She treats us like we're 3 year olds and can't be trusted to wipe our own bottoms let alone handle our own finances. Yes, I get that we're living under her roof, but that's at her insistence, and is temporary arrangement until we can find a suitable rental or a property that's under our maximum loan amount.
We're planning a trip to see my family (and get FI to his incredibly important doctors appointment), but she's making it known that she's not happy about us going for a week instead of just two days like we usually do. Apparently it's more expensive if we go for a whole week. Which is ridiculous, because we're staying with my family for the entire duration, and the fuel costs the same whether we go for a day, a month, or a year!
She keeps making pointed remarks about us moving out, but every time I mention going to view a place, or mention a listing that I think is promising, she finds something negative to say about it.
When FI told her we'd gotten engaged she just rolled her eyes and said "Well, if that's what you wanna do..."
I know that I'm not who she had in mind for her son. I know she wants more for him, and if I was her I probably would to, but he chose me and that should be enough for her, shouldn't it?
She complains to me that FI doesn't talk to her and tell her things, but she is so ridiculously judgemental and critical of every little thing, that it's really no wonder he doesn't talk to her. Honestly, it's no wonder that I had to beg him to move here, despite it being the single most beautiful place in the whole country.
I'm sitting here in tears, because no matter what I do, I'm always wrong. I've tried to involve her in the wedding planning, and she just isn't interested, but if I leave her out of the wedding planning then she'll throw a hissy about it.
Anyway, please ignore me. I just really needed to get this out, and I don't have anywhere else to say it.
