First Mother’s Day

Any Mother’s Day we pop down the in laws on the Saturday and do gifts. Then the Sunday is for us at home or whatever we want to do

To me, the person who is celebrating being a mom for the first time should be the focus. So if in laws are involved they would need to have that same mindset.

I had postpartum depression really bad & was so excited for my first Mother’s Day as it was going to be a day to get dinner out & relax but turns out that same day landed on my grandmother in law’s birthday & we celebrated her that day. Ugh it made me upset.

I spent mine with my baby and my mum. My OH brought me a present etc in the morning then he went to see his mum on his own which is what I wanted for him. Everyone should spend it with their own mum while they can if they want to

Depends on the activity

same but for my birthday :( I was so excited for my 25th birthday a few years ago (quarter century right?) but it landed on Father’s Day. When my husband let his family know we won’t be attending the get together, they made us feel sooo bad that we went over. (Mind you it’s a 4-hour drive to their house). No one acknowledged my birthday either. And there was a cake only for the dad. I still get sad about it until this day. 😞

oh I’m so sorry, that really sucks ❤️‍🩹

oh no!!! It’s the worst when they make you feel bad for saying no, especially when you probably spent most of the day travelling and didn’t get to celebrate your birthday too!☹️❤️

I love my MIL so I wouldn’t mind but what we did last year was I went to my mum in the morning till the afternoon and he did the same with his mum then we met up later on and had the rest of the afternoon/evening together just us. I hadn’t actually had my LG last year but he still celebrated me and it was his birthday as well so it was a very hectic day😂we’ll do the same this year and it will be my first Mother’s Day

My husband is going to be away on a training course (military) for my first Mother’s Day, so I’m going to try to spend it with my mum. Not what I had originally planned.

We’re spending it with my parents, purely by accident. I would have preferred it to be just the 3 of us.

I wouldn’t have minded my MIL being included, but we lived 2 hours away from my in-laws when I celebrated my first Mother’s Day.
