My baby’s 1st birthday falls on Mother’s Day this year. She was born the day before Mother’s Day last year but was in the NICU while I was recovering from complications with the delivery, so this will be my first “real” Mother’s Day. We normally do one big Mother’s Day celebration with my mom and 90 year old grandmother at her house, which is over an hour away. This year, I honestly want nothing more than to spend the day relaxing and celebrating with my daughter and my husband.
Since her birthday falls on a holiday, we’re having the party with all our friends and family the day prior. My mom doesn’t understand why I feel the need to celebrate my daughter’s birthday twice. She didn’t say anything to me directly by my sister let me know she was upset I didn’t want to do anything with her and my grandmother this year. AITAH?
