23-Five Ways Not to be Disappointed this Mother's Day

Are you looking for ways not to be disappointed this Mother's Day? Do you want your family to give you a great Mother's Day and need ideas on how to make this happen? Welcome to today's episode of the Front Parking Spot Podcast, where host Jennifer Bosma, a Christian children's book author and former teacher, shares her insights and wisdom on ways to make your Mother's Day great.

The episode begins with Jennifer reflecting on her experiences with Mother's Day, reminiscing about the contrasting traditions surrounding the occasion in her family and that of her husbands.

Her family of mostly girls treated Mother's Day as a special occasion, showering their mother and grandmother with pampering and love. However, in her husband's family, the day's significance was lowered due to the composition of the all-male family. This led to a certain level of clash in expectations when Jennifer began her own family and looked forward to Mother's Day.

Drawing from this personal experience, Jennifer shares five helpful tips to ensure mothers will not be disappointed come Mother's Day.

She emphasized the necessity of a heartfelt conversation with the family about Mother's Day expectations. She suggested giving them a list of activities that would make the day special and letting them choose.

For mothers who like receiving gifts, Jennifer advised them to let their families know about their preference. She also stressed that mothers should accept and internalize the compliments, messages and tokens that families offer.

Lastly, she spoke about the importance of planning an activity a mom desires to do for herself on Mother’s Day, be it indulging in self-care or executing a long-planned project.

Finally, Jennifer ended the podcast by reminding all mothers of their exceptional role and the blessing that is motherhood.
