Not going to see MIL on Mother's Day?

[Doingakatereddy]

Apologies for getting in on the whole Mother's Day angst.

First off, I don't like my MIL. It's not an all consuming dislike but I'm tired of trying, sick of waiting on her hand and foot & try to just keep the peace. But...

DH wants me to go to hers on mother day with our two DC for a few hours, so we can give her flowers etc

I'd rather not go. She's not my mother (mine is AWOL), she does next to nothing to help me & I'm with the kids full time so actually few hours to myself not cleaning, ironing etc would be bliss. AIBU?

I'm surprised at all the children going to visit granny rather than spending time with their mum on mother's day. We always stayed with our mum and if the weather was good went out somewhere and fussed over her a bit with dad supervising things. Grannies did their own thing, much like we never visited grandads on father's day although mum phoned her dad.
