My Mother and Sister are control freaks and have been at each other's throats from the moment I got engaged. The are always arguing about my shower (mind you at least 6-8 months away) and buying me stuff. I can't take the fighting! My Sis (MOH) lives in Chicago and feels that my mother doesn't include her in anything. The cause of the big blow up today, is my mother told my sister she purchased my china last night. OH BOY! My sister got crazed because she wanted to do it with my brother....blah, blah, blah. Too much drama over stupid stuff. They fight on the phone hang up and both start calling me to complain about the other one. The best is my mother calls me bridezilla! I think my mother is momzilla and my sister is siszilla. They fight and I have to listen to them complain about each other. Anyone else have similiar issues? It is so annoying that I hate to see their numbers on my caller id.

Re: Mother and Sister Drama
this is a weird situation to be in, mostly ppl's problem is that their close ones dont want anything to do with the wedding, ur problem is the exact opposite. interesting did u tell them to relax? and not to go crazy over this, cause they lose sight of whats important - being there for u and having this great family happy moment.
I see ur sister's point. being away from the family she still wants to participate as if she is close to u guys, I guess she feels that she is being snubbed away just b/c of the distance. I feel sometimes the same with my family being all the way in Israel and them telling me some things months after - hurts my feelings. so I think ur sis feels similar
hope they stop fighting

Re: Mother and Sister Drama
I am sorry you have to put up with this. maybe try sitting each down separatly and telling them that them fighting is putting a stress on you during this happy time maybe that will make them step back a little

Re: Mother and Sister Drama
Thanks Ladies!
I have tried to tell both of them that they are making a big deal out of nothing. There is no reason for them to get crazy and start arguing over dumb things. My mother is all upset my sister is not speaking to her and my sister is calling my mother Marie Barrone from Everybody Loves Raymond. As of this evening they are both not speaking and hope that this all blows over in a day or two.

Re: Mother and Sister Drama
Funny how weddings can bring out the best and worst... just be very flattered that they both have your best interest at heart....If you really cannot take it, you may want to mention, in a very nice and concerned way, that you don't know if you can handle the stress from them complaining...or better yet, ask your FH to kinda off handedly mention how sick you are over the fighting...
