About damn time! Take the girl out after her hair and make-up. Get a beer or coffee with pasta (depending on your age, obviously). Give her the much-needed quality time she deserves. She's going to love every bit of the two hours you give her your attention. And for the love of God, put your phone on silent, and check Instagram once your date with mom is done. She will apprecaite you for it.
Stop gatekeeping. Please just teach her how to connect that HDMI cable to the television already.
She has been asking you for weeks now. Help the lady out and let her figure out how to play her favourite ABBA hits on the speaker. Maybe even rock out with her. She will forever be the dancing queen, young and sweet, only 17.
Remember smearing your mother's red lipstick all over as a kid? Or that time you decided to give everyone a fashion walk after doing your hair once as a teenager? Well, reverse your roles now. Try that new mascara on her lashes, give her a do-over, make her feel like the third Hadid sister this Mother's Day. Trust us, it'll go a long way.
When was the last time you saw your mother have a girls' night? Maybe some wine, cheese, and her closest girlfriends. Surprise her with her favourite people at home.
As you call for breakfast in bed every morning from your mother in shining armour, it's time to cook those eggs on your own now. It's time to let her see how the oil from the hot pan chooses to terrorise you. Be it street-style bhurji or fluffy pancakes dripped in maple syrup, it's time for her day off. Surprise her with her favourite meal; it's pocket-friendly too, by the way!
This time, don't ask for pocket money, do it out of the goodness of your heart. Give her a booklet of favour coupons! Five tedious tasks that you both hate, forget that you might hate them more, do it for her. Get the laundry done for the following week. Just a thought.
