[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from another country and have no connection to Mother's Day because of this. I am married to an American, and DH's mom is into Mother's Day. His parents were with us this year for the holiday. MIL took my daughter for a walk, and asked her whether she had a gift organized for me. My kids know Mother's Day isn't important to me, so DD told her grandmother a version of this. MIL bought her a box of chocolates to give to me. I didn't love this because it felt like she was imposing her views on our family - but was going to let it slide. We took her to Mother's Day lunch, and she asked my kids if they had made cards for me. I responded and said that we don't really do Mother's Day. She said pointedly, "Well, its important for the children". There were other things like this. Am I over-reacting to be upset about this sort of thing? [/quote]

You guys took her to lunch to celebrate Mother's Day and she wanted you to be honored also, She sounds like a good MIL.[/quote]
