Veronica asked:
I don’t want to go because 1. It is way too many people in her small house 2. I don’t want spend time with my brother in laws family 3. I don’t want to deal with my own families BS. What should I do? Send flowers to my mother (can still do that)

You don’t have to stay that long, but for God’s sake, it’s MOTHER’s day. Spending a acouple hours with family shouldn’t be agonizing. Go. This isn’t about you.

Save face. Go, put on a smile, and then after a couple hours (and whether or not you have eaten) excuse yourself with “we have other plans.” that is ALL you have to say. Maybe your other plans include sitting staring at the TV in the privacy of your own home. If it’s a cookout, maybe you can be outside the whole time. Bring lawn chairs and offer to eat outside (by yourselves if you have to). As for the flowers, skip them. Mom would appreciate them, but I know she would rather see you in person, even for a short time. Be assertive, not aggressive. I’ts only one day, after all.

you know we have to do at times things that we do not want to do.. but it is mothers day and you should just look at it that way.. you do not have to stay the whole time.. bow out and go to your room…. just give your mom a card, flowers, something she needs or likes…make sure you are nice to everyone.. there is going to be many times in life that we have to compromise to let someone else we love have a good day…you can be at family gatherings and talk to those you like best but be nice to all and do not start a conflict of any kind..
