From The Confessional: ‘All I Want On Mother’s Day Is A Break’

All I want on Mother’s Day is a break from mothering

I want to be left alone with my dogs and champagne 🍾 

I wish it wasn’t a holiday. There’s no such thing as a day off for moms. I don’t want all the nonsense.

Others think I’m strange; I want to spend every moment on M’s Day with my kiddo

All I want is to be alone & not made to feel guilty

I hate the ‘mother’s day’ gifts my kids bring back from school...please.stop.

I’m a mom and I can’t bring myself to care about this holiday.

I flush the breakfast-in-bed my kids make down the toilet and pretend it was delicious.

I want to spend 24 hours alone in a luxury hotel room with a view

There’s too much pressure and I’m always disappointed

Mixed emotions. Nothing was good enough for my own mom. Makes it hard to enjoy it as a mom myself.

I don’t want to entertain my mom or MIL on Mother’s Day.

Last year he slept in while I woke up with the kids and I’m still pissed about it

Pretty sure my husband doesn’t know when mother’s day is

All I want for Mother’s Day is to be alone with a glass of wine and a good book.

Faking sick to avoid MIL

I want to spend the day alone. No husband. No kids. Leave.me.be.

I like to hang out by myself on Mother’s Day, my relationship w my mom is too complicated

I hate it! My husband thinks it’s my job to plan and execute special plans. 😒 

The ideal Mother’s Day is when hubby takes the kids and goes away for the weekend.

I have to plan events for my mom and mother-in-law and it’s just a day of more work for me.

Whyyy do I always have to give ideas for a gift..

My mom passed 3 months ago and I am dreading Mother’s Day.

I always feel guilty saying I want to be left alone. But man, I just want to be alone.

It’s my first Mothers Day and I refuse to spend it with my MIL

I HATE Mother’s Day since my mom died. Worst grief day of the year.

I want everyone to do for me what I do for them the other 364

I hate that Mother’s Day is more for grandmothers. I need this day more than they do :(

I don’t want to have to plan my own Mother’s Day.

I’m usually serving my grown kids dinner on Mother’s Day

I hate mothers day as it is the day my mom died 15 years ago... the last day I felt truly known by anyone

While a homemade card with my kids’ handprints is sweet, I just want a spa day alone. Give me time off!

Pretty sure I should just plan my own Mother’s Day or risk not doing anything at all 🫤

I want everyone to do all the work I do daily for Mother’s Day. Cook, clean, organize!!

I wish my husband and kids would do something nice without me always instigating

I feel guilty being celebrated when my best friend was never able to have a baby

For MD I just want everyone to leave me alone for 8 hours straight

It’s yet another holiday I need to organize.

I act chill about mother’s day but I really want hubs to spoil me and only me, but also leave me alone.
