of us. Don’t build on expectations and
thrive off them because in the end, you
may feel disappointed if they are not
met.

Your children may just want to spend
more quality time with you. Mother’s Day
doesn’t have to include an extravagant
dinner in the end. It could mean bonding
over your favourite movies with your
children or simply cuddling each other
to sleep. Enjoy the day and remain
positive as best you can.

Make Plans With Your Family And Friends
It’s easy to feel left out especially when
all your friends are coupled up and
celebrating their version of Mother’s
Day with their own families. Find time
by seeking out friends who are also
single mums and get together with
your children and be creative with your
outings. You can go on a day trip to the
beach, day cruise or even have a quiet
picnic in the park.

It’s not rocket science when it comes to
making plans and you’ll find that even
the most simplest things can benefit
you physically and emotionally. Of
course, this might be your first Mother’s
Day being single but that doesn’t mean
you should let that define your worth.
You can be happy flying solo and just
be grateful spending time with your
children.

Overall, it’s okay to feel a bit left out
when it comes to Mother’s Day. Just
because you’re single, doesn’t mean
you should miss out on all the fun.
Remember that your children love you
no matter what and if they show love
and care towards you on this special
day, show your appreciation and remind
yourself that you’re an amazing mother
with many valuable qualities.
