So uh, married guys out there... How do you guys go about splitting up mothers day between your mom, and your mother in law? Do you ever run into the scheduling conflicts? maybe this is just an issue at my house.
Honestly, I have this creed in life. Eff ur in laws. They didn't do **** to raise you and all they do is whine and b****. So let their own child take care of them. That said, I love my mom and I'll be spending this mother's day with my mom.
We live so far away from mother and mother-in-law, and grandmothers for that matter, it's no big deal. Phone time with each and we got gifts mailed yesterday.
Unfortunately, I don't live close enough to my mom to celebrate it with her. If they both lived in town, I imagine we'd do a joint brunch.
For Christmas and Thanksgiving we started a "every other year" program. If Thanksgiving is with my family then Xmas is with hers. Then the next year it is reversed. Maybe you can do a every other mothers day thing or a lunch with one/ dinner with the other.
i'm so glad i don't partake in these "special" holidays. my mom doesn't need anything from me to know i love her. as a matter of fact, do something special for her when it's NOT mother's day. she'll remember it alot it better, trust me. and you'll spend alot less.
I already called my mother in law for Mexican mother's day yesterday... "ALLRIGHT???? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM MEEEEEEE???!!!?" (name the movie) On Sunday, we will do mother-in-law first (it's closer to the house) in the morning, then my mom's house later (in the afternoon), then everyone related to my grandmother visits her for being the matriarcal leader in our family in the evening and we eat MOLE. Yeah, I called all the Mexican moms yesterday... MOM first, Wife second, a bunch more... then I lost track and then mother-in-law... but SHHhHHhHhh!!! No Say Nothin'!!!
