Your husband SHOULD be old enough and mature enough to handle this situation. Can't he understand that she's ill? Can't he see that she just isn't her "old" self? What's the matter with HIM?

I would think that he would be gentle with her, and understanding. I would THINK that he could overlook these things, especially since she doesn't come over that often.

If he's that immature that he just can't handle it, tell him to go in the garage and work on the car or something. LOL I'm sorry to blast your husband, but I think he's being immature about this, and acting like a spoiled kid who can't get his own way. It's pathetic that you have to "smooth things over" with your husband just because your Mother is coming for Easter!!! Tell him to take a hike. LOL
