Celebrating Mom Also Means Promoting True Love

May 10th isn’t just a day to give flowers or share hugs. It’s a day full of emotions—a moment to honor the women who gave us life, love, and care. But it’s also a unique opportunity to reflect on the kind of love we are promoting in our society, especially within family and maternal relationships.

At Amor del Bueno, we believe that honoring our mothers goes beyond material gifts—it means building relationships rooted in respect, equality, and genuine love. Throughout history, many women, especially mothers, have lived in environments where love was tied to sacrifice, silence, or even abuse. Today, we want to be clear: we all deserve a different kind of love—a Love that’s Good.

Mom deserves…

Relationships free from violence

Celebrating Mom means recognizing that no mother—and no woman—should have to live in a relationship where her emotional, physical, or psychological well-being is at risk. True love is not measured by sacrifice or submission, but by respect for each person’s dignity and rights. No mother should feel trapped in an environment where abuse, manipulation, or control are normalized.

Spaces to Heal

Many mothers have grown up under the pressure of the idea that true love means sacrifice, suffering, or even silence. Often, we are taught that being a mother means giving up one's identity, desires, and well-being. It is essential to provide them with spaces to heal—spaces where they can express their emotions, receive support, and find ways to experience motherhood in a full and conscious way. Supporting them in their healing journey is also an act of true love.

Support for Respectful Parenting

Raising children shouldn’t be a lonely act, nor should it be marked by guilt or despair. Respectful and conscious parenting becomes possible when mothers have access to emotional, social, and psychological support networks that allow them to raise their children from a place of well-being—understanding that they don’t have to do it all alone. Community support, validation, and respect for their choices are essential so that mothers can give their best without sacrificing their own well-being.

How Can We Honor Mom with Amor del Bueno?

By Fostering Relationships Based on Respect

Respect isn’t just about following rules—it’s about building connections where both mothers and children are heard, understood, and supported. Relationships based on blind obedience or fear are never healthy. Amor del Bueno encourages mutual understanding, where everyone’s needs and desires are acknowledged and valued.

By Recognizing Her Right to Be a Woman Beyond Being a Mother

Being a mother is only one part of a woman’s identity. Honoring mom means seeing her as a whole person—with dreams, passions, aspirations, and needs that exist beyond motherhood. She has the right to enjoy life, care for herself, and pursue her goals without being solely defined by her role as a mother.

By Supporting Her in Setting Boundaries

Self-care is a vital expression of self-love. Helping mom establish boundaries—with her time, her energy, and her commitments—is essential for her to find balance. Supporting her decisions to care for herself is also an act of love, as it affirms her right to prioritize her emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

By Teaching the New Generations About Healthy Love

Love shouldn't hurt. It shouldn’t demand extreme sacrifice or leave emotional or physical scars. Teaching our children that love is built on respect, fairness, and mutual care is one of the greatest gifts we can offer them. In doing so, we help build a future where relationships are healthier, more empathetic, and more responsible.

This May 10th, Give More Than Flowers—Give Amor del Bueno

This Mother’s Day, we invite you to go beyond flowers. Give your mom the chance to experience healthy relationships, to choose her well-being, and to find—not only in her family but also in her community—a space of true love. This kind of love strengthens families and is also a powerful act of social justice.

We truly honor our mothers when we promote an environment where they can be fully themselves—where they can heal, grow, and thrive without fear or guilt. Give her Amor del Bueno, because loving this way is an act of revolution, justice, respect, and above all, genuine love.
