[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you forgetting how much conflict comes from different generations of mothers within the same family having opposing wishes for how to spend the day? What is your practical advice for a husband whose mom wants to spend the whole day visiting with all of her children and grandchildren and have dinner at home, while his wife wants to sleep in, have an outing with her kids, and then go out to dinner?[/quote]

The mother who is currently actively mothering gets priority. [/quote]
In your opinion — but the fact is that there will be numerous posts from women whose husbands did something thoughtful for their own mothers, but nothing for the mother of their children.[/quote]

As they should.  I’m not my husband’s mother.  He should do something nice for his mother or at least call her.  I always heard a lot about how we didn’t do enough for my mom on Mother’s Day or appreciate her enough.  So early on, I made it a carefree easy day.  We get take out and there are no expectations.  I don’t need to be waited on like a queen.  [/quote]
