[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 530001, member: 14557"] Thanks for the ideas (I could still take few tips for perfect murder, just in case :cool:) I made it perfectly clear to husband that [B]I[/B] wasn't going anywhere without difficult child at mother's day. And [B]his[/B] mother, [B]his[/B] job to make her understand that. I'm sure mother in law will 'see a reason' because how 'embarrassing' would that be and what would people say, if I and sons were missing?!? :rolleye: These brunches are not bad at all per se. Yeah, they are much about mother in law (but everything always is with her), but husband's siblings and their families are mostly a cool bunch. And it doesn't take whole day. Our tradition has been that sons bake a cake for me at day before, mother's day morning bring me a breakfast to bed and after that we have some silly old things we do. After that is the brunch and now that sons are older, even getting them dressed is not a battle any more like it used to be. I only get "Moooom, can I put jeans?" "Nope" "At least I'm not having a tie!" "Okay honey, you can go without this time but make sure your shoes are polished." (It's not like they would need to wear a tie, it is informal family gathering early in the day and we are living in the country with very lax dress codes, I just don't tell them that.) And in the afternoon after brunch we still have nicely time to do things as a family. Usually husband comes up with afternoon and evening activity. So I can't complain about our mother's day traditions. But if mother in law doesn't want my son there, she can be very sure, that neither am I going (and I can't see easy child wanting to go if that is the situation.) husband would maybe just stop by and be very uncomfortable because he very well knows how angry I will be if difficult child gets excluded. And that while I may take a lot of bull from others if I feel it is advisable, you sure don't want to hurt my babies. [/QUOTE]
