36: Managing expectations and having a nice Mother's Day when you are divorced.
Navigating and preparing for special days, holidays etc can be triggering especially in the first year since separating. I am sharing some of my learnings with you to help you have a lovely day with your kids if that is what you want.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Managing our expectations.
- Helping our kids do what they want for us.
- Help someone else’s kids (ie single moms you know) - perhaps an exchange of going shopping together and even celebrating together.
- Focus on your mother or someone else as that might feel easier especially if you are estranged from your kids because of the divorce.
- What to expect from our ex
- What the other parent can do to help (and what you can do when it's their turn)
- Remember to make it a good day for yourself and not only expect others to do so. And also not to only do for others.
I wish you a beautiful Mother's Day and that you are surrounded by those you love.
