[quote=Anonymous]OK, OP. I get that you need to be celebrated on Mother's Day, but do you need an entire day of just you? Why can't you wake up with your nuclear family, have a small breakfast with something fun like donuts or cinammon rolls, open a few cards and gifts, and then have dinner with other family members?

For your birthday, same deal. Breakfast or dinner can be your special moment, so how are you not getting a full day? Stop the joint celebrating. (Are you and DH really having a full-scale party? If so, stop. Unless it's a milestone birthday, really, stop.) My husband's birthday was on a Thursday a few weeks ago. We went out with the kids to dinner the weekend before, and on the day of, we opened cards and had eggs and cinnamon rolls in the morning. That night, we had a normal dinner and had cupcakes. Happy Birthday! No adult needs a full-scale party, really.

Who even but the couple celebrates anniversaries, unless it is 25, 50 or whatever true milestone years? My ILs and parents send us a card. That's about it. My *husband* and I celebrate, because it's our special day.
