Mother's, how do you celebrate Mother's day?

With DH? With DH family? With your family? All of the above?

 

The reason I ask is because every year we spend it with DH's family. I'd like to start a new tradition, but I'm afraid to approach the situation.

Re: Mother's, how do you celebrate Mother's day?

  • We spend it with my mom.  DH doesn't have his mom anymore...

    I think you could at least split it up like peeps do on other holidays?  I would always want to spend time with my mama on her day :)  I already see her everyday too! 

  • For Mother's day, DH let's me decide. We usually go out to breakfast and then spend the day at the park or even relaxing at home. I just really enjoy having a nice day to enjoy my family.

    I don't think it's unreasonable to want to start a new tradition. Casually bring the subject to DH, maybe he would agree.

  • We don't do anything. I am not really into it. Funny when I have 4 kids huh? My wedding is really close to mothers day, and my MIL's birthday is always a day or two around it so we don't do anything...  Which is fine by me..

  • It depends on the year.  We live in Tucson though, and our moms live in Phoenix, so we don't always actually spend Mother's Day with them on the actual day.  And now that I am actually a mom, I think celebrating will be a little less emphasis on our moms.  I think some years we may try to celebrate with them in Phoenix.  Other years we may just do our own thing at home.

    Last year was my first Mother's Day, and Isabella was like a month old.  My mom and stepdad came down the night before and spent the night and babysat Isabella so we could go out to dinner.  The next morning, my stepdad and husband made us breakfast before they went back home.

    I do not think you should be afraid to bring this up.  Maybe ask if you can alternate years between moms, and that it is a big deal to see your mom too.  Or see about doing brunch with one mom and dinner with the other?

  • Thanks for the feedback ladies. I talked to DH and he said we should do our own thing this year, but we'll see.
