Motherhood is often synonymous with endless tasks, nurturing, multitasking, and the constant juggle of balancing work, home, and family. In the midst of all this, moms rarely get a chance to relax and enjoy a well-deserved break. Enter National Lazy Mom’s Day – a unique holiday dedicated to moms taking it easy, celebrating themselves, and enjoying a day of rest and relaxation.

NATIONAL LAZY MOM’S DAY – First Friday in September
NATIONAL LAZY MOM’S DAY
During the first Friday in September, National Lazy Mom’s Day delegates everyday mom jobs to someone else.
#NationalLazyMomsDay
Busy moms know that the work of being a parent is never done. However, occasionally parents need to recharge. The laundry and the dishes will be there later. When possible, finding someone to watch the children for a few hours is worth it. Sometimes all a mom needs is a nap. Other times, mothers (and fathers too) seek adult conversation.
Even though moms around the country view this day in different ways, the majority see it as a day for moms to take a break. While the occasion holds no shine to Mother’s Day, may we suggest some cooperation with Mom? Allow her to take a break. Divide the chores. Place a moratorium on family feuds. That’s how most celebrate this National Day.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL LAZY MOM’S DAY
You don’t have to celebrate like most moms do, however. Maybe it is a hammock and book kind of day for your lazy afternoon. Help mom celebrate this holiday by cleaning up after yourself. Rub her feet. Walk the dog. Mow the lawn. Put the dishes away. Pick up your dirty clothes. The list goes on.
