in law issues, what would u do

my fiances mother has become more and more outrageous as the wedding gets closer (we are a week away). shes been cying a lot, and is upset that she hasnt been able to make decisions (helllo, its our wedding)she even called him crying because i was supposedly being mean to her (among other things shes done)

i offered a long time ago for her to get her hair and makeup done with us and now i dont want to be in the same room with her? she wants to come in the limo with me and my bm's too
what would u do?

UGH, I hear ya on this one...I say let her...you chose him to be with forever...she is the baggage he comes with. He loves her, you don't have to. If you go along with what she says, she can NEVER hold against you that you were mean to her or that you didnt let her do whatever it is she is asking. It's your day and everyone will know...I know I am gonna have to just suck it up...join my little club. Sorry she's being such a PIA...I think it's part of their job as MIL's hehe Good Luck =)

you could tell her that the hairdresser wants to do the hair/mu for the bp first so the photograher can take pics, so it would a waste of time for her to get there early- tell her to come about one-two hours after you tell your girls to get their hair done so you will all be taking pics while she is getting her hair done....
This way, you seemed concerned for her and don't want her to sit around, doing nothing for two hours (and you get some peace and quiet!)

Ugh! So sorry that you are dealing with a difficult FMIL! Just think though...one more week! On your day, I am sure she will not be crying and carrying so, I bet she will be fine getting her hair and makeup done with you. She's probably just really anxious that her baby boy is getting married and she feels as though she is losing him. I would let her in your limo only if you want. Somethings are overstepping the line...are any parents going to be in the limo with you and your BMs? If not, I would have FH tell her that she cannot come in your limo. HTH! GL!

wow well honestly i would let FH talk to her about the whole limo thing, she doesnt belong in the limo with the bridal party at all! As far as hair and makeup goes, offer one more time and thats all you cant worry about her

That's insane! First of all, she should not be in your limo. Since you have already offered for her to have her hair and m/u done with you I don't think you can tell her she can't now. I would limit as much contact as possible with her for the next week until the wedding. Just hang in there

I would talk to FH and tell him that with how upset she has been you are worried that it may pour over to the wedding day and you dont want that. let him talk to her about what is going on.

well, i basically invited her into the limo, because i felt bad, however her antics are really becoming out of sight. she is treating this like it is only about her side of the family

This is a toughie...I would let her, it is not worth the heartache that she will give you for years to come if you don't...also since you offered the hair/makeup, you really are in a spot if you want to back out...sounds like someone needs some prozac!
