I have a step-mother/mother issue.
I want both my Step Mom of 15 years and my Mother of 29 years to sit in the front "parents'" row at my wedding.
My mom is fine sharing the spotlight... my stepmom ... not so much.
She now has my dad threatening to not even come to my wedding if I put my mom in the front row. She has been my NC Mom for the past 14 years, while my mom remained in Florida. My Step mom and dad have been able to help me out more financially than my mother, and believe that that leaves my mom "not entiteled to sit in the front row"
I have tried to appeal to them on many levels... but they are demanding that I'm disrespectul, inconsiderate, and mean and hurtful.
I just want all of my parents to be in a position of pride and honor on my wedding day. I've tried to appeal to them that it is only 40 minutes of their life...
They are insisting they will not show up if I don't change my seating plans...
How can I get this to go away! Or can I??
