[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t understand why your mom would ask if you are coming when she knows you have a wife, plus an MIL equally nearby.  It’s one thing for you to invite her somewhere; it’s another for her to assert that she is the priority.[/quote]

So before the kids were born I think we would just do the holiday separately which in my mind made sense so maybe she just assumed we would continue doing it that way.  Or, I dunno, maybe just as I assumed once there were kids you spent the day with DW and kids she assumed I would be spending it with her.  Clearly there is a divergence of opinions moreso that I thought there would be.

Anyways, just to follow up, I talked to DW about it and my initial instinct was correct that she would like to spend the day with me and the kiddos.  She specifically wants to do brunch which I understand because our toddler is a pancake monster and it's fun watching her go to town on pancakes.  My mom already has plans for Saturday with my dad and this other couple they hang out with so Saturday looks shot on their end.  I'm going to propose we do something next weekend.  I guess going forward I will keep this in mind and try to book something with my mom the Saturday before Mother's Day.
