i need to vent... (long winded but sorry, i gotta do it)
so, i KNOW that i shouldn't be letting the petty thing get to me and i just have to let it roll off my back, and i will, i promise. but first, i need to vent...
we went to FH's parents house today to do their side of the seating chart... or I did it with FMIL while FFIL and FH watched football  IF I HAVE TO HEAR ONE MORE TIME HOW FMIL DOESN'T WANT TO DO THE MOTHER/SON DANCE I AM GOING TO SCREEEEEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all she talks about is how she wants to twist her ankle to get out of it, and she's trying to come up with a way... HARDY HAR HAR. she cracks up, meanwhile i just want to slap her across the face. she has one freakin' child, can't she just put a blasted smile on her face and do the dance without giving me grief?!  then she goes on to tell us, that they won't be attending the rehearsal. they'll just meet us at the restaurant for the dinner. okay, it's fine, i guess... they just have to walk down the aisle, they don't need to practice - they're first, end of story, but i just feel kind of insulted. like a)what else do you have to do? they sit home all day, every day. and b)it's your son and FDIL's wedding rehearsal. shouldn't you WANT to be there?! whatever. THEN, she starts going on and on about how she wants all these pictures of the family, done by the photographer. i'm saying "okay, yes, sure" but in my head i'm like, why would we want pictures of people who FH hasn't met in 26 years of his exsistence, in our wedding album? bring a freakin' camera and take them yourself. lol
so then i come home and get an email from my sister-in-law... who has been giving me grief since DAY ONE. her husband (my brother) and their 2 kids are in the BP. i had told her numerous times that my bro, and niece and nephew had to go in the limo from my parents house to the church, but if they'd rather go in her car to the reception, that's fine. just as long as they went straight there, because we are pressed for time with pictures. well, now she wants to know if it'd be okay if they stopped home to let the dog out. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO if you need to let the dog out, go home and do it - they can then go in the limo. because as i said, 12 times - they have to go STRAIGHT from the church to RH because we are PRESSED for time!!!!! oh, and she'll "try" to get them to my parents on time that morning. you'll try? you're an adult. DO IT. okay, vent over. thank you for listening.

Re: i need to vent... (long winded but sorry, i gotta do it)
OMG I am so sorry to hear that. First of all, I am an only child and I think my father is just excited about our wedding as we are. I can't imagine him not wanting to dance with me. That is odd that your FMIL doesn't want to dance with your FH. Also, they are not going to the rehearsal? That is crazy too! What else are they going to do? Do they have better plans? Come on now. That's nuts. Well hang in there!

I am sorry that you have to deal with that. That is not fair that people are putting you through this much stress. Why does'nt FMIL want to dance with her son. i have never heard of such nonsense.

Re: i need to vent... (long winded but sorry, i gotta do it)
if it makes u feel any better FMIL gave me the line too about having pics of the family taken by MY photographer. i'm going to my CH so come 6:30 and all her pics aren't taken, too bad she can still take them but I won't be in any of them.

FMIL doesn't want to dance with her only son at my wedding either. Ya know what - she'll have to live with that decision for the rest of her life. End of argument, end of discussion etc. My father is gone, so I will be dancing with all three of my siblings following the cake cutting, and then the dance floor will open up for everyone.

Re: i need to vent... (long winded but sorry, i gotta do it)
i know exactly how you feel. when we told FH mom about the engagement party. she said "do i have to buy a present because we cant afford this"... btw they arent contributing a dime to the wedding...
She was also surprised that she would be walking down the aisle during the ceremony. she has no idea about what goes into a wedding nor what wedding etequette is nor what to do or wear to a wedding.
am i pissed that she is so ignorant and cheap.... YES... but at this point i dont give a poop if she wears a potatoe sack to the wedding because its my day and no one will be looking at her anyway... lol
