Grooming Question

lschickert

So I need help my FMIL has a really bad mustache problem.  Any ideas on how to approach it? Or should I try to forget it. 

Also my FSIL is getting one too (although she complains about her mother's)... and my FFIL has some nose hair problems.

I don't want to be a bride-zilla, but It is kind of embarrassing. I also don't want to be a pest, but it does bother me...

Maybe I just need to get over it...

Yes, you need to get over it.  What is your issue?  That someone will look down on you on your wedding day for your FMIL's stache?

You just need to get over it.  There's no polite way to say "Hey let's wax your lip!"

Actually, it does sound like a great conversation starter.

Yup you need to get over it. Not really all that important and super embarrassing (for both parties) when you bring it up. Andplusalso, how does someone's hair issue reflect on you at all? It doesn't.

Fun story: H's sisters have some fairly significant peach fuzz on their back.  I noticed it while they tried on dresses.  Day of, no one noticed.  No one paid attention.  No one asked me about their back hair.  Chill out.  Just worry about your own moustache (or lack thereof)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh my this made me laugh.

I'm pretty sure your FMIL doesn't care about it or she would get rid of it on her own.  She obviously knows its there so mentioning it isn't going to do anything expect hurt her feelings!  And I agree with PPs that her looks have nothing to do with you AT ALL.  Would you tell her to lose weight too?  Or go tanning?  Hmm I hope not.

Can you not help but stare at it? Do you accidentally say the word hair or mustache instead of what you're trying to say? Maybe check out Austin Powers for ways to deal with this.

My FSIL has fairy thick and dark back hair, and picked a low-back BM dress for the wedding, but Imma not say a thing!  No way!  Definitely not a reflection on me.

I'm sure your FMIL is aware of her "problem" and your pointing it out is only going to embarrass her.  I mean, would you want someone looking at you and telling you that you wear too much makeup, or have bad skin, or something along those lines?

It sounds like someone took the FFF suggestion that our recent trolls have been lame and not funny to heart.

Don't say anything. Just like not saying anything to a FMIL whose dress is way too formal and won't wear a stitch of make-up or do her hair. (my situation)

That is kind of what I was thinking. I know I just need to get over it.  I am not telling her to do her hair or anything, so some people just need to not worry about it.

Facial hair is one of my pet peeves...  I know it does not reflect on me, but I know it bothers her son and her daughter too.
