re: Mother’s Day- when mom and wife are miserable and pouty

My wife and mother don’t get a long. They had a falling out a few years back and don’t speak. Both were wrong in some aspects, but pride has consumed both and neither will work out their differences. Imagine two women who both want to “win” the conflict.
I dread this day annually. I am always caught in the middle.
Today, I traveled to visit my mom. Left my daughter with her mom so that they could sleep in and spend the morning together. Didn’t think it would be right to leave with her and for wife to wake up without any children on mother’s day.
When I arrived at my moms, her fist question was where my daughter was. I explained that she was at home with her mom. In her true Marie Barrone passive aggressive style, my mom just kinda looked at me like I let her down and gave me a big “ohhhhh, ok” pity party.
I responded “but I am here!”. She just moped and walked away.
fricking hate mother’s day.
UPDATE: I am moving houses tomorrow, but still wanted to make time to visit my mom before loading a UHaul. 25 minutes after I arrived my mom informed me that I could leave if I needed to, which is her passive aggressive way of saying she could give two fricks about me being there since I didn’t bring my daughter.
I am out of there. Please note an effort was made.

What does your husband and/or his brother say/do?
He doesn't have a brother...at least not from his mom.
He has a half brother much older than him. His dad is older than my MIL and was married briefly with a child before he met my MIL and married her. And we never see him either. I've been with him for almost 12 years and think I've seen him a handful of times during that 12 years.
My husband doesn't like leaving the house now on his time off because of our dog dying. He wants to spend as much time as he can with his dog. I think my MIL offered to let us bring the dog over with us today if we wanted. But told my husband she would understand if he wanted to just stay home today. Which is very rare for her. I've offered to stay home with the dog today and he just go over there. Cause I don't know if our dog can handle the long drive (40 minutes each way) to his parents house. Also...don't know how accommodating his parents will be with the dog once we get over there. I'm afraid if he doesn't go at all...there will be backlash over this later on.

I'm using "dog is dying" from now on in my quest to be eternally anti-social
We're all on our path to dying, right?

Mother’s Day is an excuse for them to be a total bitch and you have to take it without complaint because it’s their day.

Yep, although I know that is easy to say when I'm not in the situation. The unfortunate thing is that most of these mothers conditioned their sons to take it, so that's why you don't see many of them standing up to them.
I'd never be able to put up with it. I'd have no qualms about cutting out a parent if they acted that way, and I have a great relationship with my parents. I just don't view family bond as some unconditional thing. Toxic behavior would be an immediate cut off.

Some pessimistic guys here. My mother doesn’t warrant anything from me besides a “happy Mother’s day” text. Me and my wife don’t have children yet.
Today is my day

My sister didn’t speak to my parents for 15 years shortly after high school bc my mom didn’t “approve” of my sisters then boyfriend. My sister later married that guy, who by all accounts has always been a great guy.
As much as I would like to cut my mom off for the way she acts, I didn’t agree with how my sister handled the conflict for many years so I would be a hypocrite if I did.
My life is a shite show, enjoy OT. Enjoy.

read /r/JustNoMIL, but it is CRAZY the stories there.
I remember a few years ago a guy made a thread here about a problem with his MIL. The MIL was visiting at this poster's house and when it got to be bedtime for the kids he told them it was time for bed. Well the MIL then immediately told the the kids that they didn't have to go to bed and could stay up. I think the poster/father just took it because he didn't want to upset the MIL and thus his wife. But obviously he was upset about the situation and came here for answers.
Anyway, that shite is insane and MILs are insane.

Been there
My Mother and I used to argue all the time, and when she cheated on my Father, causing the divorce, i hated her, and tried to make her pay for shitting all over us. But as it works in real life, the good people never win, everything smelled like roses for her, i continued to try and get back, mind screwing myself for decades. Finally listened to my Father who said to move on, your wasting hate for something that is 20 years old. I moved on, now me and my Mom have a good relationship, but it's always walking on egg shells with her, all of us wondering who is going to piss her off, by doing nothing wrong.

We have a toddler. This last week I’ve asked her a few times “what would you like to do on MD?” Her response “I don’t know.”
Last night I asked her what she would like me to make her for breakfast, so I could run to grocery last night if needed. Her response “don’t do that.”
We get up this morning, I ask what she wants to do for breakfast. Her response: “It’s MD, your supposed to tell me.”
WTF

I went to Publix at 7:15 this morning to pick up some food for tonight and some flowers. There were probably 30 dudes in there over the age of 60 buying flowers. I could see my future

Well to be fair, I'd of asked her "is there anything in particular you want for MD?" if she said something like "I don't know" then its on you to figure something out. Don't keep asking her what you should do, thats something you're suppose to figure out.
Now, if when you do figure something out and THEN she acts disappointed then you have a right to be pissed.

Well I could have told you that dumb dumb.
My wife is passively aggressive for some reason. Not sure why. I got her a gift, card, made breakfast. Got the kids ready for church. Have cleaned. But I can still feel it stewing from her.
It’s just aggravating because no matter what I did it would feel the same. It’s like she has these expectations that no matter what is done won’t be met. So frick it.
Not gonna lie though pretty happy to see others deal with this same shite.
