Giving birth to your little one is surely an amazing experience in a woman’s life. It is a state of being overwhelmed with happiness, love and care. The moment the baby arrives, there is the beginning of a new chapter in life with a deep sense of fulfillment.
However, being a mother is not as easy as it sounds to be. Whoever says that every second with your baby is a moment of enjoyment, the reality is something different. There will be sleepless nights, relentless demands, self-doubt and much more. But’s that the beauty of motherhood which every woman embraces with a smile on their face.
So, why celebrate Mother’s Day only once a year? Every mother needs a break no matter what month or day it is. Amidst all the chaos of balancing work and family needs, they forget one thing, that is themselves. That’s why National Lazy Mom’s Day is a celebration every mother deserves to remind themselves that it is completely okay to take a day off.
There is no denying the fact that fulfilling responsibilities as a mother is a never-ending work. Hence, they too need time to recharge themselves. On Lazy Mom’s Day, moms are encouraged to take a back seat from duties and simply be lazy.
Every mother around the world is encouraged to embrace the holiday with National Lazy Mom’s Day, celebrated on the first Friday of September each year to acknowledge their hard work and give them their “ Me” time.
The day not just only encourages the mothers to relax but also tells them that self-care is essential. Whether it’s a warm day at home, a peaceful nap or a salon session, the day is about making the moms realise that prioritising your well-being is everyone’s right without feeling guilty.
If you are a new mommy, simply have the day for yourself to relax. In case, you are confused about what sort of things you can indulge in; there are plenty of suggestions.
To ensure that you make the most out of this day, you can just ask your partner or someone in your family to take up your role. Then allow yourself to get involved in relaxation and self-care. You can have an interrupted nap and wake up being refreshed. To pamper yourself, you can treat yourself to a good salon day to unwind and rejuvenate. You can even spend time pursuing your hobbies like reading a book, listening to music, watching a movie or engaging in other activities that bring you joy. If you want to satisfy your tastebuds, you can either prepare or order your favourite meal. The list goes on.
As a kid or spouse, you can also celebrate Lazy Mom’s Day. For instance, you can get a special dish for her. You can also let her just sit on the couch while you handle the household chores. Another way to make the day memorable is by offering your mom a spa day or taking her out to a good place. Make sure that you give her plenty of time without making her think about responsibilities.
National Lazy Mom’s Day is a refreshing concept to remind moms to take a much-needed holiday from their daily tasks. In a world where balancing work and family is a significant challenge, taking a day off is necessary to recharge and refresh. You don’t have to guilt yourself out to make time for yourself. Missing your baby is a good thing but at the same time, you also deserve care.
Even children or spouses need to understand that being a mother is a stressful job. Most of the time, she is the one who carries the load of the family and it is normal to feel stressed out. Mothers are constant caregivers, they are responsible for providing love, care and attention to the entire family. Hence, just as everyone needs a break, moms also deserve rest.
Teaching children that their mothers also a time for themselves helps to instill empathy and self-respect. They will understand the importance of self-care and the need to take care of their well-being both physically and emotionally. The children will also know that there should be a work-life balance in life. By supporting their mother’s need for rest, they will be able to create a happier and healthier family where everyone feels loved and respected.
If you are a mom, celebrate Lazy Mom’s Day by engaging in things that you enjoy. And if you are a child, do make sure that your mom has a lazy day by giving her a day off from the things that is accustomed to doing every day.
