You’ve probably heard the saying, “happy wife, happy life,” and it rings true, doesn’t it? But here’s another truth: a happy MOM is an absolute game-changer! That’s why Mother’s Day has always struck me as a bit amusing—not in a laughing way, but in the sense of, “Why am I still tackling the day-to-day chaos on MY special day?” Honestly, it’s more frustrating than funny.
Now, I know some of you might be ready to type out your critical comments (I see you!). You’re thinking I should be grateful because not everyone has the gift of motherhood, and sure, I get that! But let’s be real: I appreciate my role all year long. Why must we feel the weight of it all on the one day that’s meant for us? Enter the concept of the pre-Mother’s Day Mother’s Day.
A wonderful friend of mine introduced me to this idea about five years ago, and it changed my perspective entirely. She and her friends gather at this gorgeous resort near the beach the day before Mother’s Day, indulging in champagne all day long. In the sunshine. Without kids. Some even treat themselves to massages! At the end of the day, some of them hop in cabs while others choose to stay the night at the resort.
Now, for those of you who are still skeptical, I know what you’re thinking. Mother’s Day is fantastic, and I’m not trying to diminish that. From breakfast in bed to handcrafted gifts made with love, all those sweet gestures make the daily grind worthwhile. But let’s not overlook the sheer joy of a PRE-MOTHER’S DAY MOTHER’S DAY.
Dads, Pay Attention!
This is a surefire way to score major points. Yes, I’m practically shouting about the perks of pre-Mother’s Day. I shouldn’t even have to spell it out for you, right? Just think: a little extra effort can go a long way. For instance, last year, my friend’s husband booked a swanky suite at a local resort, and we ladies enjoyed a day of poolside relaxation followed by an evening of heartfelt chats. The next day, the dads arrived with the kids, and there were smiles all around.
Imagine us having fun—painting each other’s nails, engaging in pillow fights, or giving massages while flipping through a fun book. Trust me, the admiration for that husband skyrocketed after this act, leaving the other dads looking a bit less impressive. But that’s okay! Now, the other dads are inspired to do the same thing each year because, you know, competition.
And what comes next, gentlemen? Father’s Day! Yep, those golf clubs you’ve been eyeing might just be in your future. And you may even get a day to use them. It’s a win-win situation! When you pamper us, we’re more than willing to return the favor.
Now, a little honesty: one small drawback of the pre-Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is that you might not feel 100% on the actual day. But you know what to do about that? Gatorade and Ibuprofen. You’re welcome! So go ahead and spread the word about pre-Mother’s Day Mother’s Day love.
