The Mother's Day Scam

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Good morning. Happy Mother's Day. Why are women expected to plan their own Mother's Day? 70% of moms say they actually want a break for Mother's Day.

[00:00:11]That's it. Just a break. No flowers, no cards, no candy, no brunches, just a simple break. Instead, 71% of women are actually planning and meal prepping and scheduling their this day and then doing most of the cleanup. Literally, 39% of them are scheduling the restaurant reservations for their own Mother's Day meals, brunches, or dinners, or whatever it is.

[00:00:40]Where are the dads? Where are the men in the picture? We spend $38 most moms say they're more exhausted the Monday after. This isn't a celebration.

[00:00:55]This is invisible labor with a big fat cherry on top or a bouquet of flowers.

[00:01:00]If you've ever had to plan your own Mother's Day, please leave me a comment in uh down below. I'd love to hear about it. I'm sure others would, too. Here's the part no one says aloud. Mother's Day isn't failing because people don't care.

[00:01:16]It's failing because women carry the mental load even on the day that's supposed to be all about them. If you've ever felt disappointed on Mother's Day, that does not make you ungrateful. It makes you aware of the reality and this is just a moment of validation. If you're tired of caring the mental load for everyone, I have a space for you.
