I love my mother in law, she is fun, and VERY outspoken. I must say though, sometimes the things she say get to me. I am so excited to be marrying her son, and can't wait til July next year to make it official, but I am bothered by the fact that she never has anything nice to say about the wedding.
She loves me, and we get along good, but anytime we talk about trying to get addresses from their side of the family she goes into " I don't know why ya'll having ya'll wedding there, you should have done it at a hall, ya'll gone have a lot of family members mad, its sad that ya'll doing it like that." It kills me when she says that because we are having it at a place where EVERYTHING is included for 150 people and my parents are paying for it. If she wanted 50 to 100 more people she could have that, if she pays for their portion, but to say she is not putting a dime into it, she always has something to say about how every family member even those my fiance doesn't know needing to be there, and I'm like no they shouldn't. She even said that's gone cause ya'll to have a whole lot of people showing up, and Im like it shouldn't happen unless you tell every family member where it is ughhh... It bothers me to know end.
When we first got engaged she was trying to push the JOP on us just because her and all her other kids did it that way, but I'm like that's not me and I will never do that. She is very controlling when it comes to her sons, and especially my fiance, he is breaking away from that, but it feels like it is going to be an uphill battle for him to tell her no and for her to let it go that we are doing it how we want.
