vent. My mom is so selfish.
I'm about to throat punch my own mother. I seriously have myself all keyed up over this, but I'm at work and just need to chill out...so I'm venting to you ladies.
A little back story: my parents have been divorced since I was 10, but they get along reasonably well. As our wedding gift my dad offered to buy us our wedding album and then was super generous and offered to buy everyone else's albums as well (my mom, Ty's mom, my grandma, etc). My uncle (my mom's brother) was our photographer. So my dad sent him a big check and my uncle got to work on making the ablums. Well for some unknown reason I wasn't involved in the ordering process and in fact didn't even realize that they had been ordered until a big box showed up on my doorstep.
My album is lovely, it's large and leather bound and they did a great job. Well it turns out my mom ordered the same exact (expensive) album for herself PLUS one of the smaller hard-bound books that everyone else is getting (she ordered these with the money my dad gave my uncle). PLUS she ordered an album for her best friend. So I asked her what Ty's mom is getting....and she gives me this blank stare. I tell her that my dad offered to pay for Ty's parents album and she says "oh well I never heard that so you'll have to talk to your dad."
So, let me get this straight Selfish Lady: You take my dad's money and order yourself TWO albums, one of which is leather bound a very expensive, (while in the meantime I get ONE), AND you order your stinking best friend an album using my dad's money, and yet you're basically telling me to tell Tyler's parents to eff off and order their own album??
WTF. I'm seriously about to scream my bloody head off at her.
Re: vent. My mom is so selfish.
I can understand why you're sitting at work stewing over this! And I'm baffled over as to why her best friend would want/ need an album of your wedding...not to sound mean or anything...but that's a little odd to me.
And now you're conveniently stuck in the middle...you vent away all you want. I understand the divorced parents thing all so well!!!

WOW! That sounds really selfish! And how many wedding albums does one person need?!
I agree with pps, why would her bff want one? I think that's very odd.
I think you should take one of her albums next time you visit and give it to ILs.
I was questioning the same thing about the BFF....kinda weird to me.
I'd tell your mom either she needs to give up one of her albums OR she can dish out the $$ to pay for the ablum that was supposed to be ordered for Ty's parents.
Not cool at all!
