With all the events going on during Mom’s Weekend, there is really no excuse to sit around while the time that could be spent making memories with your mom ticks away. However, that does not necessarily mean making your mom tag along with you to places or doing things you would do on an average college-life weekend.
Here are three things not to do with your mom during Moms Weekend:
1. Don’t take her out for fast-food
This is the lady who raised you and loved you even when you broke her favorite vase, so she deserves a lot more than a Big Mac from McDonalds. Moscow has plenty of great restaurants where you can treat your mother to a nice, delicious meal that shows how much you appreciate everything she has done for you.
2. Don’t hang around your room watching TV all day
Your mom has seen you watch TV before. Chances are she wants to see that you have matured into a more productive student who is excited about college and the college experience. So get out of your room and participate in the campus activities or take her on a tour of Moscow and the surrounding communities.
3. Don’t take your mom to a party
You may love going to parties, your mom may love going to parties, your mom may even think going to a party with you will be fun, but there are better options available that still allow you to have a casual drink with your mom. Take her to one of the wine tastings or buy her a drink at one of the local bars.
One more thing
Don’t forget to thank your mom for coming out to see you. You will always be her baby, and she will go to the moon and back for you, but it is important to let her know how much you love her and to thank her for taking time out of her schedule to spend a weekend with you.
