AITA for not wanting to go to my MILs Mother’s Day dinner

My husband asked what I wanted to do for mothers day and I said nothing I want to sit in bed all day watch Netflix and I want him to just pick up sushi I don’t want to do anything I want one day to myself to do literally nothing. His parents asked if he had the day off he said no but he’s gonna call out sick. I don’t know if they asked if we had plans or what he’s saying he doesn’t remember but they decided to do Mother’s Day dinner at their house at 5:30. I was just with my sister in laws and I told them I don’t know if I’m gonna go I didn’t want to do anything for Mother’s Day and my sister in law (she doesn’t have kids) said that’s rude you’re not gonna celebrate my mom for Mother’s Day I said it’s my Mother’s Day as well and I had plans to be in bed and do nothing?? Keep in mind I’m at their house every other day I see them ALL the time god forbid I don’t want to go hang out with them on Mother’s Day from 5pm till my son’s bedtime. Now if I don’t go and my husband and son don’t go then I’m the asshole for keeping him away from his mom for Mother’s Day. But then if I tell him to go with my son then I’m gonna have to go pickup and eat my food alone. My husband does not see the big deal and he thinks this whole thing is funny which makes me equally pissed at him.

Also they are making pasta and I can’t even eat gluten so like why would I want to go and suffer all night bloated 😭😂😂 originally the plan was to grill steak but my sil is pregnant and says beef makes her sick so they are making pasta now

If it was me, I’d get him to go get sushi and bring it home before he goes to his moms. Get him to take the kids to his moms, sit and rot in bed for a couple hours alone lol

“ you asked me what I wanted to do and you are now upset that I don’t want to do this other plan. That seems really unfair to me. I am unable to eat the food they are serving, and I already communicated what I wanted to do this day. You need to inform your family that this plan does not work for us and we will see them another day. And if there’s any disappointment communication from them, you need to shut it down.”

I can't eat gluten either, I'd be so irritated! Can your husband go spend time with his mom earlier in the day, then come home with sushi? Or I would just want him to go without me. THEN next time you see MIL give her a nice sentimental gift and tell her sorry you missed her on the actual day.

Don’t go! Eat your sushi and binge watch tv, forget them!

What’s the update, did you end up going
