Really not trying to be difficult

Hi Girls! Just want to be clear...I am not trying to be a lunatic with the posts about the parent album. I apparently asked for opinions...on a subject that I feel way too passionately about. I do appreciate everyone's opinion...I guess I'm just not willing to consider it b/c I feel so strongly about it. I think I more needed to vent than anything else. So thanks for listening!

no need to explain yourself! obviously there is a lot more history and background to the story. i know ettiquette can call for so many things but everyone's situation is different. hope everything works out for the best.

Re: Really not trying to be difficult

Hey- I understood. My in laws are getting nada. They gave my FSIL alot of money for her wedding and not a dime to us and I felt very offended (they don't belive in paying for a sons wedding). I am not getting them a parents album and they understood. They get no say in our wedding... I was raised that money talks bull$hit walks. I haven't been rude to them or commented on their lack of monitary contribution but I am not going to be throwing extra gifts their way when they left us high and dry!! I don't care what people think is right and wrong... Weddings are expensive and we work hard.

thats what we are here for. even if you still feel strongly about not giving it to them sometimes its still cool to see what everyone else thinks, even if you arent going to sway. i do the same thing. its nice to get other peoples perspectives.

good luck with whatever decision you make. i hope it doesnt cause you further grief

If you dont think your FILs deserve a parent album (b/c they arent helping to pay) dont get them one! Its your money and your decision- but it def. doesnt make you difficult. There are some wedding decisions there's no way you'll budge on them!
