Motherhood is hard, and it's nice to be appreciated. Mother's Day is an official attempt to ritualize that appreciation, and some mothers have learned to weaponize it.

Guilt trips may be successful on the surface, but they do nothing to build real relationships within the family.
In this situation illustrated by Kristen Marie (she plays all the parts), grandma is used to being large and in charge, while her daughter-in-law was looking forward to quietly celebrating her first Mother's Day after giving birth, and her daughter is struggling with becoming a mother. No good can come of her complete obliviousness.
