FSMIL issue.. just need to vent.

So I woke up this morning and checked my FB to see what's going on. I came across this exchange...

(FI's step cousin) 2 more days till the big Roast!!

(FI's step cousin's half sister) i hope you have fun, oh and have fun at (AK/FI's) wedding that I never got an invitation to...

(FI's step mom) I'm so sorry you didn't get a personal invitation. It's my fault. I thought that word would get around to all of you since we didn't have everyones address. Please know that you are family and are welcome to attend. Consider this your personal invitation from me. Love you.


Just felt like sharing... I've already left a message for FI's step mom to call me. I'm going to have her let this person know that we can't accomodate her. This is her problem.

I'm starting to think I might hate FB.

  • Yep, FB has a lot to answer for.  Hang in there AK
  • Wow. She is something else.
  • Grrr. Ridiculous.

  • Wow. First of all, I don't understand why Fi's step mom would assume people would think they were invited if they never got an invitation. That is the key component to whether someone is invited or not.  Also, that is super annoying she just invited people without talking to you and FI. So sorry-I bet that is really frustrating.

  • I've been over this with her several times but I guess I'm stuck doing damage control... 36 days to go and none of this will matter any more anyway. :)
  • I am your fiance's step cousin's half sister!

    What does that make us?

    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

    "Never mind those pesky things called invitations, we thought it would just work around to you."  Wow, that's really frustrating.  I would try to nip this one in the bud.

  • Point in favor of fb.  This way you found out before this random person just showed up at the wedding because the exchange took place in another forum.

    Good point - hadn't thought of it that way.

    AK - what did you end up doing?
