Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
This year obviously is special for me because it's my first year with Reilly. Usually I host it so that both families can come over and we don't have to split the day up. This year I really don't feel like having to prep anything and would rather just enjoy the "special" day! But I am so conflicted on how to do this because we still have to see both families. I would like to go to Brunch with DH and the Baby alone, is that wrong? How do you spend your day?

Re: Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
I have three MILs, but none of them are local or need to see us on Mother's Day, so I just send them flowers.
Christopher and I go to the city the day before Mother's Day to see my mom. Then ON Mother's Day, we do somthing as a family

Re: Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
For some reason, I dont make it as important for me, I worry about my mom and MIL.
So I split the day between two, am/pm.
I see them both and enjoy the day with my family.

I think you should do that...spend it with just DH and DD...I am SURE everyone will understand. I would just relax the entire day, and maybe they can arrange things so you don't have go anywhere. Stop by after the three of you are back..KWIM?
I can't speak for splitting the day...mine and DH's mothers have both passed away.

Thanks for the input girls, maybe I will just have it at my house so we don't have to run all over to see everyone.

Re: Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
Last year was my first Mothers Day and the only way I wanted to spend it was with DH and DD. We will be doing the same this year.
My mother lives in Florida and I don't have much of a relationship with her.

Re: Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
We used to take everyone out for Mothers Day before I was a mom, but it started getting too expensive (13 ppl!).
Now we have everyone over to the house - sometimes DH's family comes, sometimes they don't but they are invited.
DH BBQ's so I don't have to do much and I gently "remind" my brothers that they should do the dishes

Re: Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
We do what I want as a family. Last year we just went to the Milleridge with my BIL and SIL. My inlaws didn't want to come. We then went out to dinner with my parents.
This year I wanted to do the Milleridge again and supposedly my inlaws are coming with us this time. We will then go to my moms house to see my aunts and grandmother.

We send both my mother and MIL flowers or some sort of plant. Last year DH and I went out to brunch then I went to get massages and mani/pedis with my mom and sister. Best mother's day ever!

Oh God I love you......
Last year I had to drill it into DH's head that now that I am a mother to OUR son, guess what? Mother's Day is about ME now, most importantly.
Yes, our mother's are special, and we WILL see them, but now that I gave him a son, WE are the family and I come first.
The lightbulb went off which was a shocker, but I think the bulb got a little loose over the year and needs to be tightened. When Mother's Day came up recently, he said we have to see what everyone wants to do.
Ummmmmmm, no we don't.........
Let me add that we all WERE together and went out for dinner last year so it was a win-win!

Re: Mother's Day? How do you split it up or handle the day?
I figure it's my mother's day and i can spend it how i want to. Can't have my MIL over here since my DH's sister's always want to do go out to see her. So this year, i'm just going to do what i want which is go out to dinner and extend the invitation to both my mom and MIL and whoever comes comes.

Me too 
Since we bought our house 4 1/2 years ago, I make Mother's Day and have both families over. It makes it easier on me and my children so we/they can see everyone. My sister's MIL comes as well as aunts/uncles/whoever! The more the merrier

Breakfast with inlaws.
Go to my dad's to celebrate mothers day and my bday with my sister and SIL.
My mom passed away in 2008, so, after breakfast we go to the cemetary as well.
