Moms and Maids

MOB withdrawn

Apologies if something like this has been posted before... but I just don't know what to do.

My mom is one that I thought would be all over helping me plan my wedding, but she isn't.  Her and my dad aren't in a position financially to help us out, and we don't expect them to as we plan on paying for the wedding ourselves... afterall we live together already and have a child together.  I understand that, as much as they would like to, they just can't help us out.  I think my mom feels bad about that, or feels like she can't give her input because they can't pay.  I have asked her opinion on many things, she was helpful before my dad said they couldn't help but now she is just withdrawn.  I have forever been looking forward to having my mom help me.  Any suggestions on how to approach this?

    I think you need to talk to her.  Tell her that you love her and you don't expect or need her financial support with this wedding, but that what you'd like is to have her be a part of the process and you'd like to get her feedback on things.  She's your mom!  So talk to her :)

    I agree with PPs.  Maybe she feels like she shouldn't be providing input since it's all on your dime and doesn't want to step on toes.

    Yes, tell her how you feel.  I'm sure that, if she knew how much it means to you to have her support and help, she would me more than happy to give it to you.
