[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many of you wait until this one annual Sunday to "catch up on rest" you should be negotiating with your spouse every weekend so that both of you have your rest time and personal time. There would be a lot less angst about this very special day if you managed the rest of the weekends better.[/quote]

NP. My inlaws are 2 hours away and my mom is 15 min away. I don't need personal time on Mother's Day, but what most of us get is the complete opposite. I just don't have the energy to cook a massive meal for everyone, clean my entire house, make a gift by hand from my kids... DH definitely helps (he's our main cook) but we have 3 kids so anything we do requires both of us. And what I REALLY don't want to do is drive to MIL's house.

I actually would be content if mother's day didn't happen. I am annoyed if I have to do all the work, I'm guilty if I do nothing for mom/MIL. It's just a bad spot to be in. I enjoy being a mother and would just like a day with my kids. [/quote]

Me again. I'm trying to send DH to MIL's for the day, but the kids wanted to spend it with me. They're preschool- early elementary aged. Nothing I ever do is going to be enough. I hate mother's day. [/quote]

Your poor kids. They are going to therapy to deal with being raised by a perpetual victim. [/quote]

Lol no little kids are paying that close of attention on Mother’s Day to be able to notice subtle family dynamics like that. [/quote]
