TOP ANSWERS (AS SELECTED BY MODERATOR):
The following top answers have been selected by a moderator from hundreds of responses to the original question.
"You’re joking, right? Let the man fish. You have SUNDAY to spend with him. You’re not his mother. He wants to go fishing as he does once a month. Let him go. It’s not the end of the world. You definitely sound entitled and controlling."
"It’s not Mother’s weekend It’s mothers day If he’ll be home Sunday it should be fine…"
"I don’t see an issue wanting to go the day before. Tbh I just feel like you’re being petty. Your feelings are valid of course but not necessary. What if you planned something the day before Father’s day? Would it make sense if he got mad?"
"If he is home on Sunday then let him go and enjoy his tradition"
"As long as he still acknowledges the actual day and makes it special I wouldn’t be concerned about the day before"
"It’s one day. And you’re not his mother anyways. He’s going Saturday, not Sunday. Unless you had plans for the whole weekend that he’s blowing you off, I don’t see the issue at all."
"You are dead wrong. It’s not your weekend, it’s your day. Not like he’s going on Mother’s Day."
"No issue. It’s fishing not like they are going on a trip. Saturday fishing Sunday all you"
"Fishing opener is mother’s day wknd! There’s many mommas that feel the same way as you, but let the man fish!"
"Wow… just celebrate yourself Sunday, if he’s even still gone then. Forcing or guilting him into staying home is the wrong thing to do."
