My dear sweet mother and why I have to vent

So I have vented before about my mother and now I must vent some more. Well the past vent was pretty much that my mother feels like she's not involved in the wedding and that everyone else is involved and she's the MOB and she doesn't know anything that's going on. I have asked her to go shopping with me several times but each time the day comes and I get a phone call in the am telling me she doesn't feel well and can't go. (FYI she did the same thing the day of my engagement party) Well Friday we planned to go shopping and she actually didn't cancel this time. So we went out and she tried on dresses and found one she loved so we ordered it. That went well. Then we went to check out headpieces. Well first off she doesn't like the fact that I'm probably going to be wearing my hair down. Then I found a headband that I love and it looks great so I tell the salesperson that I want get this one. My mom starts going on and on about how I should get a tiara. I finally just say I'm getting the headband because that's what I like. So today I get a call from her and she's going on and on about the headband again but this time it's because she doesn't think it would match the dress. OMG she probably doesn't even remember what my dress looks like.

Oh yeah and she doesn't like my invitations because they're purple.

So sorry. That is terrible. What is wrong with purple? Purple and gray are my colors!

Eggplant and lavender are my colors but she thinks invitations should just be white because that's what they we're like when she got married

Thank you sweetie

Oh mothers....

Take a deep breath and don't let her get to you. Stand your ground and don't give in. Your invites are sooo pretty! Purple is the way to go!!

Mom's have a strange way about them. We love them to death, but sometimes they don't know when it's better to say nothing at all. Recently whenever I call my Mom about stuff, for example STD's... she can hear I'm super excited about it, yet finds it ok to tell her she doesn't think I should send them out and it's a waste of money... did I mention I had already purchased everything to make them. LOL
Like I said, gotta love them.
Stay strong, you have us all here and vent away.
BTW your Invites are great!!!

Don't give in to something you don't like. Remember this day is a once in a lifetime......I hope

Hang in there and don't let it stress you too much.

Moms can be a help sometimes. keep them around to always have something to say about the way your doing things wrong. Second, remember this is your wedding, she already had hers( and I bet her mom and mother in law had there say too.) My mother in law has ideas and I listen, I always tell her thanks, and Always tell her Why I like my way. and persuade her to see my point. If not, she can like it or lump it. more then likely she will follow your lead.eventually
Enjoy!!!
