What are you guys doing for mother's Day?

I'm just gonna preface this by saying I like my MIL but only in small doses. So basically my FIL invited up over to their place and asked that my husband and him grill for us. I understand that this day is about all mother's but I really don't feel like spending my mother's day stuck talking to my mil. If my husband is grilling than I have no buffer and that means I'm taking care of our daughter the whole time. My husband turns into a kid at his parents place and basically after eating just naps on the couch leaving me to handle my 16 month old and his mom by myself. Not to mention he has never really cared about "celebrating his mom" he really just wants to grill with his dad. Which I get, they don't spend much time together but this day is supposed to celebrate me too. Not to mention I'm pregnant and am struggling to eat meat..... So am I selfish for wanting to say no to going over there?

Not to mention we are over at their place 2-4 times a month anyway. And his mil doesn't even seem excited about us going over because she knows she will be stuck cleaning up their mess after cooking. I did say maybe we just get pizza or subs or tacos to go because then we for sure don't have to clean and then my husband doesn't get to hide by the grill the whole time. He is just acting like I'm being ridiculous and I don't get it.

I’m seeing my in laws the day before Mother’s Day and I have yet to figure out when I’ll c my own mom prior to Mother’s Day . My FIL asked what our Mother’s Day plans were and we reminded him like every yr we r going to the zoo and that’s y they chose a cookout the day prior so we could be there but I kinda hate that it’s not the weekend prior bc they went ahead and planned a Mother’s Day cookout on my husbands bday without asking him if he had plans for his own bday .

nope he likes to be around his side of the family often just like yours 2+ times a month and he’d rather just agree to what works for other ppls schedules . I am considering asking him out for ice cream before or after the get together so we have our own time to celebrate him too

Do you offer food before bed for your 1year old?

He has 3meals a day plus snacks and 3 bottles of cows milk.
He has a bottle of milk as hes going to sleep but since starting him on cows milk hes waking up at 5am, like hes starving, so notsure if I need to offer some food before bed aswell

Am I wrong

I was feeding our 3 week old baby and asked my partner to take the pizza out the oven, he was just sitting on the couch. He refused to and said I should, I eventually did go get it out otherwise it would have burnt. Now I’m pissed off with him. He says I did nothing all day so I should have just done it. His idea of nothing is looking after a 3 week old and 2 year old all day.

So my son is at pre school which is free Monday to Friday 9-3 term time only

I work 3 days a week. My son goes for 3 days a week and he absolutely loves it. Would I be a bad mum for putting him in 4/5 days so I could clean the house and work another day for more money? He starts school in a year so also thinking do I carry on spending 2 days in the week with him while I can before school?!
