Arghhh mothers drive you mad!

Haha, you've not been reading many posts, huh? By the looks of this forum a lot of mothers do this, just stick to your guns and it'll be fine

Oh dear.. how have you left it with the cupcakes? from the veil comment i wouldn't be surprised if she just makes them anyway

eeek difficult how did you react to the veil?

Im involving my mum too and also want to invlove Mil2b but i do worry that they too will turn into mumzillas.

Went up this morning to drop my son off and she didnt say a word so its obviously still an issue! Argh, shes so annoying one minute and then great the next

My dress doesnt suit a veil and i dont want one, end of, but to say i dont look like a "proper bride" really got to me so i stormed out last night on her

My Mother inlaw isnt interested in the wedding at all and has never even asked to help, i like it that way ;-)

No that was a bit mean but sometimes they say things with out thinking. my mum does it all the time. i do it even now to my daughter i say something then after think bloody hell couldve said it better.

My thoughts exactly. My advice would be do my own thing and ignore her.

No offence but your post makes you sound a bit of a princess. Your mum is making your wedding cake and bought you a veil and you're complaining? Many brides don't have mums or if they do they aren't able to help or just don't want to.

Thank you i-go-by-many-names but my post was just a rant about mothers and people who feel the stress from mums who are trying to help, nothing "princess" about that.

I feel your pain i showed my mum a pic of my hair trial yesterday and she said its a bit plain isnt it. lol!

Aw! I understand the need to rant! Been reading the posts on here for some time now and most mums do not seem to realise who's special day this is!

Then again...maybe it's not just us who's been dreaming about this day since we were little girls...

Let her have the cupcakes, try to ignore anything that sounds insensitive - it's normal behaviour from mothers, (I have to keep remembering not to ask mine for her opinion on anything!), say thanks for the veil then have a pic or 2 with it in, take it out at the last minute and forget to bring it to the ceremony She's just excited, bless her

Yeah tealised I am no fighting with my mum over stupid things. Weddings defo do silly things to people.

I've let her have her cupcakes, makes her happy but had to draw the line at the veil, managed to talk her round lol x

I clashed with my mum about a few ideas she had that I wasn't keen on. Then I gave her the task of investigating making my bouquet and now she's perfectly happy doing that. It's oft-repeated advice on here but giving them something to do so they feel involved really does seem to work.
