How do you handle this...

Heres a question for ya:

How do you ladies handle all the unwanted opinions? Seriously.. I really think I'm loosing it. My MOH has an opinion about EVERYTHING regarding my wedding. Shes the first one to put her two cents in yet the last one to follow through on a simple task such as leaving a deposit for the BM dress.

How do you handle all of the bla bla bla bla bla :

Luckily, I haven't really had to deal with much of that, the worst is from my mom, and then I just vent to FH.

If it really bothers you a lot, then talk to her, maybe she doesn't realize. Otherwise I would just ignore her and come on here to vent, LOL.

Umm...smile and nod, then do what I want to. (But Leslie might have a better idea! )

Maybe I can suggest to Ron to make LIW FLAILS when you reach 10,000 posts.

Re: How do you handle this...

Les.. I love your idea.

Yes.. I have spoken to her about it, but she gets way to defensive, so I try to avoid confrontation. Ughh. SO annoying.

Re: How do you handle this...

It gets on my nerves, too, but I am more blunt about it than most. I say, 'well, this is how we're doing it' and that's THAT!

Re: How do you handle this...

My mom is kind of like this. So as much as it *****, I don't really share my wedding plans with her. When she offers her opinion I just smile and nod and try to tune her out.
