Vent FSIL

So, I've tried not to say too much about FI's famly on here, really because there's too much to say. But, as background just know we have had TONS of problems with them. The rest haven't been so much WR, but this one takes the cake of the stuff that is.

Ally (FSIL) asked me over Thanksgiving what I was really stressed out about wedding-wise. I told her that the worst thing at the time was trying to find these specific frames for our memorial table. I don't her all about them, and she volunteered to make them for me.

Over Christmas, we talked about it again, and I even took her some candle holders I bought from Samantha as inspiration. Well, Saturday I had Matt ask her about them, and she said she WOULDN'T HAVE TIME. Excuse me? The wedding is in two weeks and you're telling me this now?

I really try to be very understanding about stuff like this, because I don't like asking people to do things for me, but there are a few reasons why this is extremel irritating. 1) She volunteered to do it! 2) She doesn't work. She has two kids, but she lives with Matt's parents, who watch them all the time. Her ex has them on the weekends too. 3) Last week she was complaining to me how bored she is when her kids aren't there. 4) She really could've let me know sooner, or gotten them done in the next two weeks.

Sorry this is so long, but I am incredibly frustrated. I generally tell people my feelings, but I feel like I should let this slide. Two of my BM's have volunteered to get the frames done for me, which makes me even more mad because they both have full time jobs and have offered to do other things as well!

TIA for listening. Deep Breath.

  • That's very frustrating! I'm sorry. I'm the kind of person who would let it slide and not say anything, and often times that is even more frustrating. How inconsiderate of her to not say anything until now. Grrrr!

    At least your friends are coming through for you!
  • That's just plain crappy on her part. I'm really sorry she's being such a B. I would probably let it slide, but have a lot of pent up anger.....that's just me. Sounds like you have great friends who are willing to step up though!!

  • I don't what you should do.  Obviously she's a real jack ass and completely irresponsible.  I know that not only from what she did to you but she doesn't work and lives with her parents.  Just out of curiosity, how old are her children?
  • Sounds like she is a selfish biotch.  Forget her and at the party BRAG BRAG BRAG about how lovely your frames are that your girls volunteered to complete for you!!

  • That was super sh!ty of her, but at least you have awesome friends who came thru for you when you needed them.  I would probably let it slide to avoid any drama/ conflict so close to your big day. 


    I am with Jenni, why is she living with her parents and not working?

  • Her kids are 1 and 3. I also already preurbed this night because the 3 year old (who is not even beginning to potty train) had an extremely dirty diaper and she just left to watch movies with her friend. FMIL changed the diaper and didn't seem to mind, but I was mad for her!

    Those big boy diapers will do a number on you!
  • Oh god.  I agree this was a TERRIBLE thing for her to do.  I'm with you - I wouldn't complain to keep the peace, but those things do just really irritate and add up don't they?  Obviously the fact that you have such amazing bridesmaids says something about you and your friendship - keep that in mind as you want to slap her in the face.  I agree.  One well placed comment on how your bridemsaids volunteered to make them last minute and how gorgeous they are might be appropriate :)
