Mothers Day dillema....?

My husband asked me if I wanted to go OUT-OF-TOWN to visit my mother-in-law on Mother's Day. I told him if I had the choice I'd rather stay home & relax. I am a mother of 4 & Sunday is almost my only day off. I hear him call & tell her that we probably wouldn't make it, but maybe we could meet one day during the week 1/2 way for dinner. That sounded great! I thought it was a plan. Tonight he keeps asking me if we're going to his moms tomorrow. I said I thought we had a plan to meet her during the week & he said real snotty "Fine, it seems like you don't want to go tomorrow, so I guess we won't." Now, he's all mad at me. I'm not going to be able to enjoy my mothers day now anyway, atleast not w/o feeling guilty. Am I being selfish?? What would you do.

To top things off, my oldest daughter called me tonight & invited me to her house here in town for a grill out & now I feel like I can't go visit my own daughter on mothers day because I didn't want to spend all day driving to visit HIS mom. Ugh. Why does this have to be so difficult. We have a 7 & 9 year old together & I guess my feelings are hurt that he's deciding how I'm going to spend my mothers day.

    There is always someone who want to rain on your parade..

    so just make your own plans and do them w or w/o him

    no need in you being unhappy on YOUR day..

    He needs to give in to you once in a while...

    as u told ur a mother of 4 so it is very difficult for u to take out time for ur self . i agree that ur getting only one day off that is sunday for ur self . and u don't want to use it for driving almost half of the day . i will suggest u that if u can not reach her why don't u call her on ur place and spand the mother's day with her if u r not goning to see her means u can not go to meet ur doughter too . if u do so ur husband will loos his temper on u because he is already angery with u because ur not going to visit his mother . why don't u throw a small family party at ur house and call some of ur good close friend and reltives . ur mothe in law . ur doughter . tell ur husband to invite some of his friend and ther family so do u . it will bacame a little expencive for u but a great idea no will get angery from u ur husband will be happy to see his doughter and mother together ... think about it and talk to him about this idea i guess it will work........
