Future MIL

in May 2013 Weddings
So, I'm dealing with a dilemma, that is not  uncommon, but I'm getting to my breaking point! Everytime I talk about something wedding related, my future MIL constantly rolls here eyes or makes comments, that are almost never positive. She has never been this way before, only with WR stuff. My FI is oblivious to it and  With that said, she isn't helping to pay for the wedding and I'm still trying to include her in the planning, but what could I do to keep my sanity for the next year?? Sorry for the whiny post, she was over for dinner last night and her latest eye rolling session is still bothering me this morning!

    I agree with RDR just dont bother discussing it with her. Its nto worth the aggrivation it causes you. If she chooses to ask you about the wedding then keep it minimal. Sorry she is being this way :(

    I'd definitely stop bringing it up around her, that way- no eye rolling can happen :-)

    I know how you feel with difficult in-laws.  I also understand wanting to take the high road and keep her in the loop.  My in-laws are a little different- my FSIL either tries to belittle any wedding idea that we have or she copies it for her own wedding.  I finally had to stop talking to her about anything related to our wedding.  When she asks what's going on, I just say that things have been pretty much the same and we haven't planned anything right now.

    I know it's hard to keep in the excitement and the "need" you have to talk about the wedding, but honestly, just don't. It's not worth it.

    I definitely don't have the need to talk about the wedding with my future MIL. I do it because my FI wants me to include her in the process. I have discussed how she is difficult to deal with, but I think it hurts his feelings that we aren't getting along. I mean if this was an annoying friend or cousin or something, it would be easier to shut them out of any discussion, but she is his mother, so it's easier said than done. I would have to think there is a happy medium between both options that won't drive me so crazy, I just need to figure out what that would be.

    I wouldn't talk about it unless she asks questions or it is something you need to talk to her about (like the guest list).
