Does anyone else have a momzilla?

Yes!
My mom has been pretty good overall with the exception of the tattoos on my arms. She has been constantly telling me to cover it. She's always hated them and so for this she especially constantly constantly Badgers me about it.

My mom has been pretty good. My issue is that she is too excited. Like I need a break. She has been posting weekly countdowns. I can't wait until it doesn't happen anymore lol.

My mom is actually pretty excited and tries to help wherever she can. She would send me stuff and ask my opinion. She wants to help pay so bad that she's on a strike from pretty much doing anything unnecessary to save up all she can. She just asks me to keep her updated on anything I come across because she wants to see what will be financially doable with her help. Bless her heart lol.

My mom is super excited. The only thing she has done that got me a little upset was she bought flower girl dresses that I didn't want. They are white my dress is ivory. And I want silver lol. But I let it go and she realized they won't fit the girls so it worked itself out.

My mother would only talk about getting her dress before I picked mine out. Then she tried the same dress on as my wedding dress. She was awful!
Then she started refusing to shop for MOB dresses.
I'm focused on my house right now, but I'll get to argue wedding things with her again very soon.

View Quoted Comment Ugh, I'm sorry. Its not even like that's an easy fix, but they're tattoos that you wanted and wear proudly. She'll have to live with it. Good luck! Xo

View Quoted Comment Aw that makes me smile. Yeah, my mom is super helpful, but out of nowhere she has become nasty. Won't let us look at a contract without her looking at it. Doesn't agree with my menu, I wanted a friend as an officiant as we're gonna do a small Catholic wedding g a few months after (at her request), if I don't answer the phone right away, I'm rude....just an attitude

View Quoted Comment Lol maybe it's better to let things run its course. You guys are making me feel better and not get so mad!

My stepmom and her mother (who I’m not in any way related to) are driving me crazy! Giving me panic attacks over nothing, causing tension between me and my real mom, going against my wishes and trying to force things on me, trying to pressure her son to get married before me even though he’s not even engaged yet, asking me the same questions over and over I already answered...ughhh!

View Quoted Comment Oy. That stinks. I'm so sorry. Sometimes people act a certain way and we have to pick and choose battles...good luck! Hugs!

Wow. That's crazy. I would need a break too. She sounds like a lawyer. Looking over things and trying to negotiate changing things (as far as the menu). I was looking into having a friend officiate but I would have to double check with whatever venue we go with and make sure they'll allow him to do so. Have you already talked to her about her.....excessive involvement?

View Quoted Comment Yes exactly! My FH wanted me to say something right away but I'm like no let's see if we can find a reasonable way out of this. My cousins daughter tried it on and my mom realized it wouldn't work. She returned them and now I can get the ones I want lol!

My mom went from not being excited for my wedding to being overly excited! She was always throwing out ideas she had and hounding me about planning too much too early. It started stressing me out! I stopped mentioning much about planning to her so both of us could calm down, and that helped a lot! Take steps back from planning and hopefully your mom will get the idea

Absolutely, and it’s awful. She’s been acting like it’s her wedding- throwing an absolute fit when I said I wanted a wedding on a Friday because it’s cheaper. Found an affordable venue on a SATURDAY, throws a fit because it’s an hour and fifteen minutes away. I just graduated from nursing school and don’t start my new job until August and they pretty much threatened to kick me out if I don’t have a Saturday wedding close to home. I’ve already been called selfish and everything else and I feel so lost. Happy wedding planning. 🙄

My mother and I didn't get along for much of my life and have just recently started making amends now that her mental health is in a better place. When I told her we were planning a Halloween wedding, my mom spent 3 HOURS on the phone with me insisting it should be done up like Beauty & the Beast (my favorite Disney princess movie) complete with my FH in costume as the Beast. She stalked Pinterest to find my wedding board (it sucks to have a unique name) and comments about what she likes on it/doesn't like on it whenever she sees me. When I changed my mind on centerpieces to something she had apparently suggested (that I had completely forgotten about) she gloated for over an hour. So happy I live 3 hours from her and I'm planning this wedding by myself.

Yes? I don't know if this counts....
My mom 100% supports us getting married BUT we are not allowed to talk wedding stuff around my mother AT ALL. Her rules. And we all live together. She loses her dayum mind anytime anything wedding related is brought up and yells "it's too much money for one day!"
My mom sleeps on the couch, has done so for years, even though there is a bedroom for her.
My SO and I have to hide in our room, go outside, or sit in a car to talk over plans. It's ridiculous. Still another 13 months before the wedding.
It's not like we are spending a ton either. Less than $9k for the whole wedding and expected guest count around 130.

Reading these reminds me that it has been a while since I brought my mom garden flower bouquet for their house, and her separate office. Our lilacs are in bloom, and this reminds me that she never oversteps boundaries, and is always supportive. I think a few of my kids and I will pick armfuls of lilacs, and pop over my parents house.

Hi there arm tattoo twin! My mom was the same way. She at one point tried to rub it off and asked if it was removable. I sat down and told her "Mom, I love you very much but times have certainly changed and this is how I express myself. I am not my tattoos but they tell my story and I love them. There is nothing I can do about them now that they are permanent, and neither can you." She still gave me the occasional side eye but things smoothed out for the most part after that HUGS (with tattooed arms)

View Quoted Comment I got married on Saturday and the first thing my mom did when she saw me was say "oh my goddddddddd you didn't cover up your arm tattoos" and then she gave me a stinkface but in the end no one even noticed the tattoos because I was always holding a bouquet or onto my husband or something.
