212 - The Mother's Day Fairy - For Unschooling Moms!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mother's Day can be a lot of things — wonderful, disappointing, emotional, or somewhere in between. For unschooling and homeschooling moms, there's an added twist: your kids aren't sitting in a classroom getting reminded to make something for you. No teacher. No craft. No school newsletter nudging dad to pick up flowers.
So this year? You become the Mother's Day Fairy. 🧚♀️
In this episode, Sue Patterson — mom to three now-grown unschooled kids and founder of Unschooling Mom2Mom — shares why unschooling really is a Mother's Movement, and how you can reclaim Mother's Day so it actually fits YOU and your family.
You'll hear:
- Why waiting and seeing is a recipe for disappointment
- The Mother's Day Fairy concept and how to make it a family tradition
- A practical night-before checklist so the day doesn't just arrive like a regular Sunday
- Why appreciation is an inside job — and what to do about it
- How to set your kids up for success without doing it all for them
Whether your Mother's Day has been wonderful, meh, or a total flop in the past — this episode will help you create something that actually feels good. No comparisons. No "what will people think." Just a day that fits the actual humans in your family.
Because that's what unschoolers do.
