So, my boyfriend and I are planning to go out of town for his sisters prom on Saturday and Mother’s Day is on Sunday. When I mentioned that Mother’s Day is on Sunday he sis fit was great because then he could take us all out for a special day. I’m trying not to be unappreciative but I was really wanting to do something personal just me him and our daughter for my first Mother’s Day celebration:/ and he’s having a hard time seeing where I’m coming from.
Its nit only because it’s not really my family, I wouldn’t want a group celebration with my mom and sisters either. It’s simply that I wanted it to be special for my first Mother’s Day and again, something more personal.
Might end up doing something by myself and my daughter. I’m just kind of feeling lost with how to feel. I’m trying to be ok with just doing something with everyone but it’s not what I would ever choose for myself.

being selfish on your FIRST mothers day is not a problem at all.. i definitely didnt want my first mothers day celebration to be with a bunch of people.
while you may not get a full day away, at least compromise on breakfast alone and you all can go out for dinner or something to spend time with his family.

You can always celebrate Mother’s Day on another day as well! There will be less people if you go out on another day. It’s my first too and my husband works all day (huge day for the restaurant industry) so we are going out the week after 😄 be “selfish” though, you just did something so amazing and should be appreciated for it
