I need to get some stuff off my chest - anonymously - so please bear with me!!
My daughter's future MIL has always been hard work and there is no love lost between them. She wasn't interested in the wedding from the start and when we said she could have 30 spaces for the day she told us she only needed 10 and after weeks and weeks of asking reluctantly gave me some names - now with the deadline a week gone and the wedding in a few weeks time she is complaining that the guest list is too one-sided wants to keep adding people! We've filled the gaps with people we (daughter, future SIL, me and husband) like - too late!!
Over Christmas she informed my daughter and her fiancé that the whole thing was a farce, that they weren't in love and that she should take off the ring and they should start all over again. She said that neither she nor her husband would be attending. A week later she's telling me about her outfit!
They have never offered to contribute to the wedding but I've had several phone calls complaining that they weren't being involved. That's because my daughter is fed up with negative comments re anything she mentions. I try to be calm, patient and diplomatic but at the weekend she really got to me. My husband went to pay the florist and was told that the account had been settled anonymously. Of course, when pushed, future SIL says that his mother has paid and has also paid for the photographer but that she wanted to keep it secret!!! What the .....?
Things haven't been easy for her over the last year or so but we've also had a difficult time for various reasons and it's just no excuse for acting like a nut-job! Rant Over and feeling better now!!
