fsil vent... Headache! ugh (kinda long sorry)
my future sister in law is giving me a headache... she and DH's brother are getting married next friday, which is great and all BUT
1.) She scheduled the rehearsal on 3:00 on a Thrusday. I already took a week off for our wedding in July, took a week off to go to Texas for a funeral last week, have the friday of their wedding off, and now I will have to get a half-day off for their rehearsal. I would have to drive half an hour home to change and then drive an hour and a half to their site, so I would only be in my office for about 4 hours that day. DH will also have to take a half-day and isn't happy. Why can't they have the rehearsal at an after-work hour?? I'm sure we are not the only ones that are frustrated. The whole thing makes me feel icky.
2.) Originally (about 6 months ago, really, it was a long time ago) I guess I told her I would use her hair stylist. However now that the time is here, I figured I'd use my own, which is less than half the price of hers, and right by my house, saving me from having to drive 1.5 hrs to get there by 8am to use her hairstylist, which is ridiculously early for me. told her this a week and a half in advance, which is plenty of time. She got mad! I told her sorry and left it at that. The kicker is she had booked with my hairstylist for our wedding in july, and canceled the DAY BEFORE... how can she possible have the nerve to be angry at me for canceling a week and half before?
At least it's almost over...
Re: fsil vent... Headache! ugh (kinda long sorry)
Woof, I'm sorry your FSIL is being such a pill. You can do it, it's almost over! Is she a knottie?
Yeah, that is weird about having the rehearsal at 3 on a Thursday... ours was on a Thursday because our wedding was on a Friday, but the rehearsal started at 6 and the dinner at 7:30.
Just take it in stride and try to remember she is going to be your SIL, so don't sweat too much of the small stiff and try to enjoy it all. Maybe reach out a sisterly hand and help her relax a little and steer her clear of creating unnecessary drama (since you have already been the bride and can offer her great advice
)
Nope she's not a knottie.
I've tried to be helpful, but she is not really open to outside help, I guess.
Our rehearsal was at 6:30 to give people time to get off work too. I guess I am just frustrated about how she didnt consider how her plans might not work for everyone, but gets mad when someone brings up a difficult point.
Oh well.
