IL Annoyances...

1. I finally asked DH WTF was up with guests at our RD (hosted my MIL and FIL) having to pay for their own alcoholic drinks. He said that his parents couldn't afford to. To which I said that is BS because they should have factored it into the budget before adding grandparents and god parents (because price per plate was less than they thought it would be) which added 10 people. Plus MIL asked DH a few months before the wedding if they had to pay for guests' alcoholic drinks, to which DH said yes mom of course you do, you are hosting the event. I know in the end there wasn't anything they could do, I just wish they had budgeted and thought about the RD a little bit more...

 

2. MIL made a lot of statements about our wedding "joining our families together" when I see our wedding as me joining DH's family, him joining mine, and us creating a new family. For some reason she thinks that my parents are her family... DH's family lives 5 hours away from us and since we now live 5 hours away will only visit once a year... When discussing BIL's high school graduation in 2 years he asked if he could invite my family i.e. my parents, sister/BIL, brother, my grandparents and my aunt... to which MIL says well of course they will be invited they are family now... I don't know why this bothers me... but it's just weird and annoying... I can maybe understand my parents... but why would my sister want to go to my BIL's graduation she barely knows him? I would never expect to be invited to my sister's ILs events...

 

Oh well I know it could be worse, and it's a blessing she lives 5 hours away...

Re: IL Annoyances...

  • Just sounds like she is a little over excited =]  I'm sure when the time comes and she hadn't spoken to them in 2 years it won't be an issue.  Better than the opposite, when the in-laws hate each other!

  • Well lucky you that she wants ur family to be her family..Im in the boat of his parents cant stand my mom and stepdad and throw it in my face constantly that they didnt help with anything for the wedding etc etc...its a major issue but ive pretty much thrown it back at their faces that their being seriously stupid and over reacting and grow up and get over it.. DH getting better about it..had a fight about it at my matron of honors house sat night and her and her hubby set him straight and he seriously feels sorry and bad he didnt realize how BAD it was being tossed around....UGH...Just wish they could all get along...*eye roll*
