Can't escape the family drama!!!

So... this weekend is our engagement party in Atlanta (where FI is from) and it's the first time that my entire family is going to be together in the same city with his entire family. To me this is crazy b/c we're 7 months away from the wedding - but alas, I digress. 

So I'm going CRAZY over family this weekend _ I can't seem to calm myself down. FI's parents could probably not care less that my family is in town - which I find very odd and rude - and so nothing has been planned for the two fams to get together. So we have my family - doing who knows what during the day - and his family, going along with their day-to-day, without regard for the fact that my fam flew in from Ft. Laud and Chicago (sis) to be together. 

Is it me? Should I be annoyed? Should I politely say something to my future mother in law? Or should I just let it go, and let things be? Our flight is in 2 hours, and I'm going insane. Not looking forward to this.... feel like crying :( Did I mention that my birthday is on Sunday and I have no idea if something is planned? Here's hoping FI has something up his sleeve... and maybe this is all a joke? or is the joke on me :(

Re: Can't escape the family drama!!!

  • Is this the first time both of your families will be meeting for the first time? It's the notion I'm getting from reading your post. I do agree with you about your FI's family not showing any interest or concern to be awfully rude. I would be pretty upset especially since you all will become a family once you are married. I would suggest either you or your FI or both can ask your FMIL ask her if they have any plans/ideas for the two families to get together.
  • I am so sorry you're feeling bad! I don't blame you-- I hate not having plans and knowing what's going on! 

    I would probably talk to FMIL and say something along the lines of "so when would you all be able to meet my family? They're excited to be in town!".... and leave it at that. If she doesn't make an effort I wouldn't push it. Try your best just to stay calm and relaxed about this. It will just be easier on you!

    I'm so sorry you'll be there for your birthday! Don't worry- I'm sure you'll have a great day!

    Sending vibes!

  • Sorry you feel this way!

    Everything that comes to family is so complicated.
    Talk to your FI so he knows where you are coming from. I do think its a little rude that no one has tried to get your family to spend some time.
