Happy Mother’s Day weekend 🫶🏼
The fact that some moms say “I just want sleep” or “a break” for Mother’s Day should tell you everything.
Not jewelry.
Not brunch.
Not a vacation (though let’s be real—we wouldn’t say no).
Just… rest.
That’s not a celebration. That’s a cry for help wrapped in a polite request.
We are mothering in survival mode.
Pouring from an empty cup, then apologizing when we run dry.
Carrying mental loads so heavy they keep us up at night—then we wake up and carry them again.
When moms say they just want to rest for Mother’s Day, they’re not being “low maintenance.”
They’re exhausted.
They’re depleted.
They’re doing too much with too little.
To the ones running on fumes, you are seen. You are loved. You are a superhero. You deserve so much more than a nap.
