As the festive season draws near, the whirlwind of holiday preparations can be overwhelming for mothers. The anticipation of Christmas often brings along a chaotic flurry of activities, especially when it comes to gift-wrapping. If I have to wrap another toy, I might just lose my mind! So here’s the pressing question: What do I receive in exchange for my tireless efforts? A clay bowl my children crafted that resembles a lump rather than an elephant? While I cherish their homemade creations, this year, my Christmas wishlist looks a bit different.
- An Aching-Free Body
I yearn for legs that don’t throb from endless standing and a back that doesn’t feel like it’s been through a wrestling match from lifting little ones repeatedly. And let’s not forget arms that aren’t sore from dragging a child out of a store when they’re throwing a tantrum over a toy! - My Waistline Back, Please
I would like my waist to make a triumphant return after seemingly vanishing during pregnancy. - One Peaceful Car Ride
I dream of a car journey where I can enjoy any music that isn’t the Frozen soundtrack. Seriously, can we let it go already, Elsa? - Fingerprint-Resistant Windows and Mirrors
Is it too much to ask for clean windows? I’d love to glance outside without seeing countless fingerprints, especially when baby food is launched across the room. - A Peaceful Phone Call
I wish for a conversation without interruptions, not having to mediate a mini wrestling match or hide away for some silence. - Gym Membership
Oh, how I would love a gym membership along with the time and energy to actually use it, so I can wear my workout clothes outside of the house! - Siblings Who Get Along
My children never seem to play nice, and it feels like I’ve taken on the role of a full-time referee. - A Stash of Good Chocolate
I want a year’s supply of chocolate that I can enjoy without having to share, not even with my husband. Eating it in the pantry is getting old! - Children Who Listen
My kids have tuned me out completely. Honestly, the dog is more responsive than they are. - Stain-Free Clothes
I dream of mornings where I can dress without inspecting my clothes for mysterious stains. - A Hot Meal
By the time I serve dinner, my food is cold. And why is it that my kids want my plate’s food? - Ketchup as a Vegetable
I’m exhausted from insisting they eat their vegetables. Let’s just make ketchup a vegetable and simplify things! - Yoga Pants as Business Casual
This would make my day-to-day life so much easier and comfier. - Non-Kid Shows During the Day
I crave a chance to watch something other than cartoons without succumbing to sleep halfway through. - Hot Coffee
Is it too much to ask to enjoy my coffee hot the first time around? - A 10-Minute Shower Without Interruptions
I long for a shower where I don’t have to choose between shaving and washing my hair. - French Fries Recognized as a Food Group
Imagine the accolades I could receive as a mom if this were true! - One Perfect Family Photo
I wish for a family picture where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera on the first attempt. - Gift Cards to Favorite Stores
I want a collection of gift cards to my go-to shops, along with a day to shop in peace without children. - A Date Night with My Partner
I dream of going out for dinner without the usual distractions of crayons and kids’ menus. - Instruments That Sound Good
Could someone invent musical instruments that don’t drive me and the dog crazy while my kids practice?
Being a mother is undeniably rewarding, and I cherish every moment with my children. However, there’s nothing wrong with wishing for a little indulgence. Hopefully, our loved ones take note of our desires!
