I love every poem you posted and the sentiments of this piece. I feel exactly the same about Mother's Day. It's a terrible holiday, but mothers should be celebrated. Thanks for sharing this.
Yes to all of this! I’m so sick of everyone assuming I like pink because I’m a mum! But on a serious note, Mother’s Day so often feels like a slap in the face, to get a pair of slippers when what you really need is the deep understanding of the invisible labour you do day in and day out.

Thanks Tara, glad I’m not alone in not liking it.
Oh, this is perfect. Thank you. A wonderfully written summary of the complexities of motherhood 🩷
Thank you. So complex 🤯

Doesn’t it just. Here’s the flowers. Hopefully that makes up for all those hours??? Nope.
Beautiful Nelly. Beautiful.
Thank you Tamsin.
