Summarize:

Mother's Day occurs each year on the second Sunday of May in most countries, including the United States, Canada, much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, and India. In the UK and Ireland, however, it occurs on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and most Arab countries celebrate it at the Spring Equinox in March. In making plans for Mother’s Day, it’s most important to consider what your mom would like to do. Ensure that whatever plans you make don’t require your mom to do anything. It’s her day to just have fun and relax. Pay attention to the things your mom says throughout the year so that you can surprise her on Mother’s Day. It’s okay to ask her what she’d like to do, but it would be even better to surprise her by showing you’ve been paying attention. You might even note down things she says she’d like in a secret list on your phone or in a notepad. Like you, your siblings, if you have any, and your mom’s partner likely want to make her feel special on Mother’s Day. Tell everyone in your mom’s life about your plans and ask about theirs. Ensure that your plans and gift ideas work with everyone else’s.  For instance, you might run into problems if you all plan a special event at the same time. If you talk about it, you can make sure everything is scheduled at different times. In some cases, you might decide to all pitch in to get your mom a big gift, like a day at the spa. Once you’ve considered your mom and consulted with your family members, put together a detailed plan for Mother’s Day. You might do this in cooperation with your other family members.  It’s important to make the plan detailed because you don’t want there to be any stress for your mom that day. For example, if you’re planning to cook a meal, make a grocery list of what you need and write down how long you think it will take to make the meal so that you can have it ready at a suitable time.
Know which day Mother’s Day is. Put your mom first on Mother’s Day. Discuss the day with your other family members so plans don’t overlap. Create a detailed plan for the day.
