Ah, Mother's Day — the day your family pulls out all the stops to celebrate all that you do for them.
But when it comes to what you actually want for Mother's Day, sometimes your family gets it a little bit, well, wrong as hell.
Well, a viral Reddit thread asked moms what they REALLY want for Mother's Day, and their responses were hilarious, heartbreaking, and real:
1. "I want to go to Target alone, get Starbucks, and live my best life for two hours."
2. "To not be bombarded with a million questions, the majority of which are, 'Why?'"
3. "To get my car professionally detailed. There are McDonald's chicken nuggets stuffed so deep into the seats I'm pretty sure they're mummified."
4. "Anything but a mug — oh my god, please don't get anymore mugs. They are the mother equivalent of ties."
5. "I want a call from my kid in which he says 'I love you' first, not just after I say it."
6. "One night in a hotel to sleep. And to come home to a clean house that wasn't cleaned by me."
7. "Just to feel like I'm appreciated. Maybe a simple 'Thank you for always doing this,' or 'Thank you for being there when this happened.'"
8. "I want my adult kids to come home and visit. I want my driveway filled with cars and my house filled with noise. But since they live out of state, they'll call instead, and that will be enough."
9. "A day off. But a proper day off, where they actually take care of everything I do — not just doing nothing on Mother's Day to do twice as much to catch up the day after."
10. "I want a picture of my son and me. I'm a single mom, so all of our pictures are selfies, and I would love for someone to offer to take our picture instead."
11. "An hour or two of total and complete silence."
12. "I don't care about gifts of any kind, permanent or perishable — if I want something I'll buy it myself. I just want us to spend some time together.
13. "For someone to take over the mental load for one day. My son has ADHD and rides the spectrum, and my mother has Alzheimer's. I would love to leave the house knowing that they are safe, without having to call several times a day to check."
