We live in Sweden and celebrate Swedish Mother's Day with her (on May 31st this year) and we celebrate American Mother's Day together as a family :happy: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2155119 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:23:20 +0000 coopsmama 2155119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I don't think we've ever spent Mother's Day with MIL though except for a few years back when we were on vacation with her. Usually we have lunch with my mom and extended family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2155098 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:09:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 2155098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we usually go to brunch with my mom and MIL and I totally share the day with them. It's still the day they are honored too - and it makes it much easier to do that all together! (Plus it's fun) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2155079 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:02:42 +0000 Ra 2155079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Same! I take B and go to my mom's and DH does whatever with his mom. I don't need my own day. One day my mom won't be around and I'm going to cherish these memories together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2155025 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:27:23 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2155025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just do gift giving usually. If we're with my side of the family well all do brunch or whatever and if my grandmas there there'll usually a bigger get together. I have had bad luck with mothers day since becoming a mom, so I don't mind sharing and focusing on our moms! Plus, I love my mom and enjoy making it special for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154957 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:01:58 +0000 Tanjowen 2154957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that all of us siblings are married, we are trying to get the family to do a late afternoon get together for dessert and to celebrate my mom, but leaving the day open for personal celebration. My mom isn't very happy about the transition, and pouts, which drives me crazy. We are sticking to our guns and I like celebrating with my little family alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154947 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:59:16 +0000 jetsa 2154947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get together with both moms separately. It's their day too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154936 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:56:49 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2154936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually get together with my family and do brunch some where low key. Maybe go swim in my sister's pool if the weather is good. My ILs live far away, so never do these type of holidays with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154904 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:41:37 +0000 Charm54 2154904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my mom, aunt, and I all share a mother's days supper. This will be our first Mother's Day without my grandmother who is always there foo :(. We officially open our family's cottage for the summer on Mother's Day and our DHs BBQ and cook lobster. It's a lovely weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154899 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:36:46 +0000 Boogs 2154899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All us moms get together and go out for lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154667 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:02:13 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2154667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and MIL both live an hour away and we invited them out for brunch.

It's just as much their day as it is mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154649 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:46:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2154649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the years since I have been a mom, we've always spent mother's day with my mom and doing whatever she wants to do. She's got major seniority on me. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154622 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:22:47 +0000 lawbee11 2154622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually see my mom. My MIL lives out of state so we'll probably Skype with her. This year my mom's going to be out of town, though, so we'll spend it together just the 3 of us (which I'm actually looking forward to!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154558 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:52:08 +0000 catlady 2154558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-LO, we would do brunch with MIL and SIL and her family. Last year we actually spent it with my dad for my first Mother's Day (my mom passed away a few years ago). This thread has reminded me that we need a plan for this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154516 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:27:39 +0000 jhd 2154516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this today. Last year LO was in the NICU. I would like to just spend the day with DH and LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154511 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:25:04 +0000 mediagirl 2154511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is about 2.5 hours away. I'm still trying to decide what we'll do. I like being the mom now that gets spoiled on her day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154506 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:19:09 +0000 bunnylove08 2154506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom passed away a while ago, so we spend it with MIL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154422 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:36:17 +0000 twodoghouse 2154422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom lives far away, so we just send a gift. We usually do brunch with the ILs. Last year was my first as a mom and my kids were only 8 days old, so we had everyone over for lunch. I assume this year we will be back to brunch with MIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154392 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:19:45 +0000 deerylou 2154392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last Mother's Day was my first, as a mom. We spent the Saturday evening before with MIL/SILs (who are also mothers), and had a family BBQ. The next morning, we had a nice brunch with my family.</p> <p>Not sure about this year, as we've moved. Splitting the weekend up between the moms would require a lot of back-and-forth driving. Our families like each other, but we don't usually have shared holiday functions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154365 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:08:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 2154365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom and Grandmother. My ILs don't do holidays. But I don't mind sharing with my Mom/Grandmother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154364 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:07:50 +0000 Keybee 2154364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a family family and our extended family is also small at this time and everyone lives within 15 minutes. Last year we invited both our families to our home for dinner. The year before we had Saturday dinner with the in laws and Sunday brunch with my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154362 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:07:00 +0000 avivoca 2154362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent ours as a family unit. I plan on doing the same this year (minus church, since we attend with my parents). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154359 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:06:20 +0000 MrsTiz 2154359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. On Mother's day we have to go see my mom, MIL and both grandmas. It really sucks the fun out of the day. May be selfish to say, but I want to enjoy my first few Mother's days, not have to spend the whole day going back and forth between family members. Growing up it wasn't bad because it was just my mom and then we'd go to grandmas. Add DH's family to that and the whole day becomes about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154354 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:03:33 +0000 Smurfette 2154354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get together with my whole family.

We should probably work on that, but it is so hard to get fired up for a holiday like that! We'll do something with MIL if she is in town but otherwise just a phone call is all we do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154337 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 13:58:33 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2154337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>last mother's day i was in the hospital on strict bed rest after my water broke and was waiting for A to arrive so it was pretty awful. because of that i'm kind of hoping to just spend the day with dh and A and maybe see MIL another day.. she kinda takes over and is really intense so i could do with some time away from her (since we see her multiple times a week..). sounds awful, but feeling like i have the right to be a tad selfish this year.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154329 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 13:56:40 +0000 Adira 2154329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually get together with my mom at some point (and my brother joins us) to celebrate both my mom and me, though it's not always on Mother's Day. We don't do anything for MIL... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-mothers-day-with-your-mommil#post-2154328 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 13:56:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2154328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing brunch with my mom.. I never even though about not including her, esp she is such a great grandma and takes care of DD the most! </p> <p>I have no idea what's going on with MIL... Usually SIL initiates group chats that deal with celebrations on their side. </p>
