I was asked to submit a quote for Forbes on "Why are mothers in need of a day devoted to relaxation and stress relief (particularly right now)?" and thank god they took my "Can we be real for a moment?" response. Mother's Day is almost insulting when women need systemic changes that don't go away even once children are out of the house. Thanks for this much more pointed and apt take on this.
Love love love. My husband asked me if I wanted flowers, jewelry etc. UM no. I said I would actually love help finishing the yard projects that I’ve been working on for months by myself and spending the day hiking as a family. I don’t want a stupid mug or flowers. I should have asked for even more I know realize, thanks for this article 😝

Your quote in that piece was spot on and exactly what it needed!

That sounds like a delightful Mother's Day!
(you can have him pack and plan everything for the hike 😉)
So glad I read this so I could link to it in my Mother's Day Substack tomorrow! Again, we are completely in sync :)
Yes! Excited to read yours!
This is too good!
