She asked me about these stupid asss cousins bringing their little rat children to the wedding and I said no, the kids are FH's 4th cousins and we don't even know them. I didn't even invite 6 of my semi-close 2nd cousins because the guestlist was exploding.
So FH and I get this email yesterday: Hi Becca and Stephen, I wanted to revise my response. (FMIL) called and said it was ok to bring children. 4 of us will be attending the ceremony at the church and 2 of us (Annie and my daughter Caitryn) will be attending the reception. I'm so sorry for the confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions. Many thanks and looking forward to seeing you on your big day!
Granted, it's just 2 of them coming to the RH and they're bringing home their dumbasss newborn, so that's not so bad, but I just said to the Mom, 'I'm glad you asked me, I said no and you still told them it was ok.' She laughs (b/c that's all she does) and she's like ohhh b/c FFIL only has 5 family members here (most are in Greece - only 2 are coming from overseas) and I'm like what about all your friends?! You take up most of the guestlist! She's like 'clients.' I'm like they're still YOUR guests.
There was more, but i'm effin pissssed. She's so effing annoying. She doesn't get that even if they're clients, they're still ON HER EFFING SIDE!

Re: I was just so nasty to FMIL
That's extremely rude of her to ask you and then ignore your answer. So sorry you have to deal with that.
the cousin seemed extremely nice about everything in her email

Re: I was just so nasty to FMIL
I envy those people who love and get along with their in-laws! I can't even explain how much I feel your pain Becca! FM me if you want to talk more about it and vent away (slow day at work). I'll tell you right now though I have an typical Italian mother-in-law who called me once after DH and I got in a fight so she could 'clarify his side of the story'. AND we gave them 100 people to invite and they invited 105, no biggie, and then only 50 showed up! They didn't tell us or call anyone until a week before the wedding so we couldn't invite more people! UGH! Ok, I'll stop but I feel your pain!

She did and i'm glad it's just her and her daughter coming, but on the RSVP card it said, 'So sorry, but we can't find a sitter!'
I got it last week, you really can't find a sitter a month in advance? Did you try? I know it's tough with kids, but A MONTH!

Re: I was just so nasty to FMIL
Not sure what's up with the FMIL's hijacking the guest list. I really do believe they think it's their second wedding. Sorry thats happening to you.

Re: I was just so nasty to FMIL
Why the hell does she need all her clients there anyway? 4th cousin? Really?
Sorry you're dealing with this.
