  • Mother’s Day: Here’s what you can do to make your mother feel special without spending money

    Every year the second Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother’s Day and this year Mother’s Day will be celebrated on May 9, which is just around the corner.

    While mothers should be celebrated every day for their selfless love and sacrifices, Mother’s Day gives us a chance to make them feel even more special. The day holds significant importance as it gives us a chance to show our mother how much we love her. However, showing love can sometimes get tricky – sometimes you don’t have the right words and other times you just don’t know how to show it.

    Here is the list of the things you can do to make your mother feel special this Mother’s Day
    Watch something with her that she loves

    Whether it’s an old movie, or it’s a drama serial she loves or it is a cooking show she does not miss, turn on the TV and watch it together. If you are watching a show or a movie talk to her about her favorite characters and ask her what she loves most about them. It will make her feel special that you are taking interest in what she loves.

    Teach her something new

    There is no age of learning and anyone can learn anything at any stage of life. You can teach your mother anything she struggles with, for example, if she is not comfortable with technological devices you can show her how to use them. It is very common to lose patience while teaching something so remember not to lose your patience.

    Go through old pictures and albums with her

    Sit with your mother and take out an old album or pictures of her younger self. Looking at her old pictures will give a chance to your mother to revisit her old times with you, and will also help you understand her better way, which will eventually lead to a stronger bond between you two.

    Cook for her

    They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach but honestly, the way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach. So get into some action and cook a great meal for her. If you don’t know how to cook you can always take help from the internet.

    Talk to her

    Last but not the least, take out the time to talk to her. Sometimes we take the most basic of things for granted, and having an honest conversation is one of them. Being heard is one of the greatest feelings in the world and makes the other person feel special. Try putting down your phone, make a cup of coffee or tea anything your mother prefers and be a good listener.

    Do whatever you think will make your mother special, but anything you do should revolve around her – do not make it about yourself.

    Speaking to a local magazine, Zaidi shared that before her divorce, she requested her husband to leave their house as their children were growing up but he refused because the other woman had told him to end things with her first. Zaidi has two children – a daughter and a son.

    “I don’t understand why women cry after divorce for a person who is leaving them,” said Zaidi. “Crying is for when your husband passes away and you are in shock. I always wished that my house would not break or my husband should not divorce me. And even if he has no relations with me, his relationship with the children should not be bad so that it does not affect them.”

    She shared that after being in a relationship with the other woman for two years, her husband forcibly divorced her at the behest of his second wife.

    “I told him to do whatever you want but do not break our family as our children are growing but the other lady made sure to end our family,” said Ismat.

    The actor went on to say that when her husband divorced her, her in-laws stepped in to support her.

    “After the divorce, my husband wanted me to leave the house but my in-laws were very supportive. They said no one will leave the house and no extra person will enter this house. She will live here because we brought her,” said Ismat, adding that she was married for 23 years.

    “After my divorce, I have been really strong because my in-laws were really supportive and they even kept me in their house.”

    She shared that because of their support, she started working in the television industry right after her divorce and has been working since.

    Zaidi has been part of several super hit dramas including Mann Mayal, Beti, Meri Guriya, Deewangi, Meherposh and most recently Fitoor.
