But just a small one. Why does it keep surprising me at her utter lack of consideration for anyone besides herself? She's all into planning the bridal shower (of which I'm thankful, yes), but she's getting way into it. I mean, shutting out everyone else into it.
I was talking to her earlier and (besides the fact that she's going WAY out of her way to make sure my dad's FI is invited so she looks good), she's now trying to push me around. She wants me to tell dad's FI (we're visiting next week) that she's invited (this was repeated by my mom about a million times) and she's shooting for August 11th. Well, my birthday is August 7th and birthdays are a HUGE thing for FI's family. We're not doing gifts for any holidays this year. We decided we would do birthdays and a small getaway for New Year's (since it will be our first as a married couple). I told her that we should maybe shoot for a different weekend (oh, I don't know its not like there's TONS of time) since my birthday was so close and she said "Well, you'll just have to get over it."
No lie. I'm quoting here. For real? I wanted to yell "I'm the *&#%@ bride! Why are you getting worked up over this?" It's not even a wedding thing. It's that we're allowing ourselves one thing this year so we can save for the wedding and go on a nice HM and she can't push it back one weekend? It makes me not want a bridal shower if she's going to be crazy.
Am I wrong? Maybe it was just the way she said it in a snotty manner. Just irked me.
