[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should have taken control instead of berating him. Maybe he's just clueless.  You could have bought a cake, made a nice dinner and had the kids make you MD cards to put on the refrigerator. Let DH know it's not just about his mother. You could have been involved in the call to ensure it was about both mothers. Next time use good psychology.

I had the same problem when I was first married. Every Mother's Day we had to meet his mother,, and entire family at the same restaurant. His mom had to be the center of attention, it grew tiresome. The next Mother's Day I was pregnant and we hadn't told his family. I made sure to tell everyone at the restaurant, totally stole her thunder.  I also made sure let my kids know that we were celebrating all the mothers in the family. And I made sure to say that at the restaurant.  After his mom died (a few years later) that was that and the holidays became much easier.[/quote]

This just puts extra work on OP's plate though. Ordering her own cake. Cooking. Getting the kids to make a card. Forcing yourself into a call to someone else. [/quote]
