’t have to, alright? You’re precious and I wish your mother will see it one day.
To everyone who wants to prove to their mothers how much they value them, you need to try:
- Spend time doing things your mother loves. Bake cookies with her, or watch her favorite shows together; do anything as long as it makes her happy.
- Hug your mother. She deserves the hug. Kiss her forehead, kiss her cheek. Let her know you’ve been wanting to hug and kiss her since forever.
- Give her one or more gifts; a simple card at least – she will cherish the gift for the rest of her life.
- Ask her to tell you stories. Listen to her with obvious interest.
- Do something simple but memorable. Make coffee for her, tell her she looks amazing, lay a comforter on her while she’s sleeping.
Eternally Chanel wishes you and your mother a very Happy Mother’s Day.
