[QUOTE="witzend, post: 425178, member: 99"] I have no plans. I did tell husband that if anyone asked, I'd like a bathrobe. He and I have a deal - he's not my dad so I don't buy him father's day gifts, I'm not his mom, so visa versa. I haven't heard from the kids. I imagine that M will spend it with my mother and my sisters. I imagine that L will spend it either with them as well, or with her step-mother's family. Usually by Wednesday of M Day week I get a phone call from her asking me what my plan for M's Day is and I always tell her I have no plans, I'm not my mother and whoever is doing something for my mom hasn't invited me. I often tell her that I would like to have her spend time with me doing something I like such as garden and she never is usually insulted. Most often it ends up with us going out and husband having to buy his own dinner. Not happening again. Eating out is a chore on M Day, and I don't need the extra calories. But if they'd like to do eating out, they have to pay for my hubby because otherwise he won't eat. If they want to spend time elsewise with me, then they don't have to include him - plain as day. Last year I ended up staining the deck on M Day because husband put his back out scrubbing it, and if we had let it go until he was better it would have needed to be scrubbed again and I wasn't going to do it, too. M showed up when I was nearly finished with my second coat and asked if he could help and I turned him down because it would have looked odd - different people apply stain differently. husband was passed out on muscle relaxers, and I [I]think[/I] I got a pizza, or maybe I cooked dinner. Not big Mother's Day fans at the Witzend household. [/QUOTE]
