Ok, so I really do get along with FMIL, but sometimes she says things that make me go Here's the situation...........
she just called me and apparently she's looking at my registry, she says 'didn't you originally want the copper bottom pots & pans??', and I was like, yeah but the ones All Clad makes are really expensive. So then she's like 'well I'm looking at the Macy's circular, and they have Emerilware copper bottom pots on sale, can I get you those instead of what you registered for?'. I registered for All Clad Stainless Steel 10 pc set, I know its expensive ($600 something) but its what I picked. The set she's considering I think is 10 pieces and its between $200-$300.
So for me, this isn't about how much it costs, but what about the quality???? Does anyone have an Emerilware set?? Particularly the copper bottom pots? If its good quality (I checked online and it says these are also made by All Clad), then maybe I'll just tell her to get them.
BTW, she also said she might order my Pfaltzgraf set directly through them, instead of through Fortunoff, I have no idea why!! I guess I'll be making some returns if I have duplicates!!!
So, what would you do- let her get the ones she wants to buy us? Or stick to the pots I originally picked?

yeah but those aren't exactly friends in high places lol......besides for the $550 we're paying him, he was already here last Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday & Wednesday, and hopefully tomorrow, so I think we got a lot of work out of him for that amount! I just want him to be done so I can paint already!!! I think we're going w/ a shade called sienna clay for the kitchen and some shade of yellow for the dining room. hey I need a place for all those shower gifts!
