“We, as a society, tout the importance of taking care of moms in a variety of ways. We laud the benefits of self-care, usually in expensive spa-form. We talk about “putting on your oxygen masks” before you assist others. We hold up the value of “villages” and encourage parents to find or build their own. We celebrate whatever clichéd garbage is written in the Mother Day cards we haphazardly remember to send once a year, along with a gift certificate to a nail salon or overpriced brunch. But rarely, if ever, do people actually take care of the mom in their lives. No, the onus on taking care of a mother falls on the mother herself. She must add “self-care” to her never-ending list of obligations and responsibilities and priorities. And make no mistake, in the year 2019, that list is only getting larger. “
