Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

Wedding? Just wondering..

Mine does not show any interest at all. Hey I'm not letting it bother me.. The less I have to hear from her (them) the better. That's the way I see it.

me too!! but my FMIL is a sweet lady and just isn't into that kind of stuff.

she smiles and says 'That's nice' when we tell her wedding stuff---but i think it's cause she figures it's our thing....and doesn't get super excited about it.

Yes, we are not speaking to his mom since last September. It is ridiculous.

She shows interest but then when I show her what we have done, she doesn't say anything. This weekend I said I'll be nice & show her my tiara & the bm gifts & my jewelry & she's like 'Oh.' That's all she said. I don't let it get to me though

I know. My mother shows very little interest at all. I guess because I'm older and ALL of my siblings have been married (one twice) so she's weddinged out. Plus she's in Florida. I feel like I'm on my own and wish it wasn't that way.

(Feeling sorry for myself???? Maybe.)

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

for me it was the opposite. my MIL showed A LOT of interest and my mom - nada! not until the very end anyway.

ETA: after the wedding, my mom wouldn't stop talking about the wedding. I couldn't believe it. I was done with it and wanted to move on and that's all she talked about. It really got to me at times. it would have been nice if she was like that BEFORE the wedding!

My FMIL has been great. She's always asking us about the wedding. Unfortunately it's my mon who shows less interest.

Mine does not show much, she thinks that we are doing everything to early....we started planning 4 months ago and now we are down to 10 months to go and it just seems like (to her) we are doing everything to early.
Its kind of annoying!!

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

My MIL showed no ineterst at first. But now she is involved in the planning process, I am happy about this but it makes my mom unhappy!!
Not everyone can be happy at the same time I guess!

OMG...it's not just me. My FMIL says 'Oh' to everything too. W T F??? I asked her if she wanted to come with me and a couple of the bridesmaids to see the dresses she said 'Oh.' It is a yes or no question!!!!! If I didn't know any better I would have thought I heard her wrong but she says 'oh' to everything.

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

Both FMIL and FFIL could care less. We bring over pics to show them of the catering hall etc. and they don't even want to look at them.
I agree with you - I would rather not have them involved anyway so it doesn't bother me at all. Plus, I really love the fact that my mom is so involved and has helped me with decisions every step of the way.

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

Pretty much! Except when she's trying to convince me NOT to marry her son! She's always saying stuff like 'You'd better think about it' or 'I'm telling you, don't do it!' but it's all good b/c I love his whole family and I tell them 'You know I'm really marrying him for his family!'

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

My MIL didn't show too much interest, but I tried not to take it personally. The whole process just wasn't her thing. I knew she couldn't be anyh happier about us getting married so I held onto that.

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

My FMIL does not stop talking about the wedding, every time I see her. She is very involved in the process, my mom on the other hand doesn't show any interest in the wedding at all.

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

I thought that I had the only one!

My FMIL has never asked one question about the wedding. She has never expressed excitement, asked if she could do anything, how things are going, nothing.

However she LOVES to talk about her damn dress and shoes for the wedding!! She's extremely self-involved.

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

No interest, but I'm not offended b/c she doesn't show interest in anything, that has to do with his life. It's really sad, he is an only child and my family is the complete opposite.

Re: Does your FMIL show absolutely NO interest in you and your FH's

Puh-lease! When my FMIL actually does feign interest and ask me about planning, she then comments on how frivoulous I am being (not that I am at all and she's not contributing a penny might I add). She actually called me 'pathetic' when I told her my videographers video samples made me teary. Yes, maybe I was a little sappy but I don't think that warrants being called that. Then my own mother, after our registering fiasco, doesn't partake in anything anymore, which is fine. Her two cents did nothing but annoy me. So, no, we are not alone!
