I don't enjoy my Mother-in-law's company at all, but we're very civil, and I do spend holidays at her house. But I'm a mother of four, and my husband expects us to spend the day at his Mom's house- isn't it my day too? Last year there was a huge fight when I tried to stay home instead of going- but I had no problem with him going on his own. My gift would've been not having to go to his Mom's. My Mother has passed on, and I do not want to spend another Mother's Day unhappy.

it's absolutely your day and you have every right to stay home! tell him it's your day too (especially having 4! you really deserve whatever you want!) and you want to spend it at home and that's what you'll be doing but he can do whatever he wants!

We take my mother and my mother in law out to breakfast then the rest of the day is mine to drink.....
My dad and my husbands dad has passed and our moms are in the high 80's and my son moved away so........ i wish that we were all together, but life must go on.... enjoy your alone time... cause if your husband passes 1st when you are older and the kids are doing their own thing (their wives or husbands dont want to see you) ... you will have plenty of alone time! Happy Mothers Day

see if you can go to her house the day before and spend mothers day at your house. if you think you can stand it have her come to your house for brunch and then send her home, at your house you are the one in control so it might not be as bad. i don't get along with my mother-in-law either so i can understand how you feel. i my self went to mother-in-laws last year because i was still pregnant but i put my foot down and said this is my year, she can have the next one. it was a trade off.

What i individually think of you ought to do is circulate, and not care approximately its being mom's day. You and your immmediate relatives ought to do your mom's day on Saturday. yet once you quite will not be able to stand that, then the two communicate him into your spending merely portion of the day there, or get him to agree previous to time that your mom's Day present could be to spend a effective, quiet day on my own. Have him take the babies with him. they could do your mom's Day difficulty earlier leaving, or after coming living house. yet do not drop it on him on the final minute.

If you go, your husband gets to spend the day with both of the important women in his life. Compromise is part of every marriage.
Why make this such an issue? One day your MIL won't be there anymore and you will be sorry you missed opportunities to spend time with her too.

My husband takes his mother to brunch on mother's day and I don't go. I take my mother to lunch the day after mother's day.
