[quote=Anonymous]Friday - My house gets deep cleaned by my cleaner.

Saturday - DH looks after the kids.  The lawnmower guy mows and spruces up the yard. I go with MIL for pedicure, massage and a panera lunch/costco lunch (hey yes MIL and I are both cheap).  Selfies. Kiss, kiss, hug, hug. Then I come home and sleep. Dinner is Chinese takeout. Order enough dishes so that Sunday dinner is also covered.

Sunday - Kids snuggle with me. Give me a card and a cup of tea in bed.  Kiss, kiss, hug, hug...photo.  DH and kids take out MIL and FIL for brunch. Cards (I sign too), photos. Kiss, kiss, hug, hug. I continue to bed-rot. Take a bath. Eat Costco salad.  DH comes back... we all watch TV, eat Chinese leftovers.

If my parents are around...I follow the same script.  Except my mom and dad get added to the celebrations and I may then decide to attend the sunday brunch. No separate celebrations with both sets of parents etc.

Over 3 days...my MD gifts are -
- a clean house, spruced up lawn
- bed-rotting and warm bath
- Chinese takeout for two nights
- Bed tea
- Massage, pedicure and lunch with the moms. 
- Photos shared on our group chat
- Having my DH keep my kids out of my hair for two days. 
- Giving a break to my MIL (and my mom), spending some time with her/them doing something that I like (massage/pedicure), having no woman in the family cook or take care of the kids.  
- Not getting flowers so that I don't have to take care of it. 
- Do not want any other gifts.
