Celebrating Mothers Day - Again?!

My MIL, who lives locally, was out of town to attend a relative's funeral. Wasn't home until Monday and therefore, "missed" Mothers Day. She sent an email to my DH inviting us to come over this Sunday to celebrate Mothers Day. I am also a mom and spent part of the day visiting my own nearby mom. DH stayed home while I visited alone. I was thrilled that MD was low key and figured, if MIL is out of town, DH will just deliver her some flowers and a card ASAP when she gets home...not have to do a rain check celebration a week later.
How do I get out of an agonizingly long, belated MD celebration? Thoughts? |

Do you like your MIL?
If it makes her happy just go with the flow. I will not kill you. |

| Just go for a visit, don't need to think of it as a Mother's day celebration. DH can bring flowers and a card. |

+1 Some people get a little too diva-ish over this sort of stuff. Maybe she's one of those people who doesn't like to feel gypped and that she gets her fair share in everything. A very tiresome habit for all involved. |

We always have 2 Mothers' Day because mine lives in France, where MD is later in May. So we both get 2 celebrations!
Go with the flow, even if your MIL is the "me me me" type. |

Clearly you don't like your MIL, or this wouldn't even be a question. |

| OMG is it that hard to visit your MIL for a day? You got the mother's day you wanted already and didn't have to deal with her then - be happy. |
