Re: Once you become a parent, do you still always see your mom/dad on mothers day/fathers day?
Before we had our DD and even now that she is here we all gather together so we don't have to rush to two different places. We are lucky that everyone lives close enough and everyone gets along. This year we will BBQ at our house and both sets of parents will be coming here for the day. The morning DH will have alone with DD until everyone comes for dinner.

Once you become a parent, do you still always see your mom/dad on mothers day/fathers day?
Now that we're parents mothers/fathers day is about us.
My mother was always a big fan of mothers day, so we took her out to dinner this year the night before. My dad we'll see at some point, but no set plans yet.
Dh's parents never made a big to do about it, so they're much easier

Re: Once you become a parent, do you still always see your mom/dad on mothers day/fathers day?
No actually I dont. My mom actually just called and invited me DH and the kids over to to her house to celebrate fathers day at her house.
We actually said no. I'm 9 months pregnant and DH has been working so much we thought it would be more relaxing to spend the day at home with our lo's who are 3 and 5.
I will defintely call my dad to wish him a happy fathers day but not going over.
My sister, her husband and my nephew are also staying home.

FIL lives in Florida, but we do see his mom and my parents for both mother's and father's day. Who knows what each year will bring? I'm thankful to share it with everyone.

Re: Once you become a parent, do you still always see your mom/dad on mothers day/fathers day?
Yes! We are close with both parents and it's important to celebrate the holidays together. My IL's don't live as close, but we will be celebrating with them at their home Saturday and they also invited my family over. Sunday we will just have my parents over since they live around the corner. Usually we do celebrate together, but bc my IL's are moving soon and have a lot to do it's easier for us to do it Saturday with them.

This is where you need to put your foot down if you want to spend time as your family unit. I had to do with with Christmas because it was too crazy running between families.
I get that people are saying it isn't about us the individual but it kinda is. We are all relatively new parents and we deserve to be celebrated and do what we choose for our family. My mom has been a mom for 42+ years. She is fine with letting be celebrate how I choose...same with my dad. My MIL is a different story but DH fought that battle.

No. My mom lives over 2 hours away and we have an understanding that we don't need to see each ON that day.
My inlaws are the same way but we live nearby.
My father expects it though. He thinks its his day only. Taken time for him to realize that my dh is a father too. So we try to celebrate on saturday so dh can have the day

I feel this way too. Im tired of it and next year we are doing what WE want. For mothers day I bought my mom a card and gift, my mil a card and gift, my 2 grandmas cards and my aunt a card + flowers. Guess what I got in return...... 2 cards- from MIL and SIL. At least they sent cards. My own mother and sister didn't even give me a card, let alone a small gift. Im still really hurt by it and I would LOVE to say something to them but its a sticky situation. Im done with worrying about everyone else and next year its going to be different!

On Mother's Day DH will take the kids to his Moms and I go see my Mom. Neither one of us have a father so we do whatever hubby wants.

My family usually gets together for everything so it's not uncommon to see everyone, my dad, grandfather and uncles, etc on Father's Day. I told DH we don't have to go see everyone tomorrow and if he wants to do something with just us, it's fine. But he doesn't have his family around so he actually wants to be with mine for things like this. Works for me. But I would have no problem staying with just the three of us.

I have a question. Why would you expect them to get you cards? Not trying to be snarky, just wondering. I understand why you got them cards (well not your aunt, but I just assumed she's helped mother you too).
For Father's Day, we got my dad and FIL gifts and cards, but DH would never expect something in return from them. My kids got their daddy something, but he wouldn't be expecting a card from anyone else. The same for me for Mother's Day. My SIL got me flowers which was very sweet but I was like why did you do that? I didn't get her anything for Mother's Day bc she is not my mom (or MIL).

We had a BBQ (the day before) and invited both sets of parents over. We'll be spending Father's Day with just our family this year.
