My father did not celebrate Mother's Day with me last year....?

Or send a card or call. Last year was my first mother's day. I asked him why and he responded with "DID YOU GET YOUR STEPMOTHER A MOTHER'S DAY CARD?" "ARE YOU MY MOTHER?"

My stepmother called yesterday to invite me to a Mother's Day Celebration this Sunday. My other half and I already have plans for both Mothers and Father's Day that do not involve our families.

I intend to simply say that we have plans when they call. My brother's stuck up little "welfare wife" got pregnant a month after I told my family I was pregnant and demanded I get my things out of my father's 2nd house where she and my brother live virtually rent free. We pay our own rent in a tiny one bedroom and they reside in a three-4 bedroom house on ~1 acre of land. My family treats her like a princess and walks on eggshells around her because her folks are "land-rich." My folks fill their oil tank, buy their son diapers etc. etc.

What would you do about Mother's Day in my shoes?

It might be really hard, but it is good to remember to always be the bigger person. I think that you should join your family for Mother's day. You do not need to stay for very long, just be the bigger person for your family. It might be nice to bring a gift for your stepmother to set an example of how to be thoughtful! Families are nice to have around. Who knows, maybe if you attend their functions, they will start treating you better. You might also try and write them a letter explaining how you feel. Being stubborn will not solve the problem, it will only make them treat you worse and in turn make your life more stressful! Good luck!
