Afraid to call FMIL

She dislikes her anyway...but I have to call her and say that I kicked out her son's wife from our bridal party and replaced her...she was slacking too much. It's going to cause so much drama, but it's better off that way for FH and I. He hates her and I'm learning of how much of an evil person she is. Thanksgiving should be fun next week!

By christmas it will be forgotten ( hopefully)

Re: Afraid to call FMIL

I hope so! This is going to be the longest 1 1/2 of my life!

Re: Afraid to call FMIL

Just call her and get it over with. You want to be able to tell your side of the story before someone else does. Tell her that you have een on your FSIL's ack to take care of her dress and she just doesn't seem to care. Let her know that she has missed numerous deadlines for taking care of things and you just couldn't put yourself through the unnecessary stress. I bet she'll understand, and like I said, you want her to hear it from you before anyone else tells her and makes you out to be the bad guy.

Re: Afraid to call FMIL

Just curious...what constitutes as 'slacking'...I personally dont expect much from my girls except that they show up at the wedding in their dresses...dont know if im a really laid back bride or what?? I have been in bridal parties where i was like a slave, expected to do any and everything just because I was the MOH...not cool and i let them know that. I understand there are certain things to do in a wedding party but sometimes I think brides take it way overboard

By 'slacking' I mean that her FSIL hasn't gone to get her dress and has missed 2 deadlines TP set up for her to take care of the dress by.

Re: Afraid to call FMIL

Thanks, yep, that's it. And knowing her personally is why I consider it slacking. I just realized a friend of mine was fitted but didn't give the downpayment. She just got married and forgot in the middle of things. I figured that, it was no big deal, she went, paid her deposit and that was it. FSIL...she knew for a while now, all she had to do was call in her measurements and I was going to pay to mail her dress to her once it came in. I asked her why she didn't go by the first deadline and her response was 'i just didn't', then said she'd go that day, and now 1 week later, didn't go...so bye bye to her. I don't like people who care only about themselves and have no regard for others and that is how she is with FH's entire family. And because of her actions, she'll be the only one NOT in the party, but she made that choice by not going if you ask me!

Re: Afraid to call FMIL

Make him do it....hehe

Re: Afraid to call FMIL

He did because she called me back while i was still at work. She said hey you have to do it. So his brother called VERY upset, apologizing and embarassed of her. HE is calling in her measurements, how sad is that. SO, now I have an extra BM. Oh well.
