[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm really not a brat, I swear. But I've been feeling like the little red hen this past year. I have hosted them after the birth, the baptism, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and now mothers day! No one helped me after I had the baby (other than DH). Is there some day that I get celebrated?!

My idea of mother's day is vastly different than theirs. We were going to go camping or do a picnic. My mom is going to want a fancy brunch downtown (which are probably booked already). And then MIL will be jealous we spent baby's first mother's day with my mom...[/quote]

[b]Tell both of the grandmothers that you already have plans. You're going camping. Don't apologize, no excuses, just "that doesn't work for us this year, we already made plans." Then, you schedule flowers to be delivered to each grandmother on Mother's Day and don't give it a second thought[/b]. [/quote]

PP beat me to typing this exact post. Follow it exactly OP. If you choose not to, then you forfeit your right to complain about not spending the day how you wanted to. Set boundaries. [/quote]

Yeah, me too.  OP, you are acting like the biggest problem here is your MIL, but it's not.  It's your mother, and YOU - your Mom for just deciding to come, and you for not only meekly accepting that she's going to visit you, but apparently changing your plans after the fact because she has decided to visit.  Grow up, grow a spine, and sent and enforce some boundaries in your life.  [/quote]
