I had my little
rant (clicky) a few days ago about FFIL. Well last night was the straw that broke the camels back. I had a total melt down last night, crying, screaming, swearing like a pirate. This might get a little long...
Yesterday was my bosses sons birthday. He's going on a youth duck hunt this weekend, and my FFIL makes calls for hunting. We decided it would be cool to get him a duck call. FI and I went over last night to pick it up from the house and the first thing out of his mouth when we walk in is, "Do I really have to get a hair cut?!" I told him to do what he wanted, it's his hair. IDC. FMIL wants him to. They start arguing and he starts bitching that she's telling him what to do. IDC, I just need the duck call so I can go home. I interrupt the arguing to get the call and shut him up. Then I get home and FI's aunt calls. His cousin is worried that the sash that WE paid for, for the girls to wear is orange. She doesn't want to wear orange. That was it. I lost it. I told her no it's truffle brown and hung up.
THEN FFIL calls and asks why we left so early. He had it out with his dad over the phone for a good 20 minutes.
I've had it with everyone. My girls can't get along to save their own damn lives. They argue about everything. My MOH is a total b itch lately and I haven't even had a conversation with her in weeks. I was asked what I wanted to do for the Bachlorette party; my only stipulation was it had to be something everyone of the girls could do, we have two under 21 and a pregnant girl. Someone mentioned pedicures and dinner and I thought it sounded great. People started bitching I was asking them to spend too much money. If you can't afford the $35 pedicure, then you don't have to have one, just come hang out with everyone, or don't go, it doesn't matter, it's not required. MOH wanted to go out drinking or go on a wine tour. That'd be fine, but I wanted everyone to be able to go and have fun. The two underage girls and pregnant BM can't do that. But MOH wanted/needs to go on a wine tour. She wouldn't drop it. So, why did you even ask me what I wanted to do, if it's all about you anyways?? My sister has been trying to plan this for months, but no one can get along, long enough to pick something.
I have been
very laid back about everything. We picked out a dress that they all loved and I like because it's their money, I wanted them to be comfortable. I paid for the sashes, I paid for them to get their hair done, I let them get whatever shoes they want, they're wearing long dresses, who cares. I haven't asked them for one bit of help with anything. If they've offered, then I accepted, but I haven't asked them or required anything of them.
I don't get it. We're paying for almost everything ourselves, and if someone has offered to pay for something, we've taken their opinion, request into consideration and gone with it (ex. FMIL is paying for the limo, she picked which she wanted to rent, MOB is paying for the flowers, she helped me pick them out).
When is this wedding going to stop being about what everyone else wants and be about FI and I starting our lives?
