My mother lives away this year we're not visiting her - we were with her last year. She is a widow lives alone. She has plans though with friends for mothers day.

My DH wants to go for lunch with his mother & father and 1 of his siblings will be around too with their kids.

I just kind of wanted for me the 2 DCs and DH to do something together.

Lunch with the PILs is always LONG in some mega fancy restaurant my youngest still napping and gets super irritable at food time. As that's nap time. The youngest DC will cry and MIL will tell DH to take my youngest outside.

It's just no fun! I want a chilled out day with my kids and DH. AIBU? DH said he'll look after the youngest...still I just want my own special Mother's Day. But DH will probably be moody if we don't go.

My DC are still small & DD loves the fuss that goes with these days so DH will dutifully take them to buy a small gift & card beforehand then on the day I do zero-this is my one actual day off a year, then we'll either go out with the inlaws or DH will cook.
My DM is in a different country so no longer see her on mothers day-might skype her if I remember...

Same as any other Sunday, but with some cards and maybe chocs to start the day.
I think it's the worst day of the year to go out (well, possibly with Valentines Day) for over crowded restaurants and rushed service in packed restaurants.
