Momzillas

Any advice on how to deal with Mom-Zillas.... my mother is completely out of control... With everything... I have actually reached the point where I can't even talk to her. I was hoping that this wedding would have brought us closer but it's doing the opposite and I can't take talk to her anymore about anything. Part of that comes from just being so aggravated with her. I don't know what to do or how I can survive 9 more months of this. FH and I were looking at houses in the same town as my parents so we can have them close by however I think it would turn into an all our fiasco! So not only is this making wedding planning crazy but now we are heading back to square one with house hunting!!! Ugh- rant over! :)

you have FM

The only thing left to do is not answer her calls and don't include her any further.

It's been kinda rough with my mom too. She is a little too opinionated and seems to forget that it's my wedding. I just bite my tongue and ignore her comments because I try to remind myself that she's just as excited as we are. FMIL has also been a problem because she is too old school and everything we tell her is WAYYYYY to expensive. She is also too practical and that's even more annoying! Like we are putting fresh flowers on our cake and she is so upset because I'm allergic! If I'm ok with it then GET OVER IT!!

haha I totally get what you mean. I've been drinking much more since we've been wedding planning!

Hahahha I definitely agree lol loving my wine lately! :) I try and be mindful that my mother does have the best of intentions and this is the most exciting thing she has ever looked forward to and I know I couldn't live with myself if I cut her off. Her mother died when she was 36 so I know she looks for that mother daughter relationship and she isn't close to her sisters. We also have a lot going on family wise with my dad's mother but it's still all stressful to me. I just am ready to get married!

My mom has been giving me a lot of issues too. She went from whatever you want, to having an opinion about EVERYTHING. It upsets me because I feel like she's been fighting me on the smallest details, like wearing a corsage, but after I sat her down and got to the root of the problem, I understood her a little more, and I'm trying to just let her talk and not take it so personally anymore.

If talking doesn't work, I'd get yourself a nice case of wine

I'm so glad to hear other people are having mom issues. We have a wedding related argument weekly. I don't let them get to me as much these days but her little comments are KILLING ME!! From day 1 she's been comparing what I choose to my sisters weddings which were 8 & 10 years ago. 'why didnt you choose this DJ' 'but this florist did great work with your sisters' 'but your sisters had ___ for favors.'

OMG Thank God I found this thread-my mom is/was a single mom and so I am dancing with her and my sister at our reception. She does not like the song I picked and the fact that I am also dancing with my sister, she told me it was disrespectful and actually yelled at me during a wake about this!!! She also keeps telling me how everyone needs to sit, I told her 100 times just give the people you want to sit with-but keeps texting calling OMG she is OCC. She is adding so much stress-she is walking me down the aisle but also threatens me that she won't do that either. I can't even have a normal convo with her or she just says I'm not getting up to dance!!
