Some day's my FMIL is really nice and helpful others she's a huge wench.
Today is a wench day ... We did our seating chart Sunday and I thought everything was all all set. We'll today my FSIL tell me that FMIL is mad because her family has to sit on the "bad" side of the reception hall. UMMM... the tables are split down the middle and the grooms family sits on the side the groom is sitting on!!! I don't get one bit how this is the bad side? We have all of our families sitting up as close as we can to the head table, and our friends in the back 40 of the hall (also closest to the bar). Where does she want them to sit with my family??
Yesterday was FMIL birthday, and her and FFIL went out to dinner, w/out their kids. We both called to say happy birthday, and asked if we could stop by the house to give her a card after dinner. We'll on their way home from dinner they stopped at my parents to get some stuff from them and we were there getting our marriage license (long story), so we just talked to them then - in the car because she refused to get out of the car to talk to us. Now she's mad because we were at my parents instead of celebrating her birthday with her.
I think it's a lost cause to make her happy before the wedding...
Re: Don't think I can ever make FMIL happy...
How is your Fi when dealing with her? Is he helpful? Can you have him talk to her about these things?

I KNEW OP HAD SAID SOMETHING CRAZY RECENTLY!
OP, it sounds like she just needs a big, icy glass full of ignore. Don't entertain her.

<div>You make me so happy, Heels. </div>
A lot of times if my MIL is angry I'll just ignore her because when I disagree with her, she always gets offended; i.e. she didn't think it was necessary that we register for china, I disagreed, so she got all huffy and said "Well I'm getting a little uncomfortable with this discussion," so I said "Fine, we won't have it then!" Easy breezy.

Just going by the title - Don't think I can ever make FMIL happy....
<strong>Then don't. She's not worth your energy or time.</strong> If she says something rude,does some misinterpretation of what really happened on her birthday or doesn't approve of you, then ignore, like water off a duck's back.

Yup, I'd be pissed too.
Just call me "Brothel"
And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010
