Five (5) things a child wish to do to his mom but can’t due to awkwardness

Spend a simple yet a precious moment with mom without any interruption. Nowadays, most moms are becoming busier just like our dads. Instead of spending time at home with their kids they will just choose to work as their husband does. A simple reason behind this is to earn living and provide basic necessities for their kids – a wonderful reason of each working mom, but sometimes less regarded. However, kids might feel happy and enjoy with the provisions of luxury in life that their parents provide them, but probably most kids will agree that these things will never compensate their longing for a precious moment with their mom without any interruption. Kids tend to divert their emotion into things that might entertain them and let them forget the sad feeling of being a kid without a mom around because she’s working or a mom is coming home, but too tired to give her kids a precious moment that sometimes even a single “Hi” and “Hello” seems to be an additional difficult task to do.

Give mom a hug when she’s nagging and already pissed off. A nagging mom is probably as usual as taking breakfast or going to work or school every day. It’s like a normal attribute of a mom – a nagging mom. But a kid listening to his mom reciting the litany of saints and ignores its negativity, instead thinking to give her a powerful hug is something unusual and definitely magnificent. Most kids have the tendency to hear-nothing and see-nothing when their mom starts to nag. But in some cases, kids want their mom to stop talking not because it’s too ear-breaking, but because they want their mom to find peace of mind and great comfort despite all her worries. We want to hug them to stop them from talking too much that could bring their blood pressure to its all time high – we don’t want that to happen and we will never wish that. Of course, we love our Moms no matter how speed their mouths are when they nag, no matter how sick it is to hear their constant litany and sermon, all we want is to LOVE them back the way they do.

Kiss them without any reason - an out of nowhere kiss. Our mom should be the most valued, the most important and the most precious woman for us boys and for girls your moms should be the best among your best friends. When your mom is watching TV, preparing the family’s dinner, cleaning the soiled dishes, or even in her idle time try to show her how grateful we are that this wrinkled mom because of her workloads, this noisy mom, and this extra-stubborn mom is our mom – mom that God chose to take care of us more than herself. Giving your mom an expensive bag or make-up kit will probably put a smile on her face, but giving them a gentle and sincere kiss will remind them the very essence of their motherhood and this will make them even proud of themselves and happier knowing that they properly nurture her kids with tender and motherly care – the very simple purpose of every mom.

Say “Mom/Mama I Love You” directly in her face with an eye contact. Every mom is a loving mom. No one will ever dare to change this fact. Every life in this world came from the very womb of a caring and loving mother. Every mom has a unique way of carrying and nurturing their kids from the time they found out their pregnancy until giving birth but it all boils down to the very of essence of motherhood – the love of every mother to her children will never stop and nothing and no one can alter that fact. With that said, although moms are not asking for anything in return to pay their unconditional love, kids must make their mom feel secure with their love. Kids shall give the same amount of love to their mom that is expressible in a simplest way by saying “Mom/Mama I Love You” directly in her face with an eye contact”. By doing this, your mom is not merely getting your repay of love but she’s getting the most of the love that this world can offer – truly a priceless one, for every mother is entitled for the love that is incomparable.

Say “Thank You Mama” then give her a powerful kiss on cheek or forehead. They say that action is louder than words, but for me words plus action is the loudest. No mother in this world will tell us that their effort of bringing us in this world should be acknowledged and recognized and somehow regarded well. But truly we should. Although it’s not required or a statutory thing, but it’s a constitutive part of our being as kids, it’s a grateful attitude and a humble disposition towards our moms. Saying “Thank You Mom/Mama” with full sincerity will be the best expression of our gratefulness to our mom. And, giving them a powerful kiss on cheek/forehead will be the best expression of our incomparable love to them. It may sound cheesy, but truly it is the very candid thing that we can ever do to our great moms.  
These things are truly wonderful things that every kid might wish to do to our moms. That is if we truly willing to do it and men it. But sometimes we tend to fail to do this – it’s something awkward for us, we don’t used to it. It’s something cheesy or melodramatic. Probably that’s how this new generation perceives it but in reality it might seems sensational, but it is truly a wonderful deed that every kid should do - give your mom a powerful hug, kiss, gratefulness and LOVE.

Warm greetings of Happy Mother’s Day to all Awesome and Brilliant Moms out there!
