Is it to much to ask to have a drama-free Mother's Day?
Because I know it won't be. Yes, I am referring, once again, to my mother-in-law. The one who, no doubt, will throw a shit fit and a guilt trip once she figures out that my husband will not be spending "her" beloved holiday with her and instead spending it with me (and possibly adding some flowers in there too) :)
She is of the mind that every holiday should still include us visiting her house and spending hours upon hours there talking and visiting, etc. Which was nice...when we didn't have a baby. Now that we are a family of three, we would like to start spending our holidays together and beginning our own traditions.
Don't get me wrong - I have a mother too. And I love her very much and intend to give her a call on Mother's Day and wish her the best and talk and catch up like we always do. But she understands that when my husband and I got married, he (and then later my daughter) became my immediate family. My mother-in-law on the other hand, still believes her only child should still dote on and take care of her like he's still living at home.
Well, I'm sorry to tell you, you manipulative pain in the ass, but you're taking a back seat now. In the words of fellow BBC Dealing With the In-Laws members:
"The woman who blows you, trumps the one who birthed you"
