Re: So irritated with FMIL

One question. Is he an only son and/or only child? That might be your answer right there.

Re: So irritated with FMIL

well she could have told you that before you ordered it! grrr those parent albums cost a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ not to mention most parents LOVE showing them off. If she doesn't want it I say give it to someone who will appreciate it!

Re: So irritated with FMIL

He is the only son and a twin. There is only hm, and his sister. I am still going to give her an albumn because I know she will want one when she sees that my parents are getting one

Word of advice. Mothers do not like losing their only sons. They can't handle the competition. Mine is afraid she will lose her work horse because her princess daughters do nothing to contribute to the household. Good luck and if you need a supprot group, I may start one.

sounds familiar. FH does everything in the house and his sister sits on her thrown. But I do think she is having trouble letting him go, especially since he and his sister came in a package being that they are twins. its like im breaking up the pair.

Re: So irritated with FMIL

FH's mother and sisters get on his case for everything. We dont live together now but we are moving in together on September 1. I told FH that he is not to be cleaning their house when he doesn't live there. He can clean the gutters twice a year but his loyalties and priorities are to HIS home. When I left home, guess what? My mom got a housekeeper. I do not clean her house. None of her kids do. We help with doctor appointments, organizing her paperwork and finances. If they want a big house, they better be prepared to clean it themselves. Sorry if I sound bitc*y but all too often guys don't say 'no' to their mommies and thats where strife begins.

Re: So irritated with FMIL

My FH does ANYTHING for his parents that they ask for..and meanwhile my FSIL (in a better financial situation) gets all the presents, money.. the great wedding and they refused to help pay for ours. I didn't realize just how different they were treated until we got engaged.

Re: So irritated with FMIL

wow i never heard of such a thing. no album, my fh 's mom cant wait to get one... i am very close with her though. give her an album anyway, maybe she does not want to pay for it.

Re: So irritated with FMIL

If FH and I pay for the photography, we will give it to both sides as a gift. If my mother pays for photography, I cannot expect my mother to pay for HIS mother's album when my family is paying for the whole wedding. They can fork over a couple hundred - its only fair.

Re: So irritated with FMIL

My FH's Family is like that too..The father asked if he had to stay the whole time at the wedding and does not want to attend the rehersal dinner...CAN YOU IMAGINE????
FH's family is really weird and the best word to descibe them is like 'white trash' I hate to even type such a thing but even FH has said that his family is weird and not normal.
His sister did not even want to be in the wedding because she does not lke people looking at her HELLO??
Hopefully they will be looking at me
We promised her that after the announcements are made she does not have to dance and then his family said they don't want to dance at the wedding...And I am marrying him because?????
He is actually the blacksheep of the family all his other siblings live at home...one is almost 40 years old and the other is 27 and does not work. I could write a book on inlaws already.
Sorry about the vent on mine...
Good luck with yours..that is cruel and hurtful and sorry but as you can see FIL's can be so uncaring and hurtful.
sorry

So fh and I went uostate to his house this weekend and I metioned something about the video. He says 'why do we need 3 dvd's??' So I answer 'one for us and 2 for our parents'....he replies 'well we dont even have to give my parents a video. My mom already said she dosent want a photo albumn'.. I was like 'WHAT??!!??'...how could she say she dosent want an albumn. He says 'she says she only wants a few pictures'. Maybe Im being over-sensitive, but that comment bothered me so much. How do you say you DONT want an albumn of you son's wedding!!!! Geez!!!

JUST VENTING....

maybe she is sad shes losing her son

Re: So irritated with FMIL

My parents and my FH's told me to not get them an album. We are getting all the prints and will make a small set for them afterwards. I am totally fine with that, so I don't think it's wierd. It's practical and they still get pics.
