Hi
just wanted some thoughts on a snag I've hit with my BM. We are having a child-free wedding. My BM has three children under the age of 3. We informed her right away that we weren't having kids at the wedding and she was completely fine with this. They live 2 hrs away and i had made time to drive down to them to go dress shopping and because the store i wanted to go to was 30 mins from her house she didn't want to go. So me and my MOH went together and picked out a dress for them, she put a deposit down. (this was 2 months ago).
I have just now found out with the wedding 2 months away that she tried on the dress but didn't bother putting a deposit on it...?! And now she also tells me that she can't find a babysitter for her 3 kids and is now trying to say that the oldest one will not sleep anywhere alone, only where her mom is....(yeah right!!) it's starting to sound to us like she is trying to get us to give in to her and just say .. "oh fine just bring them anyways".
We are NOT giving in... My FI has called her and told her that if this is not working for her and that it's too much to pay for a dress that she can back out with no hard feelings...but we need to know ASAP. That was 2 weeks ago and she is still putting it off everytime i call her.
does anyone have any other ideas... I don't want to just replace her before i get an answer, but i want her to tell me she doesn't want to do it.
Before i ask someone eles that wants to be there. Just seems like she doesn't even care.
thanks
