A little venting is healthy!

OK.... so every wedding idea I have had and have shared with my mom she has 'one upped me'. I bought frames for my table numbers ( I am making my own ) and she said 'ohhh I was going to buy wood ones and spray paint them silver.' Why would I have her do that or do that myself when you can buy silver frames easily enough!? Then we were in Kohls and I was looking at frames for my card box (I want to make it our of collage frames) and she picked up a box and said why don't you decopage this instead? NOT what I want.
Finally, I pointed out that she has not been excited about any of my ideas or said they were good or anything positive. She just ignored my statement.

UUghhh I am learning why LIW is so great..... people listen.. give their opinion but are just supportive. Thanks ladies and I am sorry this is on the long side!

sometimes weddings bring out the worst in people, don't worry she will come around, maybe even have a little talk with her she might not realize what she is doing.

sorry that you feel bad. maybe try to use one of her ideas and limit the rest. tell her that YOU want to do stuff for your wedding, but you appreciate that she is tryin to help

of course, managing parents is almost like a fulltime job at times, so tread slowly.

GL!
