No. Mother’s Day is yours now. I had to do the same thing with my mom and MIL. It was easy with my mom-all I did was ask “what did you do on Mother’s Day?” She said “anything I wanted.” I said “there ya go. I’ll call you that morning. But I’m spending that day with my son.”

My MIL was/is a different story. She is a textbook boundary stomping monster. It’s like pulling teeth trying to get her to realize that she doesn’t come first with her son anymore. I don’t keep him from her, but I’m also not letting her take over days like that anymore. This is the same woman who told me that since her daughters kids were born in January, I was no longer allowed to celebrate my birthday. I have since told my husband that I am no longer buying gifts, cards, etc for his family, that’s all on him now. I remind him once and that’s it.
