How to celebrate Mother’s Day as a new mom?
I was pregnant and just missed Mother’s Day by 2 weeks last year so this year will be my first official day. As a new parent, how did you navigate this day?
My husband and I would always split the day- we’d go to my moms house who would have my side of the family over, and then we’d go to my MIL’s who would have my husbands side of the family over. I’m obviously a mom now and do expect the day to be what I want so I would love time with just my son and husband. But want to make others happy and see them too. I know I have to communicate with hubby but I guess I am looking for ideas on what you all do! Do you make time for everyone? Spend the day with just your nuclear family?
I have no problem popping in to see both mothers and I would like to, but I don’t want to spend hours doing so. Between nap schedules and hopping around, I know I’m going to feel like the day is not about me if we do so. My husband is a big mamas boy too so I know he’s going to trying to spend hours at her house like we used to and I don’t want to do that and he’s going to get offended if I say so.
Let me know your ideas/what you do! Thanks!
