Does anyone else have issues deciding which mother(s) to honor on Mother’s Day?

My wife, the mother of my two children, wants Mother’s Day to be low-key this year. No getting together with my parents and siblings, or her mother and siblings.

We will start the day by cooking Kim breakfast. Then church, and an afternoon of watching my son play baseball with his team. Then I’ll barbecue ribs for dinner.

What about MY mother? She and my dad will go to the home of one of my brothers, where they and my other brothers and their spouses will enjoy a brunch.

Kim’s mom will have a quiet afternoon with Kim’s sister, who lives with Kim’s mom.

It will be impossible to please all three moms. Of course, I choose to please Kim first and foremost. I called my mom today to explain it, and fortunately, she completely understands.

Of course, I’m out of her will (just kidding).

Is this day a mother of a problem for you?

Oh, and by the way, Happy Mother’s Day to one and all!
