Mother's day (mother in law)

Re: Mother’s day (mother in law)

I’m getting married in less then 2 months. Mother’s day is around the corner and I want to do something nice for my mil. I’ve only spoken to her 3 times, once over the phone and twice in person, I’m scared that sending her flowers or something on mothers day will seem awkward because we don’t really have a relationship, I’ve been engaged for almost 6 months and she lives in another country.
What would you do?

I think it’s a great idea. You can send her something small like flowers/chocolate and I’m sure she’ll appreciate it a lot I think it’s a nice gesture. Now having said that perhaps you could also ask your husband-to-be what his take is on it. In some families, mother’s day is not really celebrated however you can’t go wrong with flowers and chocolate. And while we’re here, do it because you want to do it, don’t do it because you feel obligated to do it and most certainly don’t do it to score goodie points because you may not score them and that may lead to some tangled feelings on your behalf. In short do it with no expectations, that’s all I guess. Good luck with the wedding and congrats
