Does anyone else hate Mother's Day?
I find it so stressful. I know some people sadly don't have their mother's here to celebrate with. I understand they would give anything.
I just find it so hard trying to please everyone.
I am a mother so the day is also supposed to be about me, but I find I am torn between pleasing my own mother and my Mother In Law.
Trying to make sure we fit both of them in to our day, then one gets offended because we are doing more with the other or something better with the other etc.
The kids are all excited in the morning, wake me up with presents but then all hell breaks loose when Dad asks them to help make me breakfast in bed etc. It turns out to be just another day of me pleasing everyone else.

Time to stay in bed for the day! If family wants to see you they can come visit you in bed :)
It's your husbands job to keep his mum happy you just do yours.
I know exactly how u feel. Hopefully this year is better for u.
Easy! Get flowers delivered to both mums with a card and box of chocolates, give them a phone call at some point during the day and other than that, spend the day being pampered by your own children and hubby!
If you want to meet up with both mums at some point I'd suggest doing it the day before or after mothers day and everyone can go have a lovely dinner together somewhere. That way no one can complain one got more than the other :)
Great idea :) I think the OP could use a day off
