Evil family stories...
I figure we can share some stories of our family members behaving badly. Here's mine:
I understand. Here is the story of me and MY evil ***** of a mother…
When I announced to my mother that I was getting married, she decided to come with me and pay for my wedding dress. I was surprised because we have had a very on again off again relationship for my entire life. So we went to RK and bought the most beautiful dress. She paid half for a down payment. She was going to pay the balance once the dress was ready for pickup.
I had planned to have some flowers delivered to her office for Mother’s day. Now please keep in mind that my fiancé and I are planning a wedding and paying for 99% of it out of our own pockets. Also I was moving in with my guy the following week and we were remodeling his house. Well, two weeks before Mother’s day she calls and demands that I buy her a $100 necklace for Mother’s day. I told her I couldn’t afford it, but she kept harping on it.
A few days later my grandmother calls me screaming at me that I my mother called her saying that if I don’t buy her what she wants, then she isn’t coming to the wedding. I was taken aback. I explained to my grandmother that I can’t afford what she wants and that I was planning on just buying her some flowers. Well she said that because my mother paid for my dress she feels she should get what she wants. She even had the nerve to ***** about me buying gifts for my fiance and my best friend on their birthdays'. Um, hello! They are the two people I am closest too. How could I not buy gifts for them. I told my grandmother that I cant. I tried to call my mother and she never picked up the phone or called me back
Mother’s day comes and goes and I didn’t buy her anything. At this point I was very angry at being forced into a corner. I did send her a Mother’s day card however. She did not call me to thank me or tell me she got it or anything.
Ok.
Fine.
My grandmother calls me a couple of days later and tells me that my mother dropped off my bridal shoes and some of her stuff in the lobby of my grandmother’s building. She is no longer speaking to me, but now she isn’t speaking to my grandmother either. I told my grandmother that my mother is being extremely immature and if she doesn’t come to the engagement party that we are having next month (she IS getting an invitation) then she (and the people she made me add to the guest list) is not invited to the wedding. My grandmother said that is fair.
I don’t know what it is mothers. They have the ability to completely mess with our heads and we let them. Well this cookie isn’t going to allow her mother to ruin her engagement. Screw her. She will just miss one of the most important days of my life.
