What mom wants

What Moms Really Want for Mothers Day

By Dawn Hamm

Every year my boys ask me what I want for mothers day and every year I tell them the same thing, all I want is to sleep in and have a quite peaceful day, no kids fighting no laundry to do or meal to make just a nice day and if I want to lay in bed all day let me! Im not saying gifts aren't nice but I don't need more knickknacks or bottles of bubble bath, I'm good til next Christmas thanks. Well this is what I found that most women want and no its not diamonds but hey we wont complain if they're given.

Hallmark did a survey recently and this is what women said they wanted for Mother's Day, Something she wants but wouldn't buy for herself, yes guys you have to figure that one out by your selves! A day of no cooking or chores, pampering being waited on hand foot and while your at it a nice massage. A Mothers day card that she will keep for years and add to her collection.

Other women have said that they would love to have breakfast in bed that they didn't have to make or supervise. A day just spent lying in bed reading or watching tv, that's right guys give her the remote! Hey it's just for a day!

Most women want the same thing a nice peaceful relaxing day with no kid's fighting and the sun to be shining.

Here are some tips on making Mom's special day something she will remember for along time maybe even long enough that she wont yell at you the next time you think its funny to see if you can jump off the roof and land in the pool. But you didn't and she had to rush you to the ER for a broken arm..

Let mom sleep in if you don't see her, think of it as a good thing

Make mom an easy breakfast in bed toast/english muffin and coffee/tea will do

Clean your room

Ask her if there's anything you can get for her more coffee, a book the remote etc..

Let her take a HOT shower and don't knock on the door asking to use the bathroom.

Have Dad take you to the park

Bring home moms favorite take out for lunch

Sit at the dining room table and have lunch and not fight with your brother/sister

This is a great time to give mom her gifts/cards

Your half way there

Clean up lunch mess

Tell her to go take a nap

If the phone rings don't bother her, telemarkerts will call back tomorrow

Remind dad that you have a project due tomorrow and you haven't even gotten started and you need stuff from the store for it.

Stop fighting with you brother/sister

Clean house mom loves you and will know you tried

Make her favorite meal for dinner or order out if you have to, she will understand

Anything chocolate for dessert is always a winner

And last but not least tell her that she's the best mom and you wouldn't trade her even for that new game system that's coming out in a few months.
