Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
Usually we do breakfast/early afternoon with my MIL and then the late afternoon/evening with my mom. Last year DH's mom went to NJ with the rest of the family to spend the day with extended family, so we didn't get to see her, but usually we split the day evenly because they live close.

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
Every year it varies. Sometimes we totally separate, other times I go with MIL in afternoon and my momma in the evening.
Honey, considering you just had a miscarriage, do whatever you want. Your DH should understand and if he doesn't make him get it.

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
This is my first Mother's Day finally after many years of trying and numerous IF treatments I have my son. Im not sure what I want to do so I told my husband I would like to stay at home in the morning, and have him make me breakfast and just relax. He was going to go to his mother's house in the morning but I suggested in the afternoon we go see his grandmother and meet up with his mom then. I have a feeling that may start a problem since she already said Im not going to see you for breakfast but whatever. I like the idea of seeing one on Saturday and the other Sunday but I don't think that would go over well with his mom.
We will see my mom for dinner and dessert.

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
I wold love to just have everyone here but its too complicated with my 2 SILs and their MILs and my sister and her MIL etc.... and not everyone is very local.
We usually go to Bklyn to my MIL on saturday and see my mom on sunday, either here or at her house. And i feel like even though I am a mom, i spend the whole weekend running around.

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
We used to go to my MIL's house around noon and then to my mom's house around 3. My mom passed away so now we just do MIL's home.

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
I don't have a mom and my father's wife lives OOS. So for the past 7 yrs, we have spent the day w/my MIL. This year we are doing the same but, it will be the last year. I explained to DH that since next year and on I will be a mom, I want to spend the day w/DH & our DC. We can do something w/his mother the day before.

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
My only plan on mother's day is to not cook or do anything. We will probably go out to dinner and we usually invite both by mother and my MIL. Usually my MIL will never come because she has to go to my SIL's house andmy mother will only come if she approves of the place we're going to. So basically we make the plans with them and leave it in their court to celebrate with our family or not!

Re: How do you split up Mothers Day with your mother and MIL?
My MIL lives in N.J. so pre kids I would spend the day with my Mom and DH with his Mom. Now that we have kids we usually go to NJ on Saturday and Sunday see my Mom.

We just have both sides over to our house.
Ditto.
It's easiest that way.
Well- not easy for me.... but....
This is what we're doing. If they don't all come to our house, we all meet at a restaurant. The ILs all get along, so for us, it works out nicely.
Same here.

Our parents all get along, but it gets complicated having everyone together, as my sister also has a MIL, as does my SIL. It gets crazy if we try to have everyone over, and this year, since I'm toward the end of my pregnancy, I'm not up for it. So we're doing what we do almost every year. Running to Staten Island for brunch at my sister's with my family, then coming back for dinner here on LI with DH's family. Some years, we see one family on Saturday, and one on Sunday. Next year, I will finally be a mommy, and I don't think I'm going to want to do all of this running around, so I might try to have everyone over...but that still won't be relaxing!
This is partly my issue. My brothe has a monster in law that i can't deal with . Dh's mother lives in the city and my parents are close by to me. This always makes mother's day very complex. One time my brother hosted at his house and we actually brought my mil there!Too much running around!!!
Its just insanity so i've decided to stop the insanity. We hardly ever see mil so every year we just either go see her or lie and say we're going to see her and let my brother do whatever he likes with my mom. I see my mom practically 4 times a week so i'm not upset i don't hang with her on mother's day. my brother lives farther away and sees them maybe once a month. I refuse to go out to eat on mother's day because of the craziness at the restaurants.
