Anyone else had nbad ones or have a really nasty mother in law to be? My OH told her 2 tuesdays ago that we'd got engaged.

Anyone else had nbad ones or have a really nasty mother in law to be? My OH told her 2 tuesdays ago that we'd got engaged. Hr words were - did you buy her a diamond ring and he said yes and she said 'Well diamonds aren't forever you know'!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already knew she can't stand me (by not once inviting me round or asking to meet - I've invited her loads and she has come but only coz she can't resist the food and seeing her little boy!) - however how RUDE is that?

Needless to say we've still not received a card - am looking forwards to her reaction when he invites her to our engagement do!!!

    OH asked my Dad's permission on Christmas Day (I had no idea) and apparently he said "well yes, but you know she'll probably say no, don't you?" (I've been married before and in the past have said never again!"

    I told my parents when he proposed at the end of January and Mum just said "ah, right" and then both parents changed the subject!! I was so upset - I had been dithering about whether to accept the proposal and was after some encouragement. I realise now that they were waiting for me to give my answer before reacting, but at the time it upset me and felt like no support!

    My parents were fab- we got engaged on holiday and called home to tell them (they already knew as mrmini had asked permission) and met us at the airport on the way home with champagne etc etc.

    MrMinis mums sent a card...that was all and MrMinis dad (they are seperated) diddnt acknowledge the fact at all. He refused to come to our engagement party and is still deciding if he will come to the wedding....he actually asked me if I would consdier not marrying his son and that he "would rather we just lived together or something...."

    Twunt.
