I'm sorry girls, I know this is all I do but you guys have become my backbone.....
So, after scrutinizing FIL's handwritten guest list (god forbid they actually type it for me) I put everything into an excel sheet to track rsvp #s, responses, gifts, etc.
FMIL requested a copy of the list over the weekend (I have no idea why she didn't save the copy she gave me, but whatever) and when I sent it to her today she had the nerve to COMPLAIN that it is in excel and wants to know why its not in word.
If she wants it in word so bad she should do it herself! I wish I could tell her that.....
'Thanks for your work' would have been appreciated though.

I can feel your pain. I went through the same thing with my MIL. I waited forever for their guest list because my FIL had to put it in WORD. I didn't get their final list until the night before I wanted to send the invites out. Guess what I was up until 4 in the morning doing. Than after then invites went out she called me to ask me to re-send an invite because it went out addresses to Mr. & Mrs. So&So and it should have been Dr. & Mrs! RU kidding me. The list I got said Mr. & Mrs. and thats how it went out.. I refused to re-send anything. For my shower when my sister asked her to call the people from her side who hadn't responded yet to get a final count, she asked my sister for the list. She didn't save a copy of her own list. Like your FMIL, why wouldn't you save a copy of the list for yourself. Now that we've been married almost 6 months I can say that my IL's have done a complete turnaround. I swear they treat me better than my DH. I just wish she hadn't aggravated me so much before the big day! Good Luck! Hopefully it will get better!

These people seem just awful and I really don't know how you deal with them... I would have told her to stuff it a long time ago... you have some patience..., Paste the XL file into Word and send it. It would seem that you're just not going to win here regardless of what you do or don't do... Sorry for that. Hang in there. !!!

What is with people???? She should be grateful you gave her a typed copy instead of just handing back the handwritten list she gave you in the first place!!

Re: Another FMIL Rant
Sounds like your FH really has to have a talk with her. She has gone over the line way too many times. This must come from him. He must speak up to her or else she will continue to do all these types of things and even if he talks to her and she still continues to after your married, then you can actually have a nice little talk with her yourself. Sorry she is being such a B********!

Re: Another FMIL Rant
Well my 2 cents... You can gert upset or you can have FH have a talk with her... OR learn to be oh so sweet and answer her like 'Ooh I don't know how to use Word, but if you don't mind, make a copy for me when you re-type it? Thanks so much you're an angel!'
