I know i have ranted about my fmil in previous posts but todays experience takes the cake.... I get a call from my fh's brother today and he says oh btw congratulations on your engagement (weve been engaged since september) im like ok thanks... he says dont expect my mom to be so gracious with you and congratulate you... (so gracious you are calling to say congrats four months later)... he says my mom is really upset that you didnt ask her permission to marry her son.. WHAT???? I didnt ask his moms permission and shes mad at me???? Fh's brother continues to state that she is also mad at my family because my fh asked my dad before he proposed and at that time my dad should have called her to make sure it was ok with her. On top of that he says he wants to know how much fh spent onmy ring because anything over 1000 dollars would be too much on a girl like me..... I nearly spit the water i was drinking out.... how do oyu deal with insanity??

Re: FMIL Drama (borderline hysterical)
Maybe you should inform her that just about NOBODY asks the mother of the son for permission...ANd FBIL has nerve to say that he shouldn't have spent more than 1000 on your ring.

Re: FMIL Drama (borderline hysterical)
He called you 4 months after the fact? To tell you that $1000 is too much to spend on a girl 'like you'? What the fudge? Seriously, that is messed up.
Two things for you: 1.
2. because you're putting up with way more than your share. I hope your FH is behind you here. I can see him not wanting to make waves and aggrivate his nutso family, making things worse, but that doesn't mean he isn't on your side.
Good luck to you, stay strong, and keep doing what you're doing - let the comments roll off your back while they're being given, and then come here to LIW to make fun of them behind their backs.

Re: FMIL Drama (borderline hysterical)
What does your FH have to say about all of this. I would be soooo pissed. You're a better person than I am, because if I were in your shoes, I would've called FMIL up and gave her a piece of my mind!
Sorry you have to deal with this... it's so unfair

Fh says she is crazy but he is trying hard not to make waves in his family because they are all nuts. His mom and brother are having a really hard time accepting that he is getting married so they tend to lie about stories and his family ends up hearing bout things that never happened... plus his uncle is really sick suffering with cancer so in perspective i understand why we are just letting things slide off our back... and actually when it truly is ridiculous stuff liek this its not too hard to do. Thanks girls so much for all your help and advice... you all are the best!!!
