Run in with FMIL...kind of long**I HAVE AN UPDATE***

Ok girls so FMIL and I had our first major run in last night at a Church dinner no less. So let me give you some background:

Last Thursday FMIL called our house at 6:10 in the morning. That is right folks 6:10AM!! Now FH was up getting ready for work but I get to sleep till 7 since I don't need to be at work till 8:30. So I sent her a text message, just asking that she not call the house that early unless it is an emergency and that if she needs FH before he goes to work, to please call his cell and not our house.

So now fast forward to last night. We are sitting in Church eating dinner and she says to me with tons of attitude 'Well Princess are you still angry with me' I am like what are you talking about (assuming it couldn't have been about the text since that was A WEEK AGO! So she says 'Well I got your lovely lil text and frankly I was angry with you over that'. So my response is well I am sorry you were angry. It wasn't meant to be nasty, just a request to please not do that again unless it is an emergency. I explained that we leave the hand set to our portable home phone on the night stand in case of emergency and so it was ringing in my ear, while FH was in the kitchen fixing his lunch for work. He had to run into the bedroom to grab the phone and he also expressed to her how inappropriate it was that she called that early in the morning.

So she called to ask FH a BANKING QUESTION. AT 6AM!! Ok first off the bank doesn't even open till 8:30 and they are open till 4pm so why again would you feel the need to call at such an ungodly hour?!?!??! At this point I am getting ticked off cuz I feel she is being really unnecessarily snotty and she is choosing to do this in front of everyone at church.

So in a nut shell my question is how can she possibly be angry at me?!?! I have thought about it a lil and if the situation were reverse and my Mom had done this (Which she would never do cuz she has some regard and respect for others unlike FMIL), I would have told my Mom that it was too early and to not call again that early. But if FH had told my Mom that my Mom probably would have been angry with him as well. So my general feeling is I probably should have just let it be something between FH and his mom, but I was irritated and I was the one woken up. Anyway this is my rant and she really aggravated me! LOL

Ok end of story...thanks for listening/ready!



**********************************************************
UPDATE: So FH talked to FMIL yesterday afternoon and totally stood up for me and FMIL went on to explain that made my text made her cry all day! ***??? All I said was in the future, can you please...GEEZ LOUISE! I thought I was supposed to be the one causing drama! Good Lord!!! Anyways so last night she called to apologize and apparently FH didn't tell her to do that. So that was nice. I told her that I think the WHOLE situation has gotten blown way out of proportion and now that we have both said our apologies we can just get past it. WOW seriously, some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be annoyed too. Next time just tell FH to handle it.

OH FMIL's.... Must love them!!! LOL! There is no logical reason for her to be angry but we all now many FMIL's are far from logical. LOL! I don't know what you can do in this situation. I would not bring it up again. You explained yourself and got your message across and thats that. If she wants to pout and be angry ... then let her. Its her issue... I would not let it bother you if at all possible. As for in the future I think its best to let FH be the one to do the battling with FMIL's. They will always forgive their beloved sons.... you know???

But in this case I would have been pissed to and done the same thing...LOL!

Good luck!! I am sure it will blow over... I hope!!!

I would have been annoyed too! But I would have told FH to say something to her. JMO. But in the same sense it was early and i think i would have been a little to'd enough to text something as well! that's a tough one!

Wow- I would be PO'd if mine did that. Mother in Laws have a knack of doing things that they think is right and that we shouldn't say anything in defense to it. She should understand why you are upset. Maybe she found the text a bit harsh- I don't know. When my FMIL pisses me off, I have FH take care of it. He usually takes care of these things without me having to ask. So sometimes, when we handle things ourselves to stand up to the monster in laws, it makes us look bad to them so I let FH do the dirty work.

Thanks girls! I think you are all right! I guess I just couldn't help myself. I should have just let what FH said to her be sufficient but I was in the moment and let it get the better of me. I am gonna let this die and not bring it up again. I explained myself and well if she is still angry that is fine, I am sure she will get over herself eventually LOL!

Thanks for all your great advice!

He wasn't at the dinner he was home sick, so he didn't witness the convo, but he has already said that he is going to call her today and have a nice lil chat with her! GO FH!!!

Understandable I would have been annoyed anyway. Even if she was mad she should not have done it in front of everyone. What can you do.

I would be annoyed with her too but I would have let my FH handle it to prevent this.

Re: Run in with FMIL...kind of long

yeah, I would just let him handle it .. from now on ... you there are so many times that you just have to bite your tonuge, its better for him to deal with his parents and you yours until your married.

Hmm, tough one. But at least she is addressing you by your proper title . . . . you ARE the Princess (all brides are) and then, when you marry her son, you'll be his Queen.
