she is a homemaker and is currently in ldr with dad coz of his job, but she feels low as she doesn't have a 9-5 job to keep her distracted. she has a whole day job of guiding us in life and it gets monotonous and frustrating which i understand and also try to help around, but sometimes i am just busy coz of exams and projects and i can't help but get into small arguments as it is no ones fault.
Here are some ideas for subtly encouraging and supporting your mom:
- Help out more around the house without being asked, like doing dishes, laundry, vacuuming. The extra help will take some stress off her plate.
- Spend quality time listening to her when she wants to talk about her day or vent. Really listen without judgment and offer hugs/kind words.
- Cook one of her favorite meals as a surprise. Leaving a sweet note saying you're thinking of her.
- Plan a relaxing at-home spa day for her on the weekend. Give her a massage, do face masks together while chatting.
- Encourage her hobbies or suggest she join an online community for similar moms to socialize.
- Tell her cute stories about when you were little to make her smile and reminisce.
- Leave her little love notes of appreciation around the house for her to find.
The goal is showing her through small acts of service, not words, how much you care and appreciate all she does. Helping reduce her load in any way will lift her spirits! Hope this gives you some ideas, bro.
I think she needs a hobby. Friends, books, skydividing. Something like this.
Get her engaged in work. As you told she is a homemaker and her world revolves around you guiding you people etc. So use it.
If she loves cooking, request her politely that "mom can you cook... this Sunday I really crave for this". Or you can ask her to do something for you like to knit a sweater. Etc. Ask her to do things so that she could be busy and appreciate her whenever she fulfill that. Or while she is doing that. This way while you are busy she would also be busy and she won't feel bad. And when you are free to give her attention, you can do something for her like you can cook for her, you all family members together can play games, you can flirt with her you can tese her play with her and can make her feel like wanted.
Tell her every day that you appreciate everything she does and help her out with whatever you can. Make sure she has some time to herself everyday, where she can do what she likes. Maybe go out and so stuff together regularly so she can get out of the house and have fun too. Encourage her to pick up a hobby or go to see her friends or family.

Do they chat and video call daily? 😄
I agree what others suggested. You can also watch a movie together, eat together, or take her to places she's never been before. That's what I also did to my mom when she felt alone. 😊
she can just apply for even a part time job? in the nicest way, its not your responsibility when there's literally a simple answer
you don't
