National Lazy Moms Day is celebrated annually in the USA on the first Friday of September.

History of the holiday
The exact date of the holiday’s origin is unknown, but it began as a way to remind that moms also need rest. Daily chores, work, and household responsibilities often leave women with little time for themselves. National Lazy Moms Day was created to encourage moms to take a break from daily duties for one day and enjoy a well-deserved rest.

Meaning of the holiday
This day is not about being truly “lazy,” but about allowing moms to rest, relax, and take care of their own well-being. It emphasizes the importance of balancing family care with self-care.

How it is celebrated
On this day, families try to relieve moms from household duties and also:

* take care of cooking and cleaning;
* give mom time for rest, sleep, or hobbies;
* organize walks together, trips to cafés, or spa visits;
* pay more attention to her wishes and interests.

Significance of the holiday
National Lazy Moms Day reminds us that rest is not a luxury but a necessity. Caring for a mom’s well-being helps strengthen the family and create harmony in relationships.
