📝 AITAH for not wanting his former step mom over for mother day?

So for mother’s day my husband said we would go out for brunch with our little ones at a noce restaurant. I agreed and think it’s a great idea as we never go anywhere since our kids are so young. He told me today he wants to invite his former step-mom (his father divorced her and remarried before he died) for dinner. Problem is I don’t really get along with her. We barely even have a relationship with her. My husband always tries to invite her over and she always says no. I feel like he’s not getting the hint that she doesn’t want to spend time with us but thats not the issue. The big issue here is I told my husband that since it’s mother day aka MY day, I prefer spending it with our little family. No guest especially not her. He said he will invite her and I should just get over it since I’m getting a brunch. Completely disregarded what I want and I clearly don’t have a say. He’s making me feel like I’m the asshole here and not him for not listening to what I want on a day that should be special to me. I’m 99% sure she will decline the invite anyways but its about the principle of his not caring about me…

UPDATE He came to see me after the kids went to bed (and after i gave him the silent treatment) and he said if I don’t want to have her over it’s fine and that he doesn’t want me to be unhappy. But he thinks I can sometimes be unsociable and he doesn’t like that. Not sure what to make of that.
