'I’ve already informed my husband that while he’s welcome to go to brunch, he’ll be taking our son. And leaving me at home.'
“Talk!” My 2-year-old shouts in my face while he eats his breakfast. Every day.
I patiently tell my son not to hit my keyboard or yell “bonk” in my ear. But what I really wanna do is yell, “Bonk!” right back. All she said was, “Good luck.” It came from a guttural place. “Goooood luck.” The letters hung in the air.Motherhood is no joke. It’s wonderful, yes, but it’s also the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. So when moms get this one single day to be “celebrated,” performing the same parenting duties that we perform the rest of the year feels like … well, the opposite of a celebration.My first official Mother’s Day snuck up on me.
So we went across the street to a chain brewery that screamed, “My husband dropped the ball.” It was empty and honestly kind of great, but I could have happily just stayed in bed.So the third time around, I avoided the pressure of the day by spending it working on something I definitely could have rescheduled. My male co-worker had to leave early because the pregnant mother of his child was making him dinner. If that doesn’t prove what a crock this holiday is, I don’t know what does.
In an effort to heal some generational trauma, I explicitly ask for what I want. I don’t believe that gifts are a necessary part of the day, but if I’m going to get something, I’d prefer it to be something I actually like. No ceramic bears for me — which is why last year my husband got me a huge Snoop Dogg vector art drawing. Much better than a stemless “mom juice” wine glass or a cozy robe in a neutral shade of taupe.But this year, all I’m asking for is for everyone to give me a break.
