Mothers day celebrations
I don't know if I'm just being selfish and stingy?
I have a mum, MIL and 3 aunties. My uncle's bda was 2 days ago and his kids have all moved out of the state and basically none of them come back for mothers day. So when it comes to mothers day, my siblings and I treat our parents to dinner but then my sister always invites my auntie and uncle as it was his bda and it's mothers day but we also have to treat them as well. Then my hubby and I have to treat his mum as well.
I'm currently pregnant with 2nd and feel like $ is tight as we have 3.5k management fee to pay for ob appt.
What would you all do in these situations?
I don't ever feel like I enjoy mothers day bcos we always have to treat someone else's parents as well. It's like I'm a mother too, but I need to spend so much more that I don't want to spend anything on myself.
Let's face it, not many of us feel amazing when we are pregnant to begin with (lucky you if you do) I feel like all the hormones are just SUPER annoying all the stress of everything (including extra costs) just makes us not as 'easy' to get along with as usual. My own experience. Like I was just tired and cranky just thinking about going to social events. That's a lot of pressure and responsibility being put on you to 'treat' for people that aren't your parents 😅 If it's kind of what you do every year... bit hard to get out of it. If you don't have people pleasing tendancies you could say you arent feeling well enough to go, bout of nausea or something lol it doesn't sound like you want to go anyway.
