Most of us have reasonable expectations. We’re not asking for adoration (though, let’s be real, I wouldn’t mind a bit of it), but wouldn’t it be lovely to have a day free from diaper duty, food cutting, and lugging around the diaper bag? Here’s hoping that’s the kind of day we’ll get.
However, let’s be honest: things rarely go as planned, and Mother’s Day can often be a letdown. Thankfully, the witty parents of Twitter always manage to bring on the laughs amidst the chaos. Our spouses and children may drive us to exasperation, but these clever tweets about Mother’s Day can certainly brighten our moods. And so can mimosas!
1. Let’s Get It Out of the Way Early
Why wait? We know we only get a fraction of the day, so let’s just vent our frustrations now.
2. A Realistic Outlook
Sure, your partner and kids might indulge in the novelty of serving breakfast in bed, but don’t be surprised if the charm wears off within 22 minutes.
3. Embrace Low Expectations
Imagine a moment of peace: a diaper change without the need to juggle a Monster High doll or referee sibling squabbles. Pure bliss!
4. The Trade-Off
Oh, you crafted me a gift with wood and glue? Let’s not forget the bladder issues I endured bringing you into this world! Seems fair enough.
5. Smart Spouse Strategy
Given the emotional rollercoaster that is Mother’s Day, the wise partner knows to make themselves scarce. If they’re really clever, they’ll take the kids along too.
6. Legal Immunity
My husband tried this tactic once when our little one was just a baby. Just once.
7. Inevitably Awkward
Let’s face it, things are bound to go awry. Why not make a game out of it?
8. Humble Brag Alert
If we don’t post about the spa day and flowers we “received” from our kids on Facebook, did it even happen?
9. Gratitude Despite Everything
Whining aside, we appreciate their efforts, no matter how clumsy they may be.
10. The Final Straw
Just when you thought the day couldn’t get worse, your family finds a way to make you feel undervalued.
11. Cheers to Us!
Happy Mother’s Day, indeed!
