Mother’s Day Guilt
1 May 2007 I’ve heard several moms say that Mother’s day is the worst day of their year. Whenever they say this, other moms nod their head in agreement. It’s something I didn’t understand because I’m not a mom, & because I was thinking "You get presents, what’s to feel bad about?". I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that none of them feel like they should have their own holiday. They think that Mother’s Day is for all those perfect moms. I can’t relate to this because I think that everyday is my own national holiday, but I feel bad that other women feel this way. I don’t really know how to fix that, but I think if moms treated themselves to a nice gift it would make them feel special. Any ideas on how to assuage Mother’s Day guilt? (Yes, I just used assuage in a sentence, maybe I used it wrong, maybe I spelled it wrong, but it’s still pretty impressive for me)
