just had a huge fight with mom, she and FH'S mom were talking about the wedding (both parents are splitting it) and they disagree on things, today my mom thought that FH's mom insulted her somehow, i was trying to get to the bottom if it, when my mom accused me of liking FMIL better and taking her side instead of my mom's. FH and I have fought over our parents fighting and we dont want it coming btw us, but how do I explain things to over-sensitive mom that this is my wedding and she may be destroying it???

Re: huge fight with mom
i understand how u feel y dont u bring both sides together and discuss the wedding together and make plans
i know it may sound so like it wont work but if you involve everyone no one will get their feelings hurt
hope this helps

I agree... get everyone together and make a plan on how things will work or don't involve anyone other than you and FH....

Re: huge fight with mom
Rather than just adding everything up and than splitting the cost, maybe you can assign what each side will pay for.
Your mom can pay for the reception and FH's mom can pay for the flowers, photographer, invitations, DJ, etc. However you want to work it out. That way they don't have to agree or disagree with each other....you will be the one making the decisions and they will be paying for it.

Maybe your families can each make contributions and then you go out and spend it as necessary.

I'm sorry you're in this tough situation. I agree that maybe you should assign each of them different things to pay for...or just get X amount of money from each and pay for things at your own discretion.

I agree with Jellybean have them each pay for something seperate so that could be you and one other person deciding instead of 3

I agree with the girls. Maybe assign each mother what you specifically want them to pay for this way theres no bickering.
