Vent- Mom!
So aside from the fact that I dont ever really see eye to eye with my mother...
About a year ago, she actually learned to use the computer enough to write an email and search a few sites so thats great for her and shes been re-connecting with all this family who she never got to speak to much. The family that I am specifically referring to is her uncle's (my great uncle) kids who are grown adults in their 50s with kids, etc. Now, we are 100% inviting my great uncle, I have been somewhat close with him for my whole life. But his kids and their wives, I have never met, ever. My mother for that matter has not even seen them from before I was born and until she starting using email only spoke to them a few times a year on the phone.
So, she drops the bomb on me today....she goes, you know, Im sure they wouldnt come but do you think you should invite them. So, I go NO!!!! (ehh hemm, me and FH are paying for the whole thing...shes not giving a dime). Then I say, no again but I mean if you've been speaking to them constantly about the wedding, then well I guess I have to. (I know for a fact she does this and I know shes happy and all but come on...think!!!) So, now I obviously dont want to start any problems in the family and if she really has been talking about it all the time, I think its rude to not invite them. I know she says they wont come but there are about 30 people now who are somewhat courtesy invites who we 'think wont come'...Some are bound to show and I just cant afford it!![]()

Oh I had to add this...there are a total of 24!!!!! neighbors that Have to be invited...thats only from 3 houses, they are each huge families with all adults. They all have to be invited because throughout the years when I lived at home, they always invited me to everything (even when I was a kid and then as an adult) even though I was just the kid of my mom who they really had the connection through. I really like some of them but its annoying cuz there are people who I am much closer with like some of my friends parents or some co-workers who I would rather invite but cant cuz of this....In regards to this, they are all from families who I know for a fact all had their parents paying for their weddings. They are alll very wealthy. So, I feel like telling my mom that there is a big difference in me inviting them, then when they invited me and she should have to pay for any of them that show- Im not really gonna say this to her but would it really be insane of me???
