[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why you can’t just stay at home and he can take his mom to brunch. Why is that not an option?

Why are you making such a big deal that he might take his mom to do something on Mother’s Day?[/quote]

[b]The OP was very clear that she did not want to host guests on Sunday. She wanted a day to relax with her family and go on a nature walk. She doesn’t want to wait around while her husband takes the MIL and kids to lunch. [/b]

The misogyny is strong in this thread. No matter how simple the request, a mother getting to spend Mother’s Day doing things she likes is unacceptable. [/quote]  I disagree she did not make all that clear. The only thing she said is that SHE did not want to do anything. She didn't tell her husband about a nature walk or that her husband and the kids should also do nothing.  I do get the point about hosting guests, but I also don't consider my MIL a guest; she's family. I get that it's not the same for everyone.[/quote]
