Mars Needs Moms - What My Kids Would Miss Most About Me If I Were Abducted By Aliens

I had four children within five years so needless to say, my house is full of the “sweet” sounds of kids’ voices. Becoming a “mom” definitely changed me and has given me so many wonderful and interesting experiences. So, when I saw the commercial for the new movie coming out, “Mars Needs Moms,” I thought, what a great concept! So many times, when you become a mom, you do things for your children and for your family and because you love them. Sometimes it’s only when you are not around that they realize all that you do. I know I feel that way about my own mom (and my husband feels that way about his own mom, too) – thanks, Moms!

Like the premise of the movie, “Mars Needs Moms,” what do I think my kids would miss most about me if I were abducted by aliens:

10) How I do the grocery shopping so that they have enough food to eat. Case in point, we were well-stocked for the blizzard earlier this month.
9) That I do the laundry for them and make sure they have enough clean clothes.
8) The fact that I love to read with them (and make the sound effects to go with it).
7) That I like to meet their friends and be involved in their classrooms.
6) That I remember what their favorite things are and appreciate them.
5) That I like to make every day an adventure for them – even if it’s just doing the normal every day things.
4) That I will sing and dance with them at any given moment.
3) That I laugh at their jokes and find them so funny. They are my best form of entertainment.
2) That I think they are all smart, kind, and wonderful kids and that I encourage them to make a difference in this world.
1) That I have a special thing I tell each of them before they go to sleep, before I drop them off at school, and whenever I have to go somewhere, like a meeting, where I can’t take them with me. It’s a special something that lets them know that no matter if we are not together, I am still with them, and they are still with me.

So, we’d love to know – what do you think your kids would miss the most about you if you were abducted by aliens? Please leave a comment.
