What Does Mommy Want For Christmas?

I can't imagine a WHOLE day without kids . . . what a concept - hee hee!! Well, sometimes parents need a healthy break . . . so a weekend getaway would be great! As you know, I have a newborn, so I won't be going away from the family for a while. Let's see . . . what do I want for Christmas and what would make me happy? Funny how "money" comes to mind as it would take care a lot of things, but I know I'm not supposed to answer with that. So, I'll say . . . taking a full week to catch up with projects and errands that have been in the back burner. If I could have just a week to myself, I think I'd be a lot more organized and have this place cleared out of the mess. That, for starters, would make me happy!

I am the same as you and i think they would be all the same things i would do as well as a bit of me time would be soo wonderful,but i can only dream of this as i know that will never happen until the children have all grown up and have left home.

my wife would still insist... no money, no honey!

This Mummy would have liked to have had all chldren and grands together on that day but son and family are in Dubai. However I do give thanks for three out of four children and two out of four grands. Many years ago when my family was small I had a good friend who also had four children. she was financially better of than me. So twice a year, her husband took over the house and she booked into a hotel from Friday night to Sunday evening. She took a book to read - or two - and had a mani and pedi plus services f a masseuse and had her hair done. She cherished her quiet time as she said it rejuvenated her. Most of all she said she enjoyed eating a meal in peace without forever jumping up from the table for something. I always envied her

Hi dorannmwin, For Christmas I wish to hire a house keeper for few days. So I don't have to cook and clean and just laze around and watch dvd and play games with my sons on wii or ps2. Or watch anime with them.

what does mommy want for Christmas? Ans is NEW BABY (just kidding) mom only want that his child will be stand on his/her feet and face all challenges and have ability to solve all of his/her problems

I have been a full-time mother for four years yet I can get a little extra time for myself once in a while. For this Christmas, I just wish that me and my daughter will be able to travel and hope that my husband will allow us to do so.

i know just what you mean. been there, done that. many yrs ago as the old saying goes. my oldest was 8 yrs old before i got hardly an hour alone without they were in bed asleep then my in laws insisted on giving us the honeymoon we'd never had and sent us to the Marriot and watched the kids for the night and a day. it was heaven they even had an indoor heated pool and it was of course snow outside cause we lived in ohio at the time

I am a mom and a gramma, and I live where the winters are long and cold, so I think I would opt for a vacation in a small comfy beach-bum cottage in the Bahamas or Jamaica or somewhere like that :)) Fun question! Karen

i think that your arrangment is good for Christmas,sometimes we should give ourself full-time to share festivel and relax completely.although i have no child with my husband,but i often was busy with my job and life and few time to share,i find that it was good way to relax myself,i think that i would visit my husband family and share village life,the quite village life would be useful for me.

I remember when I was little my brother, sister and I made home made gifts for our mom and dad. I also remember how happy my mom was when we would help the church put together gift baskets for those less fortunate. We also donated to the toys for tots drive. Now, that I do not have any kids of my own I still make gift baskets full of treats and give them out to the family. I also make home made fudge and will bring them over to the Christmas Eve party. I still donate to the toys for tots drive and this year we donated to an organization that collects books for children. This always makes my mom happy.

This sounds like heaven to me! My oldest is 9 and I have had 17 days in that time without my kids. 15 of them they were with my parents out of state while we did an extensive whirlwind remodel of our house and it was too dangerous for them at home. the other 2 I was 7 months preg. with another child and went with my husband to a business affair, I don't think it was 2 full days even. no real mommy time at all. And since I homeschool.... (i've thought about assaulting my husband just to get the jailtime)

Wow I have been thinking of doing the same. I wish men would have designed bathrooms where u could see a tv while you soak in the hot massaging swirling water in the tub thats big enough to sit in. Light candles that you can set somewhere especially with kids ur counter must be full of "stuff". I like to read magazines in the tub. Now that my sons got older and moved out I have my own bathroom which is really nice. Now if I could just talk the husband into giving me a small version of a hot tub a flat screen tv on the wall and candle area table. I'd have it made I had to wait 20 years for this u know .Santa owes me BIG TIME I have plants and a siamese fighting fish in jar which is held by a plant hanger.I dont know what u do for a living it sounds to me u should be an interior designer.U would make millions because u know what an everyday housewife is going through. NO PRIVACY

I wouldn't be greedy.. i just want a two hour massage and a day where i can lay in bed and get waited on all day. just some time to myself. i have a 4 month old and i havent been away from him since he was born. so a day to myself would be heaven. come on santa bring me what i want!

well, i would like to go away for a nice weekend with hubby to the next big city and spend the weekend shopping! (hubby doesnt mind shopping!) or it would be a weekend buying crafting supplies and crafting!

Hi, dorannwin! I can't say that this mommy wants anything for Christmas, except a home for her and her family. I know this is supposed to be just for mom, but i have never been one to actually look out or worry about myself. I basically always put myself last. I don't think that i could even think of something just for me, it has been so long since i have worried about or even wanted something just for me, that i would not know where to begin. Merry Christmas!
