What Mom Really Wants for Mother's Day

PSA: Sunday is Mother's Day. If you are married, and you guys have children, yes, you need to get her a little something for Mother's Day. No, the macaroni art on the fridge is not enough. Seriously, show some effort.

Every year I ask my co-workers and friends what they really want for Mother's Day. I am always perplexed by their answers. It's true, mom just wants some acknowledgment and some peace. Check out the Mother's Day Gift requests below.

"Let me introduce you to somebody, his name is Dad. Go get him to find your socks. He too can help you with that last-minute school project. LEAVE ME ALONE ON MOTHER'S DAY!"
"I need a spa day, where the money I spend is not an issue. Give me the credit card and let me be as soon as this ban is lifted."
"If you really want to make me feel loved, try cleaning the house. Unless those flowers help pick up the mess made when I wasn't around I am not interested. The house has not been cleaned since the last week of March"
"Sleep. Seriously, like don't bother me. Leave me alone and let me truly sleep in."
"Load me up on gift cards. Chocolate is great and all, but Starbucks is better. If it has a drive-through, I'm all about it."
"Breakfast in bed is for the birds. Give me brunch in bed, Mimosas, Bloody Mary's, and all."
"I would really love a day where no questions are allowed. From my husband to my kids, to my co-workers bugging me on the weekend."
"A restaurant reservation. One thing I am missing lately is a meal that is not homemade. I don't care if I have to bring my own lawn chair, I just want a meal that isn't from the drive-through and that I didn't make."
"I never thought I would say this, but we have been sheltering in place far too long. I need time away from my kids. PLEASE TAKE THEM NANA!"
"Ammo for my gun and a day on the range."
"A cake from Nothing Bundt cakes for myself. No sharing.
