I have 3 moms (not really though) : My birth mom, step mom and mother in law. Mother's Day gets somewhat pricy to do or buy something for all of them and this year is no different.
I took my step mom out for a nice lunch with just her and i today. She is taken care of.
My mother in law is having something at her house tomorrow and does not like to eat out so we got her a gift card to a local clothing store.
Here is the problem: For my mom, i made/designed her an apple iphoto book from our vacation together which cost about $60.
We were trying to spend an equal amount on each of them but my mom still wants to have breakfast/lunch with us tomorrow.... She does not EXPECT it, but wants to make plans for it.
I feel bad having to spend so much more on her than the other two moms.
I would say that i could make breakfast, but we live quite far from each other and neither one of us wants to drive such a long way.
IF we do go out to eat tomorrow with her, not only would we be paying for hers and ours, we would probably have to pay for my younger brother as well.
HOW do I tell her SOMETHING, ANYTHING about the situation without hurting her feelings?
PLEASE help me.
PS, please don't think we are being cheap here. we are not at all, its just that of course all the restaurants in the area are charging more for food tomorrow beacuse of the holiday. so for all four of us to eat out, we are looking at another 40-50$
