[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you have to choose. Unless you have an all-day event planned, you can split your time between them, or you could plan a different day to see your mom. She's still your mom, so yes, I think it's reasonable for her to want to see you at least some time around Mother's Day because you're in driving distance.[/quote]

OP here and see my post above about everyone being 1.5 hours away.  I mean, I'm sure DW would like to spend time with her mom too so it's basically slicing the day up into thirds unless everyone came up here.  I like the idea of planning a different day though to see my mom and maybe just shifting the celebration a bit or like someone else said doing breakfast w/ my mom.[/quote]

Ask your wife what she wants to do. If you want to host all the moms, you'd better make sure that you are the one doing the hosting. Your wife plans NONE OF IT. She does none of the cleaning, none of the supply-gathering, none of the prep work, and none of the clean up. I think it would be absolutely lovely to have my mom and my MIL come over on Mother's Day, but I would be a bit annoyed if my husband expected me to do the hosting. That said, my mom and MIL live thousands of miles away from me and each other, so it's a moot issue for us.[/quote]
