Okay, SO my mom is notorious for being the biggest pain in the you know what when it comes to weddings, showers, birthdays...basically events of any kind ESPECIALLY if they are not being thrown for her!! She has not been involved in my wedding planning at all, isn't happy for me and really couldn't care less...FINE! but now she's being ridiculous. FMIL (who i love to death) wants to buy her dress...like now, but feels bad making a decision until my mother does (apparently it's some wedding etiquette?). Because it's a Sunday afternoon they both tossed around the ideas of a less formal tea length gown and FMIL doesn't want to get a long if my mom gets short or vice versa...so of course my mom won't give an answer and won't tell anyone anything and is like hmm I don't know what I'm doing! HOW DOES SHE NOT KNOW..THE WEDDING IS 2 MONTHS AWAY!!!! and today..to top it off..I tell her (which I have been telling her for weeks) that I need to finalized list with addresses by tomorrow so that I can type it up and give it to the printer on Friday...she's like I'll have to see! *** OMG I'm going to kill her!!!! She's driving me crazy and stressing me out! I have tried to remain calm..especially because of the baby and stuff, but come on people...this woman is NUTS!! what should i DO????
(ps these are just 2 of the many, many things she's been pulling with me)

Re: my mother is being the biggest PAIN! Long SORRY
Im so sorry you are haveing so many problems with your mom ...mine can be a huge pain too! I would tell FMIL just to get what ever dress she loves and so be it...she cant wait forever for your mom to make a choice ...she tried to do the right thing. as far as the addresses I would tell her if you dont have them asap those people arent going to be invited!

I would be honest and tell her my mil wants to go get her dress but we want you to have preference of color and style so do you want me to help you go shopping or should i just tell you that you dont mind and she can wear whatever she wants. id say it like that. good luck!!!

Moms can s u c k. I'd just tell her that if there's no list they wont get invites end of story. as far as the dress goes... let your FMIL get her dress... i mean tell your mom she has till the end of the week or else your FMIL gets to pick her dress and that's that.

That is so frustrating. I def think it would be a good idea to tell her to choose, and if she doesn't then say something like, well if you don't want to choose I guess you are comfortable with whatever FMIL wants to wear. She shouldn't be stressing you out - especially with a baby on the way!

Parents just don't understand! I'm sorry you're stressing sweatie...you need to tell your mom to choose a dress or she's just going to have to be ook with whatever FMIL chooses.

I am so sorry. Everything will get done in time. The last few months are very stressful. Hopefully she will give them to you so you don't have to stress anymore.
