Mother’s Day
Am I being unreasonable for being upset with my MIL? My partner works for her in the family business and asked for Mother’s Day off as it is our first one (didn’t even know I was pregnant last year). But his mum said no because she was going to see her partners mum and siblings. Am I in the wrong for feeling like she has taken this day away from us? My partner got me presents etc but just feels like we lost our day. I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t a first. Just feeling a bit deflated about it when she chose to go see someone else’s mum who has had lots of Mother’s Days before without a second thought for me and how I would feel

Not unreasonable
That's mean, id be upset too x
I would be so upset too
Not unreasonable but the best advice I can give, is celebrate the day not the date. We tend to do 2 Christmases. One year with my family, one with his. However, on the one where it's his, we still do another Christmas day/dinner on another day with my family. It doesn't matter that it's not on the 25th, we still get the day. It also works great because my family tend to work shifts which include bank holidays depending on their pattern. So celebrating the day and not the date makes everybody happy. 😊 Pick a day he's off to have your little family mother's day, it'll still be super special.

No I don't think you're being unreasonable at all that's not very fair to you especially as it's a first one
