My MIL Wants To Go On My Honeymoon!

Yeah i would say no

I would explain to her that it is your HONEYMOON, so um although you love them and love their company this is not the appropriate time

Is she a bit, um, how can I put this politely, "off"

Lock yourselves in your room, take the phone off the hook and put a do not disturb sign on the door! WTH!!!!!

Uh, NO. You have every reason to be upset. I would have DH talk to her and let her know that she is more than welcome to go to the lodge on those days, but she will be forking over some $ so you guys can stay elsewhere.

If it so happens there is no wa to get her out of this. Rebook else where, and DO NOT tell her where you are staying and tell her you're taking your cell phone with you for emergencies ONLY.

Wouldn't do any good because she wouldn't listen. She's the type that she will do what she wants when she wants regardless of what anyone says. I will probably have to keep looking for somewhere else to go on my honeymoon. I always have to change things for her. Initially she said that she wasn't even coming to the wedding because she has a flea market booth that she has to open up on that weekend and money means more to her then seeing her son getting married. Now that my FH's oldest brother figured out a way for her to be there she wants to ruin my honeymoon. I also will bet anyone that she will show up at my outside wedding wearing either a pair of shorts or capris and not even try to dress up. She's not even helping with anything for the wedding and doesn't really even care about it. My FH's dad on the other hand is making her come because he wants to be there.

She sounds extremely inconsiderate. I think if she has no regard for you guys, you shouldn't have any regard for her. Definitely re-book at a different hotel/lodge and don't tell her about it. Or have your FH lay down the law to her because he mentioned it to her in the first place.

Agree with Anne. First she sounds rude, and Second he wanting to come on the honeymoon is just completely inappropriate

A Do Not Disturb sign wouldn't work because she would think it was for the maid only.

WOW! All I can say is WOW!

Oh my goodness. Find somewhere else to stay and DO NOT TELL HER! Tell FH to keep it quiet too. Gosh, how nasty can a person get? I would be beyond angry if my FMIL did that to us.

Time to change your plans

Then I would make a sign that says "MIL'S NAME" stay the he** away!!!!! and put it on my door! Or, if she hasn't made her reservations yet, tell her you decided to go somewhere else MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE and see if she will book to go there insteaed? You guys need your privacy, crap, better to stay home and get a sitter to watch your kiddos!

I if you can't find another place wouldn't tell her what room you are in. No phone a do not disturb sign whatever. I would also call the place and be like... "Is there any way that you can give these people a room that's the farthest away from ours?"

My problem is that we can't find anywhere else to go. I'll keep looking though.

Absolutely tell her NO!

I'm about fed up because I can't find anywhere else to go. Maybe I should just save money and stay home for our honeymoon. If I stay home I might as well keep the kids home too.

Is there anywhere else within driving distance that you can go?

Nvr mind, just saw your other post. Well could you honeymoon in? Since the kids are away the parents could play? So to speak, not to be crude... but plan some nice time.

There are hotels around here but nothing like what we wanted because they are all in town and we wanted to be somewhere that has things to do. This lodge has hiking trails, swimming, boating, etc.

Do you think she is going there because you are or because she really wants to go there? If it because she wants to go there, not sure there is anything you can do about her, but if its just so she can upset you, find another place, even if you can't afford it, and book it. Most places you don't pay till you go. Then tell her all about it and how wonderful it is and how excited you are :-) after she switches, cancel your reservation there and don't tell her :-)
