It has always been easy as English Mother's Day, which is where our mums live, is before Easter. I had my kids in Canada where Mother's Day is much later so we made the first day about our mums and the second about me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542953 Fri, 06 May 2016 09:29:14 +0000 wrkbrk 2542953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 mom house so it's planned by us and for us :) This is our first one and we are actually out of town seeing family, so we celebrated last weekend with drinks and dinner out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542883 Fri, 06 May 2016 08:27:12 +0000 yin 2542883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mother's Day is typically to celebrate my MIL. For the first few years, DH kind of forgot that it's also a day to celebrate me. Oops! Usually we hang out with my in-law's. DH has full control over the morning activities, and he usually lets me sleep in and eat breakfast in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542879 Fri, 06 May 2016 08:24:47 +0000 JerricaBenton 2542879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually all go to my parents for dinner so dh plans our morning/early afternoon. He'll ask me beforehand whether I want to go out or sleep in/relax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542675 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:01:46 +0000 jhd 2542675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad and I made a plan this year and told my siblings. Everyone is coming to our house for dinner on Sunday evening. Dad is getting takeout and I'm making dessert. DH's family never makes plans for anything! We will be going out of with the ILs next weekend so we will try to treat MIL to a meal or something. And I told DH I want him to take me and LO out for dinner tomorrow. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542623 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:31:34 +0000 delight 2542623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have planned it the last few years. We go out for lunch with my mom and DH's mom and his sister and her in laws. There's usually 12-15 of us. The moms are also all going to Kinky Boots in Toronto next weekend and we made the boys buy us our tickets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542615 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:26:21 +0000 youboots 2542615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. Since it's always my birthday weekend and my Mom &amp; MIL are flexible. Sometime we plan something then just invite them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542614 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:24:33 +0000 sarac 2542614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, but that's how we do things. My husband really wants to celebrate me and to show his love, but planning things is not his strong suit. So I decide what I want and he makes it happen. It works really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542591 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:08:54 +0000 Boogs 2542591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have a say in it, if not just plan it all with everyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542469 Thu, 05 May 2016 17:09:48 +0000 Bao 2542469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bring up what I want to do and DH takes it from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-plans-mothers-day#post-2542452 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:57:06 +0000 mrbee 2542452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mother's Day is a little tricky, as it's not always clear who who it is for (you and your SO's mom? The mother of your own children?) and who should plan it.</p> <p>Do you plan Mother's Day, or does your SO? Your kids? Nobody? </p>
