What I Want for Mother’s Day : Because I Am Mom
No flowers, no candy, no jewelry…
I just want the day off.
I want someone else to do the laundry. It is a never ending job, done with love, by me, Mom. And rarely do I even get a ‘Thank you’. I usually get, “Have you washed my undewear yet?, where are my favorite jeans?, why aren’t my socks clean yet?”
I want someone else to do the dishes, just to have to turn around and dirty some more for, yep you guessed it, dinner. Which again takes me to, I want someone else to do the dishes.
I want some else to make dinner, dish it out and serve it up, This I do, with love, because I am mom. No tips are given, not even “this is great!”.
I want someone else to look after the dogs, feed them, water them, pet them out and, for pete’s sake, clean up their puke when they eat a toy.
I want someone else to pick up the toys, put them nicely away so that when my little girl wants her dolly, I can tell her right where it is. Again, this I do because I am mom.
I want someone else to answer the phone and tell the telemarketers no. And to tell the bill collectors that I am dead. 
I want someone else to worry about homework and making little girl pig tails. This, again, I do with love, because I am mom.
I want someone else to clean and kiss the boo-boos, peel the bandaids and call the doctors.
Most of all, I want someone to do these things for me, so that I can do them for my Mom. She did all of these things, with love, because she is Mom.

Do you know you deserve that as well may your house be filled with happy days and someone to do the jobs for you just once in a while…..being a mum is a full time job and still you get no time off and keep a smile proud of all mums.
o and dads when they do the swap time as they should .

I always make a fried rice for my mom in mothers day. I always ask my mom take a rest and relax on mother day. I, my sister and my father do all house jobs for my mom

Sure MOM, you deserve all this. The whole family should know that what MOM does with a wide smile, is a hard rock to knack for anyone else.

Very nice article; moms do indeed work very hard, but they do this out of love.
I would have be lost without my mom being there- Making me my favorite comfort foods (Mac and Cheese, Grilled Cheese sandwiches, etc) plus doing my laundry and doing the dishes
I just want to say to all kids who think they know it all and want to move out on their own- you are in for a rude awakening- You have to pay the rent on time, do the laundry, do the cooking, and make your own bed.

Since am a mom and have a mom this interests me.
And as for me , I would like to do all chores for when I take a day off,my conscience hurts me. Well, I will be fully involved and would call it a day at night yawning and kissing my baby.

Good expression of a mother. Mothers need to unwind too from time to time. It is not an easy job.
