She decided she wanted everyone over for Mother’s Day. Only problem with that is this will be my first Mother’s Day. I don’t want to spend it with her. Now my husband is upset because I’m making this a big deal when I can just go along with MILs plans since we don’t have any actual plans yet ourselves (another husband problem). My MIL had no idea if we had plans or not. She just expects us to go with her plans. I also can guarantee she is not planning on celebrating the other mothers in the family (aka her DILs).
These gatherings are just everyone eating and talking and then watching the kids play (ours is only 6 months old so he won’t be joining in the kid stuff) gatherings with my ILs are boring and absolutely nothing “special” happens. It’s possibly the worst way I’d want to spend my first Mother’s Day.
What do I do? I’m leaning towards not going but my husband wants to celebrate his mom. My mom passed away so that might make MIL think she matters more since I “don’t have one anymore”
