Family Drama Updates

*Sorry for lack of spaces. iPad posting issue* DH had lunch with his grandparents on Friday. He made it clear that they were in the wrong and had hurt me a great deal. He told them that if they refused to be accepting on me as his wife, they would not be allowed to be part of our lives or welcome in his home. I honestly feel a little guilty that it's all come to this but Matt assures me that it will all be okay. We have to put the two of us as a family first above everyone else. They didn't come to our dinner(AHR)last night, which I take a sign of how they are chosing to progress. At least we have quite a while before we must deal with holidays. Possibly some of the tension will blow over by then. The dinner went well last night. Everyone had fun. We got some very nice gifts, which I hadn't been expecting. I'll work on Thank you's next weekend and get those out. We leave in the morning for our HM. I'll probably still be popping in and out though. We have a long ride and it's supposed to rain a lot so we'll see.

Re: Family Drama Updates

  • I'm glad that Matt stood up for you and told them how he felt.  You should not feel guilty about this.  This is their choice and I think it's good Matt put his foot down.  Unfortunately it doesn't sound like they are going to make an effort.  :(  It is their loss.

    I'm glad the AHR went well.  Enjoy your HM and don't worry about family drama.  You deserve to have a great time! 

  • I'm sorry that's the choice they're making; perhaps they'll come around in time for the holidays.  Have the best time on your HM though and don't give it a second thought!

  • Thanks ladies! Def am excited to get away for a few days. Our hot water heatef went our yesterday and it's not getting fixed till Tuesday so I'm just pumped to take a hot bath tomorrow night lol
  • I'm very sorry that they decided to continue in their negative fashion. I know it must be difficult, despite the amazing support you have from Matt and his parents. Like the other fabulous ladies above me said, hopefully they will come around but if not that is 1000% on them and you should not let it get to you! Have a great honeymoon, and enjoy your hot bath ;0)
  • I am sorry that they acted that way.  But it is fantastic that your hubby stood up for the two of you!  I am sure that wasn't an easy or enjoyable conversation. 

     Enjoy your honeymoon, have a fantastic time! 

  • I am sorry that they decided not to attend the AHR. Hopefully they begin to realize their mistake, but until that day you know you can depend on your amazing husband for support and his parents. I am glad you had fun at your AHR regardless. Enjoy your vaca and don't let this get to you too much!

  • Wow, that is so selfish and rude of them! As everyone else said, I am sorry that they are still acting like this and did not attend your AHR. I really hope they come around, but if not, it's their loss! You and your DH sound like a wonderful team and I am so glad he said what he said to them.

     Glad you enjoyed your AHR and now go enjoy your HM!! Hope it is fantastic and can't wait to hear about it when you get back :)
