[quote=Anonymous]I would feel the same way. And I'd be mostly pissed about having to do all the childcare for the day when he could have helped me on a day that's about being apprecited.

What do you actually want to happen? I know you wish he thought to do something for yiu, but he didnt. In an ideal scenario,  what would happen now? Cancel with granny? Take you too? Add another time for you?  You can't approach him until you know what you want. And then suggest it to him.

For me personally, I would want to have a nice morning with him and the kids. Have him let me sleep in. Go somewhere fun all together. Have him have the kids acknowledge it even if they just scribble on a piece of paper and he tells them it's a day to say thank you to mommy. And then if the kids can handle it, I wouldn't mind him bringing them to brunch with grandma so I can get a pedicure and catch a movie alone.

In this scenario I would tell him "let's do something fun together as a family in the morning. I love that we can be all together on mothers day. Remember to tell the kids about it so they can learn about saying thank you and doing something nice for their mother. And why don't you bring the kids to mom's so that this mom can enjoy a well deserved afternoon  or relaxation to celebrate. Besides, she would enjoy seeing her grandbabies"[/quote]
