We’re exhausted from running ourselves into the ground shopping for our kids, our spouse, our parents, our in-laws, our nieces, nephews, neighbors, and teachers… and then come Christmas morning we have one gift to open—the pair of slippers we picked out and sent our spouse the link for. If you, too, feel bone tired and angry that year after year, no one appreciates all you, and no one takes the time to search for something special to make sure Mom feels loved, we get it. That sentiment is shared by moms everywhere.
I’ve told the kids to lie for now, but it feels like we should probably just address the elephant in the room, so that we can get things we actually do want.
