bit of a rant!

Original post by FutureMrs.M

So I found out this weekend that FMIL has been complaining to her friends that I am only giving her 43 guest...(I know its a weird number but that is what the division of the money came out to between my parents, his parents and then our friends.) So I think it is ridiculous for her to be complaining behind my back. FH and I decided to take the $ My parents gave us and split evenly and then if anyone wants to invite people above that 43 then they have to pay the difference. I mean geez my parents are inviting another 40 people and they are paying for that too and havent complained once about it. Is it me of is that totally out of line


PS-Let me also say I found out about this in passing...i wasnt snooping. It was one of the GM b-day and we went out for dessert for it with his parents. The mom who was near death atleast 4 times last year said it in passing. I totally think since she has been sick her filter doesnt work and she just says what she wants to now, without really thinking. So she said she heard it from another friend so FMIL has been spreading this around to numerous people!!!

honestly then, FH needs to sit her down (and maybe you should be there too so he wont go soft on her)

lol its sooo funny cuz FH and I truly are in and yang. he is soo soft and lets things go and im well lets just say the opposite. I dont like being taken advantage of and I especially dont like being stabbed in the back. atleast let me see the knife comming

to shut her up... tell her..for NOW this is what ur budget allows.... and maybe closer to the wedding date she can add more people depending on finances....

after u say that.... ANY HUMAN with DECENCY will OFFER to PAY for any extra guests!!!
if she doesnt.. dont even let her get to u!

maybe shes just spreading the whole 'wahhhh my fdil is only allowing a certain amount of guesstss waaaaaaaah' so her friends wont get offended when they find out they arent invited?

just have fh flat out ask her why shes saying shyt.

if she doesnt stop then.. offer her some cheeeeeeeeeeseee with her wineeee

if its equal division between everyone i don't see what she would have to complain about, i would suggest having your FH talk to her about it




I agree with Teri,

i think fh has to sit her down and talk to her. i also think giving her 43 people was enough.

I've realized things about mom's...

They like to talk talk talk about other people to their friends about everything even if they really don't mean it. They are weird people.. lol

I totally feel for you though but you are absolutely right.
