Can i be mad??
at my mom, or am i just being a *****y bridezilla again??!!!! it is getting really close girls and i don't know about you all, but i am REALLY SUPER STRESSED. everything sets me off lately.
anyway, we are not having any children at our wedding (nothing against them, we just made that decision and have stuck by it). my mom was in on the decision and even agreed with us that it was the best idea!! now, family members are asking if they can bring their kids (of course, we knew this would happen). My mom and i discussed this before invites went out and i asked her to be very clear with folks so that they would understand and that no one would feel singled out: 'Joanne has decided not to invite anyone under 18 period. While she wish she could, they are paying for almost everything themselves and cannot afford to have everyone's children there.' PERIOD. end of story.
well, she clearly did not do that. and NOW, with one cousin in particular (who is 15 but 6' 2') SHE (not to mention the parents) is CALLING ME, to lobby on his behalf and ask me to make an exception (for a cousin who has never even met my fiance and who i have not seen in 3 years - and who probably will have an awful time!). why can't she insulate me from this BS??? am i overreacting or can i be mad that my mom has not only caved, but also is now asking me to make an exception when there are good friends of mine who are not coming because they cannot bring their kids. ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel like i don't need this crap!! (thanks for letting me vent)
