Like on nights when I only gt half the dishes washed if I woke up to find the other half were done I would feel a thousand times more appriciated. I wouldn't ven need a card or a present, just knowing that I have a partnr to pitch in. That’s a great list. :) For me, helping a little more would show me so much.

The sacrifices that a mother makes (her own interests, free time, sleep, hobbies, outings with friends, etc.) often go unnoticed and unappreciated. Just to hear that someone understands and admires mothers for their choice to mother gives support and encouragement. Show respect for what she’s doing.

I feel sort of taken advantage of. But if they take a little initiative, I feel I'm more than just a maid/nanny. The best way lately, that my family can show me appreciation is helping out.

I want to send this to my mother, but then if she did anything on the list -- which she wouldn't -- I would just think she did it because I sent the list. Our relationship isn't the best since I became a mother. Which, by the way, is why I couldn't participate in that writing project. That said, I would love to receive a card with a note. Just for no reason. A gift of babysitting, even long enough for me to take a walk around my block (or blogosphere) would be awesome, but just doesn't happen in my life. So, a gift certificate for a dinner out would be awesome. So I could avoid making one meal at home. Just once. You mean, not just on Mother’s Day?
