Slightly Bummed...

I always pictured the night before my wedding as a big girls sleepover with all of my BMs. I quickly realized that my MOH has back problems and she needs her special mattress and such to sleep otherwise her pain is worse. Totally understandable. One BM is a single mother to her 3 year old, she can't leave her child alone overnight. Totally understandable. One BM lives with her FI and her parents and she needs to stay around to be the buffer otherwise they bicker. Totally understandable. FSIL and her bf are going to be staying in a hotel and she didn't want to leave him and wants alone time in a hotel with him. Totally understandable.

That leaves my sister... originally she was going to sleepover with me at our parents' house, but now she can't because her husband is taking her step son fishing (it's a big tournament) early in the morning and their child together (the RB) will be left alone and he is too young for the derby. So she can't sleepover :(

I'm annoyed because her husband is explaining that he never gets to do things with his kid. Yea, he spends more time with his mother, but fishing is the only thing they do together. He has plenty of opportunities to bike ride, play catch etc. with his son, but chooses not to when he is with him.

I don't not like my parents, I just never imagined my last night as a single girl spent sleeping at parents alone like an only child :(

Re: Slightly Bummed...

  • I'm sorry to hear that.....the only person staying with me for sure if my 17 year old baby sister...so I def know how you feel.

     

  • As far as I know I'm alone! Some of my cousins might stay but I honestly have no clue.

  • Look at it this way.. you will want your rest (even though I know we will all be giddy) and time to yourself to collect your thoughts and just have a peaceful night before the big day! You can talk with FI on the phone :)

  • I can see being disappointed. I do have people sleeping over. BUT like PP said, you will likely sleep better. I am a little concerned that I will be up too late because my friend from across the country is flying in and spending the night. I'll be too excited about getting to talk to her!

  • I understand how you feel! I was just talking to my mom about this today. 

    One of my BM is bringing a date from out of town so I don't know if she will want to leave him alone. Another BM has to help out with her mom (my aunt) a lot (getting her dressed, etc) so I don't know if she will be able to spend the night. That would leave one BM which would still be fun but like you said, I always pictured the four of us hanging out, watching a wedding themed movie and going to bed. 

    On the bright side, I do agree with PP that it would also be nice to have my apartment all to myself on the last night of "singledom" and to actually get some sleep!

  • You ladies are right, I will probably want to be alone, collect my thoughts, and get some rest :)

  • I'm going to be alone, or maybe my mom will sleep at our house.  It's okay, probably better to get a good night's sleep anyways!

  • I am really glad that my BMs are all staying over with me, but I know I'm not going to sleep well. Enjoy the peace and quiet and rest you'll get before the chaos begins in the morning! And hey, a way to make up for it might be to have all the girls over for breakfast early before the day gets going.

    I wish I was going to be alone! LOL The FI and i decided we're both sleeping in our own bed. He sleeps through me getting ready every morning for work anyway. I'll just get up and not go back to our bedroom until we leave for the hair dresser. Plus my sister and her son will be in and staying with us, and my Mother will be there too.
