Sorry I have to vent

Ok so Fh had not talked to his dad since we got engaged. Ffil told Fh that us getting engaged was an inconvenience because ffil was about to divorce his second wife. We sat back and didn't call and waited for him to call us. Well over a year and no call. Finally fh calls him and he sounded excited about the wedding. So it looks like he is coming. Which is fine because it makes Fh happy that his dad wanted to see us get married. So here comes the vent:
I told my mom that ffil is coming and will need to be seated on our side since him and fmil have not spoken in 20 years. She says 'well I don't know where we are going to put him' . I said it is Fh's dad and we will find a place to put him. She goes 'well he is not sitting at my table with me and I have the first 3 tables filled with my family and friends'.
Meanwhile 'my side' of the guest list is about 90 people of which 10 are my friends, 25 are my family and the rest are my moms cousins (who are practically strangers to me) and her friends from work. Oh yeah and my dads brother who I said has to sit at the head table (that was the first seating fight). I am close with him and he is my fathers only family.
Ok so ffil may not be the best person in the world but he is still Fh's father. Fh says just let her do the seating chart, smile and nod and then go home and we can redo it how we want. But then I will never hear the end of it after the wedding. I am so sick of all this crap and just want this wedding over with. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ok I'm done. sorry for the long vent but I am just so freaking mad right now.

ETA: oh yeah and we haven't even mailed out the invites yet and we are already fighting about the seating.

i agree with your FH...smile and nod...then do what you want! on the big day, she'll look silly trying to argue with you over seating...and you can just say 'Its OUR day, get over it'

thanks ladies. I am feeling much better now. Fh is tired of hearing me complain about my mother and told me to just stop talking to her. But she's my mom I have to talk to her. I am going to go the smile and nod route. After the wedding there will be something else to fight about and she will forget all about the tables. Thanks again for the support.
