I told my husband I wanted to be left alone for Mother’s Day & i in fact was, left alone on Mother’s Day.
So no. I say do what you want.
Tell your mother in law TO BUTT
Forget it you spend
every
day with them. No reason why her son cannot manage for a day. She is just jealous.
Do not feel bad, you need to take care of yourself 1st and foremost or you won’t feel like taking care of your children! Or your husband!!
Do you know why I put the " angry" emoji? The only person whose opinion matters, IS YOUR HUSBAND’S!!! HE told you to go, and I HOPE your husband put his blasted mother in her place when she made that remark. Why are you allowing this b**** to steal your joy? From now on, ignore her and as best as you can, stay away from her. Let yr husband know how you feel

Stop feeling guilty, glad you enjoyed yourself.
Hubby needed to shut down his own mother…hard. she was gifted a bit of pampering by him and their kids. MIL just needs to stay out of it.

This is what she wanted. Don’t let her get to you. He needs to stick up for you. All mom’s need time alone. You’re not just a mom. You’re so many other things too.

Don’t worry about what others think! You did what you wanted to do. We must take care of ourselves first before we can take care of others. You needed a break, you needed to be pampered and you needed to feel good. Don’t feel guilty.
I, myself, wasn’t around my kids on Mother’s day. My husband and I remodeled our bathroom so my mother kept them. I didn’t want them around the fumes. But, that’s what I wanted to do! My children were fine and I felt good doing something I’ve wanted to do for a while.
Do not feel one bit guilty as mother’s day is your day to do as you please. You are entitled to a day out so ignore your mother in law’s comments
It’s your day, i left my 3 kiddos and he took me out to eat. No guilt,

Don’t feel bad! She is a bitch! Sometimes to be a good mom a small break is good. Just because you did something different from what she woukd do does not give her the right to even speak on what you do! Tell her to buzz off

I have never spent Mother’s Day with my kids.
I spend damn near every day with them.
I do my nails and lunch or go for a hike. Literally anything but take care of them.
Do not feel bad AT ALL.
Uhh no… DO NOT FEEL GUILTY! I didn’t spend it with my kid either 
we for sure sent him to grandmas for that weekend! Mother’s day means different things to different people. Me… I’m a Fricken MOM … EVERYDAY… the ONE day that is labeled Mothers day… means it’s my day to do whatever the hell I want to with it. LOL
You are doing amazing and don’t let her ruin that! She should be happy she raised a son that Helps you and encourages you making time for yourself! Also the kids aren’t going to think about you being gone for a couple hours on “Mother’s Day” lol

It’s quite obvious that you’re not a bad mom! That’s what Mother’s Day is about, YOU!!! in my eyes, that’s a gift your husband did for you 
being able to go out and pamper yourself for once. The MIL, is probably just jealous and said those things, just to be a bitch 
Your MIL would not be allowed back at my home if she called me a bad mother. Her and I don’t even have the greatest relationship but she would never. 
I spent the whole weekend out of state and left my kid with my mother. I must be the worst parent then.

Do not let other’s expectations of a given situation be your responsibility. She left her house to come see her son and grandchildren, why didn’t he go to her? It depends on how you take it.

It sounds like you have a caring and thoughtful husband despite his mama being a little Inconsiderate. Yes, those kids made you a mom but everyone deserves a break and needs a little time so that they don’t completely lose themselves in one of the most immersive roles on this planet. Parenting is a full time job and you deserved that little break whether you get them regularly or not… more so since you don’t normally get them. Don’t feel guilty in the slightest. When are you supposed to get that break if not on Mother’s Day and/or your Birthday?
You can’t win… don’t try… you r doing a great job… mil is a piece of work

Your mother in law needs to mind her own business. It’s YOUR day! You do whatever you wanna do. Don’t let your MIL make you feel any different or guilty. If I had that option, I would do it.
Mothers day is for mums, spend it the way that’s best for you. A pamper day is well deserved and probably well overdue for most mums. Your husband sounds lovely and thoughtful, your mil not so much x
I think we have earned the right as a mom, to do with our Mother’s Day what we want…plus your husband encouraging you to do so shows exactly what kind of mom you are. He’s the one that sees you everyday and knows what kind of mom you are. I’d let her sit in her own negativity and judgments…try not to let it affect you! 
It’s the one day you get to yourself. Don’t let her make you feel bad for it.

Hell no, I’ve gotten into arguments with my own mom for saying bullshit like that when I was married. There’s nothing wrong with it at all
It’s a day. That day alone does not make you a good mother. Or a bad mother. So as long as you know in your mind you’re doing what needs to be done for your kids. It doesn’t matter when you actually do it. You could have went out on a Tuesday and she still would have said something. 
keep taking care of you and your kiddos. The fact that you feel guilty already proves you’re not a bad mom. You deserved to go out 
I told my kids to LEAVE ME ALONE! Lol 
I said I’m a mom every day so Mother’s Day should be every day and it’s not it’s for one day to appreciate us and let’s us have our time to ourselves because we deserve it! Lol even though I ended up not doing anything just had dinner out with them but my hubby watches them every other time I need to go do something for myself like nails or hair or shop. 
Don’t feel guilty. I didn’t get to go out that day because we didn’t have the money to
