FFIL Vent

So my FI dad called him the other day to ask a few questions about the wedding. Just double checking information and whatnot. Well, he told FI that I should have included a card in our invites with registry information and/or a specific gift that we would like from each person. I'm sorry, but that is rude, and I don't even care if we get a gift. It's just the fact that he was rude about it. And another thing. We didn't even think to invite his dad's uncle because honestly we forgot, and his dad says that we need to send an invite to him because even though he won't show up he will send us a gift. I understand that we should have thought about him, but he hasn't been in the boys' lives and no one in the family likes him so we didn't even think to invite him, my bad. But he should have told us this a few weeks ago instead of this weekend. Our RSVP date is Friday and the man lives in Hawaii. We didn't send out STDs because everyone that we were thinking of inviting that lives far away was constantly in contact with us. 

I guess I'm just frustrated that he is being gift/money greedy and trying to disguise it with being courteous. I hate to say it but I have never ever in the 7+ years that FI and I have been together has he been courteous and thoughtful. I love him to death because I respect his honesty and eh respects mine, but seriously, I'm at my wits end with it right now. Him and and one of my FI brothers has started to alienate me, while the youngest one and I have become super close and it's a total reversal from how it was a few months ago, and FI tells me not to worry, but I have been trying to build my relationship with his family and now I'm just upset that they seem to be drawing away from me. I don't know. Thanks for listening everyone. I just needed to get it all out :)

  • Ugh that kind of sounded like FMIL several months ago... trying to invite long last family that won't be coming, that no one has seen/talked to in years just because they will "send a gift" and she also said we need to "make bank" at our wedding. FI luckily explains that we only want people we care about and those we want to be apart of our special day, not just because they will give us a "lot of money" or a "gift."

    I think FMIL maybe just didn't understand how weddings work and she is just anxious about money in general in her own life that it is trickling down to us. She wasn't coming from a greedy place. I am starting to understand her more and that everyone that has either been apart of a wedding or not still have their own ideas of how weddings work and are unable to understand how others think weddings work when the ideas are different.
