The Only Thing I Really Want for Mother’s Day
As Mother’s Day approaches, fathers and kids everywhere are gearing up for the big day, scouring shops for that ideal gift. Some are buying pancake mix, fresh berries, and fancy coffee to whip up breakfast in bed. Others might wash the car, treat her to dinner, or surprise her with concert tickets she’s been eyeing. There will be heartfelt cards from partners, little ones crafting hand-made poems, and teens might even muster a genuine hug and a “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.”
But, honestly, none of these things are what moms truly want this Sunday. At least, I know they aren’t what I want.
I don’t crave solitude with a box of chocolates, the TV remote, and a blissfully quiet house. And I certainly don’t need to be pampered as if I’ve just returned from a spa retreat. What I really want is simple: I want to hear that I’m doing this motherhood thing right. That’s it. Just a little reassurance would mean the world to me.
Remember those early days of being a mom? The sleepless nights filled with crying babies and overwhelming uncertainty? The first time your little one smiled at you was probably the moment you felt like, “Okay, I might be doing something right.” For me, that smile was like a light bulb moment, a little reminder that I was on the right path.
But as time goes on, it’s easy to forget those moments and feel like you’re just treading water. I need to hear those encouraging words more often, not just once a year on Mother’s Day. I need them on days when I’m at my lowest. When I’m exhausted and feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, I need someone to say, “You’re doing it right.”
When I’ve spent what feels like an eternity flipping pancakes, packing lunches, and serving meals that kids might not even appreciate yet, I need to hear, “You’re doing it right.” On nights when I collapse into bed, replaying my day’s mistakes, all I want is to be reassured that I’m still on the right track.
So, let’s make this Mother’s Day about more than just flowers and breakfast in bed. If you have your mom around, give her a call and say, “You did it right.” If you know a single or struggling mom, take a moment to tell her, “You’re doing it right.” And when you see that young mom in the grocery store looking frazzled, just a simple pat on the back and the words, “You’re doing it right,” could make all the difference.
This goes for all the special moms out there—whether you’re a mom of kids with special needs, or you’re a friend expecting her first child. Let’s uplift each other and spread the message that we’re all doing our best. Happy Mother’s Day to every mom out there who’s ever doubted herself. You’re doing it right.
