How do you view Mother's Day?
Do you prefer to spend the day with your family (kids, spouse, parents, etc) or do you prefer to do something alone (spa/pampering, home alone, go out alone, etc)?
What about your husband/partner for Fathers Day?
I'm conflicted because I feel like Mothers Day and Fathers Day should be a family day with emphasis on the celebrated parent, but my husband always wants to be alone on Father's Day while simultaneously saying I should be with our daughter for Mother's Day.
Without getting into the details of the day, I ended up spending most of my day alone, which I guess was okay because I rarely have time alone but its not what I prefer nor was it really my choice for today. Now I know come Father's Day my husband will expect to be alone, which IS his choice.
So I was wondering what is your ideal Mother's Day set up?
& Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and mom-adjacent figures ❤️
