FMIL rant! Need to let off some steam
Hey Ladies (sorry if this is long)!
So this past weekend, one of my closest friends got married. FH waited to the last minute to put his suit in the dry cleaner and the day before the wedding he calls me at my mom's house and tells me that the dry cleaner was closed and he was not able to get his suit out cuz (you guessed it) he waited to the last minute. I was clearly mad but I was busy helping my mom so i told him i would call him later. So he calls me an hour later and tell me he spoke with his mom and told her what happened and she volunteered to buy him a shirt and slacks. And he went with her. I was a little taken back by 1) her generosity and 2) the fact that he called her and told her what happened.
Anyway, so later on that night, I get back to our apt and FH looks really upset and I ask him whats wrong. He was like, oh I will tell you later because his younger brother was staying with us that night. So after his brother falls asleep, FH tells me that after he had called his mom and his mom had 'volunteered' to take him shopping for the shirt and slacks, his brother overheard his mom saying a bit annoyed 'how do they expect to pay for their wedding when they are going to weddings and going away to London in December' (sidenote: my BFF is getting married in London in dec and I am one of her BMs and I had planned to go way before I got engaged). And after he told me, my FH started to cry :( he said he hates the fact that his mom and dad never really believe in him and that they are always criticizing and instead of helping us they are pointing out things we are doing etc.
After FH told me this, I was p*ssed! I generally like his mom but she can be very pushy esp. after we got engaged. She started giving me a list of all these 'family' reception halls, where all the various family members have gotten married or had a birthday party. She was trying to push her photographer and DJ on me, she started shopping for invitations and favors way before I was looking and she's always disappointed when i dont go along with her plans. It just has become too much! She is stressing me out more than the wedding!!! I just dont know how to deal with her. I cant say anything nasty to her because she is my FMIL but really, who does she think she is?
