What do you TRULY want for MD?

ccip82

Since I am moving soon, all I want right now is to spend time with my mom, sisters, and DD.  I am not sure if DH is even doing anything because he will be on an oil rig in the middle of an ocean...

What I want is to not celebrate mother's day. I've told DH and assured him that I'm not playing games. What I'm getting is a visit from my FIL & monster in law.

Awww! That really sucks. It's your day now too. I'd tell DH the only thing you want is to spend the day alone with your little family .

I'm kinda in the same boat here. Like I said in my PP...I'm not such a big fan of MD/FD. I don't want a big fuss over it. HOWEVER, I'm going to be super pissed if MIL makes everyone fall all over her like usual on my first MD. I also call her "monster in law". Secretly I wonder why we have to celebrate the woman since she's been a horrible mother to DH and does nothing for anyone throughout the year. But I always nicely keep my mouth shut. So I guess what I TRULY want for MD is to not spend it with the woman I dread seeing anyday of the year.

I'd kind of like a necklace.  I'm not normally into jewelry, but I'd like a necklace with LO's birthstone and name or something.    But since my husband knows I don't generally care about jewelry, I probably won't get one unless I get it myself.

Magic faries to unpack my house-we moved back to the east coast Sunday and have 20,000 boxes to unpack with two kiddos.

I think we will spend the day gardening a bit and getting planters together. Last Mother's day I was in the hospital bleeding a lot with DD on MD, so this will be my first one with the family. I dont really need anything from dh/the kids-our new place. Is much smaller than our previous house!

I would love to make a "no monster allowed" rule, but they are driving over 5hrs to see the baby.  Supposedly this was the only weekend that would work.  I am definitely planning on making a nice long trip to the dog park.  Alone. Honestly, I guess DH & I should be grateful she's coming down from her pedestal to visit us in lowly Iowa.

 

Sorry to hear you are in the same boat!  I am not a fan of MD/FD either.  If I have to spend the whole day fawning over someone I dislike, I'm going to be pissed as well.  It sounds like your monster in law is very similar to mine... hope she doesn't ruin your weekend!

I want the calendar necklace from dalla nonna jewelry.  It's a whoping $750 or something for the rose gold which I know I'll never get, but it's only $150 for the silver.  I told DH the other day it would be a nice bday present (which is in July), but I really am hoping he gets it for me for mother's day.

Thanks .

Enjoy your quiet time at the dog park!

BTW---I don't get why people complain about Iowa. It's one of my favorite states. lol

What I want is a nap. DH told me he'd do his best but I just realized we're having houseguests this weekend and now I want to die.

1.  I've already told DH, but more than anything, I don't want Mother's Day and my birthday (Monday) to be clumped together into one.  It's not about money or gifts, it's just that I see Mother's day as more of a family celebration and my birthday is more about "me time"

My birthday is Friday - I totally get this! 

Also, when I realized I had to share MD with MIL it became a lot less exciting. I tried to suggest something fun for all the moms to do together (me, my mom, my grandma, and her) but NO it must be DH/DS/me at her house. Fun times...
