African American Weddings

MOH Trippin

I texted my MOH that my mom and I went by the Bridal Shower venue and she texts me back saying, "Why when you do wedding stuff you never tell me. I don't feel like I am doing anything."
I then texted her back that most of the time when we do stuff it's not planned at all to be done so it's not like I can call her ahead of time. My mom seriously has like ADHD and if her brain goes somewhere then that is what we are doing. Most times we just so happen to be out somewhere and my mom's brain starts clicking and things get done right then and there.
She has now been ignoring my texts and I think she is trippin, if she wants to be more involved then call my mom. I gave all the bridesmaids my mom's number so if they think of anything to have questions etc they can call her, its not like she doesn't know my mom, she has known her since we were little kids. She is really just tripping about this situation.

I technically am not supposed to be this involved with the shower since it was planned that my MOH, mom, and Godmother would do this. My mom and Godmother chat everyday and when they get clicking things get done. My mom has already said that my MOH needs to call her if she wants any input and my  mom wants her input. I am involved because I live with my mom and she accepts my input. My mom and I hang out all the time and like I said if something clicks in her brain for the wedding we are going to do it right then and there and there is no time to be waiting on people and such, most times we are already at the store and etc.

I dunno I will wait and see if she actually texts me back. I think she is just being crazy and if she wants to be involved then she needs to make herself involved.

    Is your MOH and your mother friends? If not, it might be uncomfortable for her to call and make herself involved. Some ladies need a little hand holding. I would text her back and ask to  schedule a girlfriend outing. Go have lunch with just the two of you and then do something wedding related. I'm sure she will feel much better.

    I agree that she's trippin. If you gave her your mom's number, then she's grown & should be able to call your mom to provide input, ask questions, etc. Its all up to her.

    However,  she may want to be more involved with wedding preparation stuff and not just the shower. Maybe you could schedule to do something wedding related and have her accompany you. Or invite her over to have her help with DIY stuff & make it a girl's day/ night.

    Between the shower and the wedding it's the same thing. Most of the time things are no where near planned and we are already out and my mom decides to stop in Michaels or another store to get something done.
    We are planning on having a DIY night, but it won't be for a minute. I think she just needs to get over it. When I do plan stuff I always invite her so I dunno, whatevs.

    Stop texting or waiting for her to text you and call her.  So much gets misinterpreted in texts and e-mails.  She feels left out andsounds a little needy.  Talk to her about anything wedding related and she will be back on board in no time.

    I've known her since we were 7 & 8 years old. She isn't one for talking at all. She HATES talking on the phone with a passion, I have made her phone calls for her in the past to make appointments and such. We never talk on the phone. We do all our talking in person, but right now we both have such crazy schedules that we never see one another. We used to spend at least 10 to 15 hours of our weeks together.
    I know her so much, She will get over it and in a few days she will text me with something funny that happend or that someone said and it will be like nothing happend.
    I am more shocked that she even said that. She knows how we work in my family and even though I am a planning freak, nothing is ever planned.
    I'll see in a few days.

    Then there it is! If you invite her, then she's the one with the problem & no need to throw her a pity party. Its up to her to participate. Hope it gets better!

    That's why you should have one person in charge I mean your MOH is your age and your mom and god mother are the same age and they are friends she may feel left out and like she does'nt have a say in anything
