Pushy mother in law

Cheyenne, on January 22, 2018 at 3:36 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 3
Ever since my fiance and I have gotten engaged, my mother in law has been so pushy about everything to do with the wedding from the venue to the church to what flowers are in my bouquet. She insisted on a lot of things that I don't like or want but felt the need to go along with because she is giving us some money for the wedding, because my fiance agreed with her and because I can be a pushover. I finally started standing my ground on some things now and have even changed things to what i want but have also closed her off from planning. But, no matter what I do, she just keeps pushing. I refuse to tell her any details, I tell her everything is taken care of, etc and she just keeps trying and is refusing to take the hint. My fiance is her "baby" and the last of his siblings to get married so I get that's where this is coming from but I am ready to snap on her and I don't know what to do from here.

    I can totally relate, and I wish I had advice because at this point I wish we could elope! My fiance is also the baby, and there isn't a day that my future mother in law isn't blowing up my phone or my mom's. Half of the questions she asks we have previously told her we are taking care of. Hang in there!

    So my fh is his moms only son and girlllll I can relate lol we’re lucky she lives in another state😂😂 well recently I almost went off because she is trying to stay at our house two nights before the wedding and the night of and everything catered to her and his family. Night before doesn’t bother me I’ll be In a hotel fh will be at the house but the Thursday before I’m working half a day I pick up two friends from the airport and then get everything together for Friday because I’m gonna be running around. Well she got offended she couldn’t choose the days but it’s like I’m gonna be so stressed and I don’t need his mom, Dad and two sisters and us plus one of his groomsmen and bridesmaid (two people already staying there ) in there that night or I will lose it. So she had to compromise but yes she’s very pushy wants to see my dresss I said no. We got engaged and fh didn’t wanna tell her that night because she has a big mouth (his words not mine but I didn’t object 🤭) she told his sisters when he wanted to tell them and is just being annoying on all of it. The only thing I can say is take it with a grain of salt and try to bite your tongue because you don’t want anything to start and argument between them then to you that’s been my fear. Hopefully everything works out!!

    Girl I can relate. I’ve found that the best way to deal with things is to be a step ahead of her and have things booked and done... like when she said she was going to ask her hair stylist to do my wedding party’s hair, I found someone I liked and booked them right away. Still, she keeps finding ways to back me into a corner, and sometimes you just gotta vent.

    For instance, his weekend she told me she was paying for my nails and was going to call and make an appointment for her, her daughter, and me... As if I wasn’t going to do a pampering day with my whole wedding party. Then she told us she was planning a get-together at her house between the ceremony and reception, when we purposely booked venues a few blocks apart from each other and the hotels so everyone could stay in the area. Then she got upset that we were planning to open gifts at our own home the next day, because she was planning to do that at her house....

    All I can say is THANK GOD we only have 4 months to go!!
