Mother’s Day expectations

Mother’s Day expectations!
i have asked my husband what we should do on Mother’s Day, given we both have mums and I’m a mum too! He said he is taking his mum out for the day. I thought we could spend the day together, all of us… and feel hurt that he hasn’t considered me in that. He has said I’m acting narcissistic and only thinking about myself! Suggesting I should tell our children what to do if I want them to take me out (2 are adults and 1 teen). Am I being unreasonable to be upset that he wants to take his mum out alone? And I’m left to sort my own Mother’s Day out?

@TheSillyRaven

It's Mother's day today, and I am sure some of us are wondering if this was resolved, and what have your adult children done / arranged ?

Maybe I'm a bit old school but honestly not sure why you want to do something with your husband on Mothers Day, you can do that anytime surely?
My DS is 18, away at Uni, I know dh reminded him last week about MD and I did get a card in the post which was lovely.
My MIL lives abroad and my mum is no longer with us , I really don't expect dh to make a fuss of me , in fact going out on MD is usually a nightmare as everywhere is so busy with people taking their mums out for lunch one day a year 🙂.
