[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom, I was taken aback when I saw that other moms of young kids were planning to celebrate the day by not being with their kids. Sure, we all need a break now and then. But specifically asking to not have your kids around as the way to celebrate being a mother seems really odd to me.

How do the little children feel about this? I imagine this would have hurt my feelings when I was a child.

There is nothing odd about it just because you do things differently!  How about staying in your lane and stop judging others.  Btw, I celebrate with my kids and have my own time too!  It is possible.[/quote]

OP, how old are your kids? I felt as you do when my kids were little, but over the years, when that magical alternative Day for Mom to Do Something for Herself Day doesn't materialize, you change your mind.

The reality is that for most of us, Mother's Day is just another day of obligation where we we pay tribute to our mothers and mothers in law. [/quote]
