This day. Mother’s Day. I find it so interesting how we celebrate this day. We want our kids to celebrate us but that USUALLY means our husbands helping our kids celebrate us. Our husbands have the opportunity to express what they see as the mother of their children, while also encouraging and even challenging their kids to see the beauty of a mother’s responsibilities in daily life. It’s an opportunity to teach gratitude for the unspoken expectations of being a mother. Then, we have adult mothers who still have mother’s of their own. They want to love their mom’s on this day and celebrate them in a whole new light. This is an opportunity for the mom to show her kids how she celebrates her own mom. So without lessening the value of this day for Mother’s, I want to suggest the idea that Mother’s day is more about marriages, kids, and family.
