๐ Mother ๐
Your Mother carried you inside of her womb for Nine Whole Months, she felt Sick for Months with Nausea, then she watched her feet swell and her skin stretch and tear. She struggled to climb stairs, she got breathless quickly and even a simple task like putting her shoes on was a huge struggle for her. She suffered many sleepless nights while you kicked and squirmed inside of her and while you demanded that she scoffed junk at 3.a.m., she then went through EXCRUCIATING PAIN to bring you into this World. She became your Nurse, your Chef, your Maid, your Chauffeur, your Biggest Fan, your Teacher, your Agony Aunt and your Best Friend. She's Struggled for you, cried over you, fought for you, put herself second for you, hoped the best for you and has driven herself insane with worry for you but never has she asked for anything in Return because she Loves You and did it all on Love Alone! Most of us take our Mums for Granted but there are People who have Lost or have never even seen theirs. If you have a Loving Mother who did all of this for you, you are very lucky, never Devalue her Worth because Oneday, you'll wish you Hadn't ๐น๐น๐น๐น

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to โexuberanceโ? ๐ฅ
In The Postโs opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weโre โallergic to exuberance.โ
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itโs worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
