MIL VENT

I am soooo sick of her now..She has done absolutely nothing in regards to this wedding. She has never asked us about it, what we were doing, or even offered her time or talents. Then there was the list of her co-workers that she HAD to invite as well as the MUST INVITE to my own shower (still NO participation in this process).
Well NOT ONE of her side of the family's relatives are even coming! Not even her lame arse co-workers, ya know the ones that she called repeatedly to be invited...NONE OF THEM ARE COMING!!!!!!
OH and here is the funniest part..NO SHOWER GIFT! She told my FH, 'oh well we will go shopping to get a gift'.
PUHLEEEZE, we will never go shopping with her...just her lame arse excuse to not get off her butt to go buy one!
She has not gotten a dress yet for the wedding and oh hasn't even RSVP'ed to the shower!!! The RSVP date was 2 weeks ago!!!!
And then there is the rehearsal dinner, has not offered to help my FH's dad and step mom out AT ALL!



Ok ....just had to vent
thanks

My MIL has not chipped in a dime. She told FH she expects a limo at her house for 5 people, to drive her around the day of the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Is she kidding me?

wow that sux. my fmil is kind of the same way, she wants this and that and this person to be invited. and i know that its a few yrs off, but all she wants to do is dictate what should happen and not contribute a red cent. just hang in there for a little over a month and try not to stress. just relax and have a , you'll feel better.

whew...at least i am not alone
Mine hasn't contributed to anything either...but i never expected her too! BUT the only time she calls us is to complain about things
why are they like this?????

thanks you are right...i am venting here because i needed an outlet...i cannot yell about it to my FH because he already knows and agrees (he complains about her, himself)
I don't want him to feel any worse than he already does

because they are EVIL!!!! i'm serious, she's like jabba the hut. just sits on her fat arse and doesn't want to do a damn thing!!!!! no, but wait, she keeps telling me that she is going to 'chip in' and 'help us out.' this kind of sh!t pisses me off. b.c i asked my dad if they could help us once, and he said yes, that is that. he gave me a number that i am happy with, and to me, its like a check in my hand, you know. i just can't count on the fil's.

Mine doesn't offer anything...

AND GET THIS....

The reason my FMIL says she hasn't responded to the shower yet (this was a week ago when my FH called to ask her)
She said because she doesn't know how she is getting there !!
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT ONE!

The woman lives out east and WILL NOT drive on any of the major highways
She uses jericho for most of her driving

ok, are we marrying into the same family. my fmil thinks anything east, west, north or south of farmingdale is tooo far for her to drive. and i just don't believe the excuses your fmil comes up with. i told my fh to ask his parents for the same amount of $$ we asked my parents for, thats the only fair way we could do it.

Nah...my FH loves my mom and dad..
The only thing he complains about is when she says she will be there at 5:00, she comes at 4:40 LOLOL
I love my FH's dad and step mom, they have been great and sooo helpful
BUT MY FMIL...JEEZ

hang in there! Mine's crazy too!!
No-ones coming to the shower that can bring her?? Mines doesnt even DRIVE so I know those issues! Hope venting helped

I know it is so frustrating now. Believe me I know. Those of you who were around the site when I was getting married might remember the crap that mine pulled. But I have to tell you that since the wedding I finally have the in-laws that I wanted. They are helpful when we ask, not interfering when we don't. They respect our privacy, but know that they are always welcome!

Sometimes I think people are so selfish they don't realize what they are doing because they are so blinded by their selfishness. I know you are angry and frustrated now, I hope that you will have the opportunity to see what I have seen after your wedding.

I hope that things start to look better soon. If not tell your FMIL- the gift you want from her is a day at the spa, because after dealing with her you deserve it.
