I have mixed feeling about today. Last year we took MIl to breakfast with my SO family. We went to a place where it brought back memories of my Mom and I had to walk out of the restaurant and was crying . I didn't want to be there and celebrate someone else(especially since she is not really a nice person to my SO)But anyway MIL knows I don't want to go to this place. And it is a chain restaurant not some special one. I aM not going but my mixed emotions are that I am sad that MIL won't go somewhere else but I am happy I will not have to see the entitled SKs.

I struggle with Mother’s Day because it has become such a toxic shit show of a holiday that women are left feeling either left out or forced into doing things they aren’t comfortable with because it’s all for the MOM Day.  Nobody should be forcing you to do anything if it’s causing you emotional stress, it’s just another holiday that got taken over by Hallmark and has turned into another corporate cash grab.
