Gee willikers! Mother\u2019s Day is right around the corner. We have an important message for moms everywhere: you work hard, you sacrifice, so don\u2019t be bashful about making this day all about you. It occurs once a year, and we\u2019ll go out on a limb and say it\u2019s been quite the doozy of a 13-month stretch. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point is that you<\/em> come first on Mother\u2019s Day, and you can hand-craft how you\u2019d like even if (gasp!) you\u2019d prefer some solitude. Don\u2019t worry, your kids, husband, parents, inlaws, and whoever else in your sphere won\u2019t fire you over it. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to make Mother\u2019s Day truly your day. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Your Day<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Do you ever fantasize about what the perfect day would look like? Of course you do, but it always seems like an impossibility because of your daily duty and drudgery. Well, Mother\u2019s Day is your opportunity to start with a blank canvass and design the morning, afternoon, and evening as you want. Pro tip: write it all down and go forth. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give Yourself Permission to Just Say No<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It goes against the grain to not want to be with family on Mother\u2019s Day, but if that\u2019s what you desire then go for it. If getting together with family within pandemic parameters fulfills you, great, but don\u2019t feel guilty saying no to your relatives, rejecting their invitations to brunch, lunch, or dinner. Tradition shmradition. When 32% of mothers say their mental health has gotten worse as a result of COVID<\/a>, you are entitled to some me time on your day. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be the Queen of Your Castle <\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love you, you\u2019re perfect, now leave,\u201d isn\u2019t exactly how I\u2019d articulate it to your spouse\/partner and kids, but you can kindly request that you\u2019d like the house to yourself for a portion of the day. Imagine having a few hours alone to just chill. Make sure, though, that you give your crew some advanced notice that they need to vacate the premises. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a Room<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When is the last time you had your own hotel room unrelated to a work trip? Even if it was yesterday, that doesn\u2019t preclude you from booking a Mother\u2019s Day reservation and spending the night. The possibilities are endless, including binge watching Netflix shows, getting lost in a book, or doing both while lounging in a cozy robe and feasting on room service. Staying at a hotel is low risk if you\u2019re vaccinated<\/a>, and you could always rent an Airbnb or Vrbo property if that makes you more comfortable.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We should note that we\u2019re not trying to sway you one way or the other. Your perfect Mother\u2019s Day may be one spent with family all day, but the main idea is that you have the freedom to experience Mother\u2019s Day on your own terms because you deserve to.
