Mother's Day plans?

[imimahoney]

Every year we have to see MIL on mother's day and it pisses me off. For once I just want the day about my family.

Dh is going to ask her, fil and sil and her family if they want to come over for brunch on Saturday. That way we see them for the holiday but I get my family day. I hope she doesn't put up a fight about it.

What is everyone else hoping to do?

We're celebrating with my mom today. My sister and I are taking her and my grandma out for brunch. The ILs come Friday so we will take them out next weekend. The actual day of we're flying back from Mexico so nothing that day, other than a glorious day without kids until 6pm lol.

H is on call on Mother's Day (Baer) but we are going to dinner with his parents the night before.
On Mother's Day I'm hoping his on call isn't bad... it will be last minute decision
I'd like to hang out at home then maybe go to a park to play and have a picnic lunch then take a nap!
Or I could be hanging with the kids while he works all day

[jg183]

I hinted I wanted a bike for family bike rides (I only have a road bike) but not sure if he heard my hints

DH leaves early that afternoon for a week in South Africa, so I plan on sleeping as late as possible and basically having zero responsibility for anything until he heads to the airport lol.

My MIL is out of state so we just send flowers.

Matt leaves the day before to go away for a month, waaah.

[chirpchirp]

I'm hoping to sleep in that morning. I'll send my mom a card.

My mom lives too far away so we won't see her. My mil lives in our same town. I may encourage my dh to take her out on Saturday then on Mother's Day we can be lazy which sounds ideal to me. My mil is not big on holidays so she won't care if we even celebrate but I'll make sure we do something small.

We're going to brunch with both of our families.

[kkfeb04]

Same thing every year. H works 12 hours just like every Sunday and I get a day of my children being loud and getting tortured by their constant noise. And I will cook all 3 meals and will probably be up earlier than I would be for work as the kids don't sleep in on weekends.....

Oh but I'm planning a baseball game trip with upgrade to an all you can eat BBQ place (only he eats it) for Father's Day and already called for him to be scheduled off.........

We always do something with my mom and grandma and sisters, and will also have to do something with my MIL and probably see H's grandma. Not exactly what I want to do.

H usually gets me a little something. I'd rather have a day of just our immediate family, but it will probably never happen.

We are going to brunch with my family. That's all I know. My H was supposed to be oot for work but it got changed so that's nice.

[teamhayes]

I need to google when Mother's Day is

[teamhayes]

Ok 2 weeks away
I think I will suggest mimosas then head to the zoo weather permitting
Maybe grill dinner
Not sure if my mat leave is over the next day

More than likely we will go to the cape and see my h parents then my mom and perhaps drop by my dads

Realistically no one will remember much like my birthday this year

[TrudyCampbell]

I see no one from either family.
We will be having brunch and then going to a picnic event at the New York botanical gardens. The event is really cute and they provide picnic blankets, have food trucks, live music and free wine for all moms!

[thedahliharpa]

We are going to see my families the weekend before. It's my choice because I travel for work the Tuesday after MD and want to be home that weekend. But that means...we'll see his mom.
We may go see Me First & The Gimme Gimmes the Friday of MD weekend for *my* celebration.

[bean47]

My H is working so I'll just do something fun with the girls. Hopefully the weather is nice. He mentioned maybe taking the day part of his shift off, which would be nice.

[bebeetmoi]

We are going to have brunch in Boston with my family. Then the three of us are going to go see a production of 'Annie'.
After, I have no idea. I wouldn't mind a little shopping, or just going home and having the house to myself to nap in peace & quiet.

He listens! My h asked today when we would have time to go bike shopping!

[vthokie]

It hasn't been mentioned at all here. I should probably suggest something so he doesn't forget

[tennisgal]

Well last yr, mh suggested that 'we' host brunch....but I flat out told him no, knowing that 'we' would end up being me. He was baffled that I didn't want host with a 6wk old. I ended up being the one to make our reservations and we went to dinner as no place still had brunch openings by the time all was decided.
I suppose I should go ahead and make reservations now...

[laurack]

We normally drive up to MIL and take her out to dinner so I suppose we'll do that again this year.

Not sure about the rest of the day

[fusion]

We usually go to the plant nursery and pick out some garden things and sometimes my stepdad will do a BBQ.

[nannerl]

Lol. I haven't even thought about it. We've had Easter, DH' s birthday, our anniversary, and A's birthday all in the last 2.5 weeks, so I'm kind of evented out. I might just get myself some sandals and call it a day 😄

[ktstorm]

We're going cabin camping that weekend - my idea, but I forgot it was mother's day, lol.

[mumegs]

We always go spend the weekend with my mom and my extended family. We are very close and they are about 2.5 hrs away so we don't get to see them that often, especially in the winter. I am excited I haven't seen my mom in like 2 months.
