Easter and My Mom
DH's sister is hosting Easter dinner on Sunday. It is a given that my mother (who is alone) is invited ---I called my mom last night to let her know we are going to DH's sister's home for dinner on Sunday. My mom's response was that she was hoping that I was hosting this Sunday. She said she grateful for the invitation but she'll stay home. (my mom has been having anxiety and depression stemming from a car accident-4 yrs ago*!*)--now I feel sad that my mom won't be coming w/ us and how can I enjoy my Easter knowing my mom is home, alone, for Easter. Do I just go to the family dinner? I am frustrated, and really don't know what to do, have DH go to his sister's house w/ out me?
Thank you for your help/suggestions.

Re: Easter and My Mom
Can you go to your mother's house in the morning and have Easter breakfast?

Re: Easter and My Mom
This is a tough one. I guess what I would do is try to stop by both. I don't know if that's possible for you to do. Maybe you can go to your DH's sister's house for dinner, but then bring your mom dessert or something. Maybe you could convince her to go to DH's sister's for a little while? I know it's a difficult thing.

Re: Easter and My Mom
Could you and DH possibly pick her up?
Or would it be too out of the way?

We would have picked her up from the beginning, and I thought that we could bring her dessert and a plate of dinner on our way home. I don't know if she even realizes how this is making me feel. My brother and his wife are going to their friends on Sunday, his wife's father died this week and she is too upset to do anything...

Re: Easter and My Mom
Maybe you can tell her how you feel? But I definitely think you are entitled to spend the day with whomever you want - you invited your mom, and just b/c she doesn't want to go doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy Easter with your DH.
My mom can be a pain sometimes, in a similar way. She is the "misery-loves-company" type and I just don't feed into it.
