How would you handle this Mother’s Day weekend?

Whichever grandmother sees the grandkids the least gets to see them and their own kid on Saturday. The other parent goes alone. And just the immediate family together on Sunday.

You visit your mom Saturday with kids.
Sunday everyone stays home and you have a family day.

If her mom has gotten the kids every previous Mother’s Day wouldn’t it make sense for his mom to get them this year?

Not necessarily. The drive sounds much longer to MIL. I wouldn't make the kids do that. They can do something a different time with kids+MIL.

No it doesn't she say her parents are the day long drive. Sounds like a lot of driving for just one day the kids probably don't prefer that.

This is why people dislike boomers. It’s Mother’s Day and OPs daughter has something planned but that should be thrown away because wouldn’t the boomer grannie prefer to be celebrated by her grandkids? It’s generational narcissism.

Go throw your hissy fit on grandparents if you feel you aren’t celebrated enough but stop trying to grab holidays that have nothing to do with you.

Saturday isn’t Mother’s Day. Calm down boomer hater.
