[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]

You should get the day off - no hosting!  Your mom and MIL can meet you for brunch if they would like to do that.  The rest of the day should be spent how YOU like.

We often take everyone to brunch on fathers day or mothers day, but it turns out to be a $300 bill (last time was $450 for 12 people). DH and I always paid because we're treating our dads and grandpas, but now that we have kids it's just crazy to pay for a brunch for so many. We really, really cannot afford it. We've stopped going to dinners with family also because we can't afford it. We always get stuck paying after our parents order up the bill. [/quote]

Yuck. Seriously is this what you'd do to your adult kid when s/he marries and has kids at home!?! Make them pay every social bill!?![/quote]
