5. “Just to feel like I’m appreciated. Maybe a simple, ‘Thank you for always doing this,’ or ‘Thank you for being there when this happened.”
(「一句簡單的感謝,例如『謝謝你做這個』或『謝謝你在我身邊』。」)
6. “I just want one day to be ME — not ‘Mom,’ ‘Wife,’ ‘Daughter,’ or ‘Employee.’ Every single day is spent taking care of someone else, operating on their schedule, and fulfilling their needs. ”
7. “I want a picture of my son and me. I’m a single mom, so all of our pictures are selfies, and I would love for someone to offer to take our picture instead.”
12. I don’t want to have to plan my Mother’s Day. I’ll take damn near anything so long as I have nothing to do with making it happen!
(做什麼也好,只要我不需要做任何事前功夫,我不希望由我來計劃母親節的節目)
13. I just want time with my kids (busy adults). And it looks like that’s gonna happen. She lives and works four hours away and her brother is a new-ish dad, with his new-ish business and an old professional fishing habit that doesn’t always make room for Mother’s Day. So we may celebrate according to our own calendars. And that’s fine with me.
