Last year I booked a massage, only to have it cancelled by the masseuse the friday night before “because [he] didn’t realize it was on mother’s day.”

We then spent it at a restaurant with my screaming 2mo who I eventually had to change in a dingy bathroom on a floppy folding chair because they didn’t have a changing table.

I’m trying not to bring disgruntled energy to this year, lol.

Omg, the husband initiating part!

I told him that it makes me feel frustrated when I have to “nag” him to handle certain tasks and that I need him to take the lead.

Thankfully he has improved on that front. I also needed to recognize my role by seeing the other tasks he WAS doing (and I was simply overlooking.)

Love this!!

I had a friend tell me that I was being hard on myself, and that helped a lot. I wanted to be the “perfect” mom, but that mindset was killing me.

My mom did something similar by volun-telling my dad that she and him were watching the baby while I take a nap.

My dad initially pushed back saying that I probably didn’t want to be bothered, but thankfully she persisted!!

I really just needed someone to say, “Can I do dishes or help watch the baby while you nap on Xday or Xday?”
