I’m 26 weeks pregnant and trying to figure out my leave. I live in NJ and work at PwC, any fishes know the policy for NJ and PwC? The leave center has not been much help and I want to plan NOW not like 60 days before. I was told NJ gets two weeks before due date and PwC gives you two weeks as well.

NTA. That is very very annoying.
I would take a spontaneous "sick" day sometime this week and spend time doing all the things YOU want to do.
Thanks all - this makes me feel less terrible. I asked that we keep it to 2hrs and that I not be left watching the kids the whole time. He definitely seemed to get the message, so I appreciate that he’ll at least be aware… I’m not trying to take the day away from his mom, just to get a little bit of a break 😅
Wishing you all a wonderful Mothers’ Day!!
You don't want to go, so don't go.
Happy Mother's Day💐
Next year, book yourself a spa day, and when he pulls this again, tell him to have fun but that you have plans
I declined going to my mom's house for mother's day. My dad was trying to plan lunch, and I'm tired of being the default planner between me, my dad, and my siblings (2 brothers). So they can fend for themselves on making it special. I'm going to take my mom to lunch on Tuesday.
Meanwhile in my household I got nothing but a verbal "happy mother's day" from my husband. Other than that, it was a normal weekend. So I locked myself in the bathroom for 30 minutes to take a bath at least 🤷🏼♀️. My husband didnt do anything for his mom either.
Glad you’re carving out some (albeit limited 😢) time for you ❤️
NTA. I feel like I’ve never really enjoyed a Mother’s Day because it always ends up being about our moms and not me as a mom. I have to worry about making time to visit with my mom, MIL and Step MIL (and often all three separately). Sometimes we just host brunch to make it easy. I think I’m booking a trip next year. Make it about me for once!
NTA. Did you let your husband know what you wanted to do earlier? Tell him you just want a low key day, especially since you have two little ones!
Don’t go. My husband takes the kids to my mother in laws so I can be home alone.
NTA. I see both sides though. Your husband wanting to also celebrate his mom. I suggest celebrating his mom on the Saturday before Mother’s Day then having Sunday be yours. Assuming you don’t have other Mothers to also fit in….
We did this with my mom this year and it felt like the perfect compromise. She understood that I’m a mom now too and need my day. But I also wanted to celebrate her. She was cool with getting her alternate Mother’s Day.
This was going to be the plan for my mom too (my sister made the plan), but I’ve been sick all week, have a 3 and 1 year old, and everyone seems to have forgotten that I’m also a mom.
So I told them yesterday I’m not going and I’ve just been sitting in bed and catching up on sleep and not mad about it. Hope you still have a lovely day ❤️
I’m so sorry, that totally sucks. Sending you a big hug and wishing you all the best for a quiet, restful Mothers Day. I hope you’re feeling better and can treat yourself (solo or with some girlfriends) to a nice afternoon soon 💕
You’re NTA at all! My husband made brunch reservations and invited his siblings, their partners, and my MIL to join us. They’re all making the drive down so we can celebrate together but I don’t mind at all because they’ve been so helpful with our baby and my MIL is super sweet. She doesn’t even care that it’s Mother’s Day - she’s just happy to spend time with her grandchild. That said, I did tell my husband that we won’t be spending every Mother’s Day with his family, but since it’s my first and the baby is so young, I don’t mind spending the day with them. I would just communicate with your husband and tell him how’d you like to spend the day.
