I worked the past two nights and my son worked this weekend also so we boiled crawfish last weekend and had my daughter, son and DiL over. Brought my wife home flowers this morning and my nephew took my sister and my mom out to lunch today. As far as I know everyone is happy

Divorce the MIL if she's that selfish

Ill share this.... Brought my Grandmother (who raised me) who is 86 years old, a stuffed animal, it was a Fox. You would had thought I had handed her a million dollars.
She acted the same with the stuffed Labrador I gave her for Christmas, which sits at her side on the bed ( she's bed ridden)
Her and my grandfather used to raise beagles back in the day.
Old school little things....to a certain generation sometimes mean more than you would know.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers who happen to frequent this board.
Also hug them and don't take them granted.... Mothers, grandmothers , who ever raised you. One day you won't be able to.

Thank you!
Whoever said the demanding one gets only what they demand and nothing extra nailed it.
I get all the extra

It's this. Same deal during the holidays

Wife's family is here celebrating MIL. Each one has to raise their voice over one another so they are the one heard while speaking... In a few hours, I will go into the kitchen and clean up all their full sodas, beverages & plates they leave around any surface they can find.

Most actual mother's days aren't about pampering..its about tolerating.
I actually got lucky in the MIL dept...luckier than my wife did. But her mom an old country lady who has dined at maybe a half dozen resturants in her life always wants the whole family to go out to eat on mother's day, and always some shitty chain resturant...
Its 2 or so hours of explaining the menu...sending the waitress away cause they haven't decided then when everyone is at their wits end and antsy as hell...lets see a dessert menu...add to this we have a 3 year old who was saying he wanted to go home half way in.

The problem isn't the MIL, it's the wife that can't draw boundaries.

Once grandkids enter the picture, the mothers actively mothering day to day takes precedence on Mother's Day. MIL had her years, time to pass the baton and celebrate another day.
I have two girls and if they bless me with grandkids, I'm going to step back and let them shine on their day.

Had lunch at my stepdaughter's house with her mom - my wife - along with her dad and his wife, and several shared adult grandkids.
Worked out pretty well from what I can tell.
Would have to presume this is the exception, not the rule.

Fortunately, my MIL lives out of town. So there is little controversy on that end. As to my mom, I set parameters pretty early on after having kids. My kids (her grandchildren) spend the day with their mom (my wife), doing what my wife wants to do. I go visit my mom for lunch. If my wife and kids want to come along, great! If not, no problem. I let my wife decide what she wants to do. Luckily, my wife is not high maintenance on the specialized holidays front (Mother's Day and Valentines Day). She doesn't want a big fuss, and actually means it. This year my kids got her gifts and put the laundry away. She was happy

Who cares? FFS, just let the old lady live a little.
Let your stupid ho wait her turn instead of watching her cry about how she misses her mom.
The holiday shouldn't really matter to the youth. Just do breakfast w your kids and skank, then go about your day.
Geez
