当妈妈说“母亲节，我什么都不要”……
7 Things A Mom Really Means When She SaysShe Doesn't Want Anything On Mother's Day
文章来源：www.romper.com 作者：Candace Ganger
每逢母亲节，家里人都会问我想要什么。我会说：什么都不要。事实上，当我说“什么都不要”时，我指的不是真的“什么都不要”。对于这句话背后的含义，我的家人已经心知肚明。如果你还不解其中意，那赶紧来学学吧。
Every year my family asks me what Mother's Day, an single year I tell them the same thing: Nothing.So, by now, they know that when I say "nothing" do notmean "nothing." In fact, there are more than a few things a momreally means when she says she doesn't want anything on Mother's Day, so ifyou're unfamiliar with this super secret language then, well... you betterstart e yourself, my friend.
在这个全世界都在给妈妈送礼物的日子里，一个妈妈说她什么都不要，其实是说她不想要什么礼物、惊喜之类的物件了。为什么呢？因为平时就是她管这些啊。
她准备惊喜餐，她负责挑礼物，你要送她去一个什么spa，她也得自己约时间。她一直管这些，总是管这些，管的都有点麻木了。
Because when a mom says she doesn't wantanything on the one day a year we're all encouraged to shower our mothers w, what she really means is that she does't want anymore stuff. Why? Youknow why. It's because the mom is the one who handles all of that stuff. Shewill be the one planning brunch, the one taking care of gifts, and the onemaking any appo to whatever spa you're to send her to th. She'll take care of it all, because she always does, and, well, she'skind of over it.
谢天谢地，我的家人很懂我。但其他妈妈是不是如此幸运就不一定了。所以各位请注意：当你家的那位妈妈说“母亲节，我什么都不要”时，你应该立刻把它解读为：
Thankfully, my family has what Imean when I say I don' t want anything for Mother's Day. But I know not allmothers are as lucky. So with that in mind, here's what a mom means when shetells you not to give her anything on her "special day." Payattention, people.
“我想睡个懒觉”
"Let Me Sleep In"
自从怀孕以来，妈妈就没睡过好觉。她想不起上一次长长的睡个好觉，在美梦中醒来是什么时候，也忘了自己不是全家起的最早的那个人时的情景。就让她多睡会吧，想什么时候起床再起床。
She hasn't had a night's sleep s was pregnant, people. She can no longer recall the last time she slept longenough to dream, or remember a morning when she wasn't the first person awake.Do the honorable thing and let her sleep in as long as she needs to.
“我今天不想做饭”
"Cook All The Food"
当妈妈说”什么都不想要”时，她的意思是什么都不想做。当然，这也包括做饭。从早到晚，一日三餐，别让妈妈做饭了，但是请用好吃的喂饱她·。
When a mom says she doesn't anything, shemeans she doesn't want to do anything. That, of course, cooking. Frombreakfast to to every meal in between, keep mom out of the k andfeed her constantly.
"Clean The House W MeAsking"
家务活在平时可以平均分配，但在母亲节这天，妈妈值得拥有“什么都不做”的一天。你来吸地、洗碗、洗衣服。让妈妈踏实坐在沙发上，看看她喜欢的书。
There's absolutely no reason why house can't be evenly every other day of the year to start, but onmom's day she a complete break. You can vacuum, you can do the ,and you can throw in a load of laundry. Mom, on the other hand, can sit back onthe couch with a nice book.
“我想别人带会儿孩子”
"Take Care Of The Kids"
这不意味着妈妈想完全和孩子分开，当然如果她想完全分开，也没有什么不对。其实她就是想从日常琐事中抽身出来休息一会儿。换尿布、脏衣服、吐食物，你知道该怎么办。
It's not that mom wants a complete breakfrom the kids. (Unless, of course, she does... an's absolutely noth with that, either.) It's just that she wants a break from all the k that can grow mundane after a while. A dirty ? That's yourbusiness. Spit up and a necessary change of clothes? You know where the ones.
“我想和自己约个会”
"Let Me Have Some Time Alone"
去喜欢的餐馆享用精美的午餐，有一段不被打扰的时间读一本好书，用一个下午去看场电影。让妈妈不用围着孩子转，去享受美丽的独处时间。
Let mom spend a lunch alone at her favor shop. Give her a few m of un time with a great book.Watch the kids while she takes herself to that one movie she wouldn't be ableto watch any other day of the year.
“对我说：你是最好的妈妈！”
"Tell Me I'm Doing Great"
每个人都需要得到认可。妈妈终日操劳，担心自己是否照顾到方方面面，她更需要得到认可。在母亲节这天，表达对妈妈的认可和真诚的欣赏，比什么昂贵的礼物都更有意义。
Every human being needs a l, and moms are no . An the mommy wars and mom gu a thing, telling mom that she's doing an job is theleast you can do on Mother's Day. In fact, in so many ways that's morethoughtful than an expensive gift.
“对我说：谢谢！”
"Thank Me For All The Work I Do"
我做了许多事，但是没有人说一句“谢谢”。其实我也不指望这个，毕竟不是为了让谁感谢我而这样做的。我所做的一切都是我自己的选择。是我想成为孩子的母亲，是我想成为那个在他们害怕、伤心、快乐、难过时想要投奔的怀抱。
, if ever, hear a "thankyou" for the work that I do. And you know what? I don't expect to. I'm nota mom for the accolades, to be sure, and so much of what I do is a personalchoice: I want to be my babies' mom. I want to be the person they run to whenthey're scared, hurt, happy, sad, an in between.
但是一句感谢，能让人倍感欣慰。所以如果妈妈说“母亲节，她什么都不想要”，至少你可以谢谢她，谢谢她每天默默无闻的付出，让我们的生活如此美好。
But every once in a while, a thank you . So when a mom doesn't want anything for Mother's Day, at leastthank her for all the unseen work she does on a daily basis.
