What She Really Wants for Mother's Day

“Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.” – Anonymous

I know most of you are trying hard to give something important to your mom to make her happy on Mother’s Day. The trick is that it has to come from you as a husband, son, or daughter.

So what is that single thing that counts the most as a Mother’s Day gift?

It’s more of you.

I know most men would probably roll their eyes on this one, including myself. However, we must understand that her heart functions differently than ours. She thinks differently and worries about that most of us don’t. Mothers make sure at the end of that day that everyone’s sleeping well.

Back to my answer: She needs more of you. So, what to give your mother? Simple. She needs you for an entire day to listen to her. When mothers speak while their loved ones listen, it makes them feel loved. Don’t argue nor interrupt her. Don’t give her your opinion unless she asks for it. On mother’s day, let her express whatever she wants to without your autobiographical mentality. This Sunday, it’s all about her and not yours. Just accept that. She deserves it more than you think.

More of you: Give her physical help. Cook breakfast, clean around the house; ask if she needs any special help. Remember, offer yourself on this very day and dedicate yourself to your mother. Let’s face it; you’re probably stronger than your mother. Husbands are physically stronger. Sons and daughters have more energy. Mom-life is physically and mentally exhausting. Come on, help out.

If you’re still skeptical about this very gift, let me tell you something – your mother wants you. Mothers want you to be crazy about them. Whether you’re a husband, a son, or a daughter – your mom wants you on this very special day so wrap yourself as a gift and give more of you.

Give it a try and see what happens on your birthday or Father’s day.
