Hi all,

Like many of us (I'm sure), I am going through some pretty nasty parent/ in-law drama these days. Rather than vent and re-live the anger, I thought it might be helpful if we all shared our best coping mechanisms for when things get rough...

Mine: Yoga and trying to put yourself in his/her shoes.

she sounds like an 'attention seeker' it's really up to FH to talk to her and hopefully put her in her place!

She thinks this wedding is like 'the mother of the groom showcase!'.
There is no talking to this woman. The best we can do is keep her out of the planning process, yes her to death and go 'that's a good idea, we'll think about that' her to death.

She actually told us this Salsa song that she wants our DJ to play because she's going to have this whole dance routine worked out. She plans on taking over the dance floor John Travolta style or something... so FH & I decided there will be no Salsa at the reception. She don't like it.... it's not her wedding.
