[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Ok, gosh this blew up. I know I am going to get slammed for adding this piece of context about why I'm particularly annoyed about the pushing of mothers day on DH.

Yes, DH left today to go spend the day with his family. It's fine, I didn't go as reccomended and am actually enjoying some quiet time at home.

The frustrating/annoying part about this is, DH's parents lives 2+ hours way in a cabin BUT his parents  never sold their original family home in town, that they rent out to their other adult children.

They could have hosted a mothers day in town and limited everyone to 15-30 minutes drive time, but insisted on hosting at their cabin 2+ hours away. I didn't want my 4 y/o to have to spend Saturday 4 hours in the car, I didn't want to be responsible for cleaning the house on Saturday.

And I do appreciate the cleaner suggestion. We are relatively frugal and try to save money, so a cleaner would be nice but it's kind of out of our budget. I might look for one that's in our budget, last time we had a cleaner it was $400-500/month and I preferred to just save the money and do the cleaning myself. I am the kind of person that needs to have a clean home, if it gets messy and gross (and it does, with a 4 year old, messy husband, toys, sheets needing to be washed and laundry needing to be done ... etc)..

I asked DH why he thinks FIL is so insistent on hosting this weekend and he said:

It's because his Dad did renovations on his cabin and wants to show off his new garage. The most annoying part is grandma lives 20 MINUTES AWAY from our house! DH can visit her anytime he wants. FIL is asking the 90+ year old grandparents to sit in a car also for 4+ hours in one day. DH has *never* visited his grandmother for mothers day in his entire adult life, but spends ample time with her every once in a while going to lunch, church, etc. [/quote]
