[quote=Anonymous]This is sort of a weird situation and I'm not sure how to go forward. My husband works really long and odd hours (medical field) and often works holidays and weekends. He's worked all Mother's Days since we've been married (10yr) until last year. It was MY first Mother's Day with him off last year, but his mom made a huge fuss so we spent the whole day with her.

And I am NOT one to celebrate holidays. I just don't care. I understand they were mostly made up by card companies, etc.

Or, I guess I thought I didn't.

My husband is off again this year. Today, out of the blue, he mentions that, "I think I'm going to invite my mom to brunch at "fancy restaurant" for Mother's Day." Just his mom and him, not me, not the kids.

He knows I'm not the brunch type, I know I'm not the brunch type, but I can't help but feel a little ticked off. I'm feeling really unappreciated. He made no mention of doing anything at all for me. I'm not the jealous type, and this is really out of the ordinary, but I am so jealous that he didn't think to do something I would enjoy and invite me. Or think to spend the day WITH me and the kids.

I just yelled at him because I'm upset. I think we are both shocked. I don't want him to cancel his plans with his mom, but I'm sort of feeling a little spiteful of her and upset with him. Am I overthinking? [/quote]
