[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of people that think it’s okay for DH to break the promises he previously made to his wife just because Granny is coming over is mind boggling. He’s a grown man. He made commitments to his wife that he’s now breaking. End of story. Maybe it’s because all of my grandparents died before I was 10, but the thought of a grown adult choosing to spend time with a grandparent over their own spouse and child is absurd.

Also, to everyone who keeps saying that the wife is not DH’s mom and therefore he doesn’t need to celebrate her? She doesn’t have grown children. The only way she gets celebrated is by DH doing something. What’s so hard to understand about that? Men shouldn’t become husbands if they can’t handle [b]the reality of marriage[/b].[/quote]

Hey, drama mama, when I was growing up moms got homemade cards and maybe a poorly made breakfast in bed from their kids.  It didn't require husbands rearranging their entire weekends.  We overdo everything in our society these days.[/quote]

THANK YOU.[/quote]

This is true and why I am so perplexed as to why the boomer generation of mothers expect the holiday to be about them, be hosted as the guest honor or have their adult children tow the grandchildren out to them for a visit several hours away. They never did this for their mothers when they were raising kids, why the sudden demand for Mother’s Day to be worship granny day? [/quote]

+1000 but I guess this seems to be the boomer MO [/quote]
