[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this comes up every year. I am feeling resentful about having mother's day brunch with my MIL. I'd rather DH plan something special for our family. His mom loves to be the center of attention and his brother will be out of town so it would crush her if she didn't spend some the day with at least one kid.

I've encouraged DH to come up with some kind of thoughtfully planned activity just for our family (DS is 2.5) at some point during the weekend.

Just a vent because I know there are others in the same boat. I know it's her day too but now that I'm a mom I don't want to share the day with in-laws that drive me bananas.

Just one of many things that makes me want to leave the area.[/quote]

Sounds like the pit of hell ... overpriced, crowded, fattening and stressful. You have all my sympathies, OP! This is the reason that I always opt for a picnic in the park. Can there be a compromise? Brunch with lonely MIL on Sunday but Saturday you get to relax either alone or in a more restful family activity?

Does it have to be EVERY year? Can't you alternate years so that you can enjoy the day too?[/quote]
