Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
I have a question and would just like to hear what everyone thinks. Do you feel that your husband should celebrate Mother's Day with you or would it be o.k. if he celebrated the day with his mother? Or do you believe the day should be spent together (You & MIL)?

Re: Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
I saw my mom on Saturday and his mom next week. For Mother's Day I just wanted to be with my DH and DD.
eta: Just so I don't sound mean my mom lives an hour away and my MIL is an hour away in the other direction. There's no way to see both mom's so we just do it separate.

Re: Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
I would like to be acknowledged seperately. If my dh wants to see his mother, that's fine...but I'd rather see my mom while he's doing that. Then we would spend the time together as a family afterwards.

We used to split the day between mothers. My MIL moved OOT, so it's no longer an issue.
This Mother's Day I spent both the morning & afternoon with the fabulous moms I know.

Re: Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
We spent the morning as a family and then went to a late brunch with my mom and his mom. Luckily things are pretty easy for us like that. There is NO WAY he could get away with not seeing his mom on Mother's Day or all he!! would break loose

Re: Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
We spend the morning up until about 2pm just us, then we all get together and usually bbq....my mom, sister, his mom and dad etc. This way we all get to see each other and no running around necessary!

Re: Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
Well my MIL lives in another country- so thats not really an issue.
We usually spend it all together as a family, especially now that me and my sister are also moms.
But this mother's day was a treat. We spent it with another mom who is truly an inspiration to us, and with patience I can only dream of

Me, I'm the mother...
I'm sorry if I'm sounding bitter, but I have many reasons that I won't mention as to why I'm this way...

Re: Who Should Mother's Day Be Spent With?
I agree with Stefanie on this one - I want to be acknowledged separately as well.
I have my own issues to deal with - so things aren't so rosy when it comes to inlaws.
Dh spent Saturday with his mom while I took my oldest to a birthday party. But at this point I would have made myself scarce anyway.
