Let's just say my mother and I didn't exactly have an amazing relationship when I lived at home. Things have gotten a lot better since I moved out but my bitterness is still there.
(That much I know is my own fault.)
That being said, she's really irritating me. She doesn't really like my fiancee because he isn't "redneck" enough for her. Those aren't her words, but I can read between the lines. She says she's happy for me and excited about the wedding, but whenever I bring it up she's quick to start rolling her eyes and changing the subject. When I found a wedding dress I really liked, I showed her a picture of it. (It has a little bit of red trim across the chest, down the waist and down the train.) All she could say about it was "that really weird" and turn up her nose. She doesn't want to discuss the finances at all, but she made sure to tell me that she wants two "mother-daughter" songs played. As if I've ever even heard of those... She wants "Stealing Cinderella" by Chuck Wicks and "Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes" by the Forester Sisters. First of all, I despise both of those songs. Second, there's only one other country song we plan on playing at all. Third, the lyrics to "Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes" are hardley appropriate for a wedding.
Not to mention when the subject of her dress came up, she told me she was going to wear this dark green paisley dress she wore to her friends graduation party back in the 80s. (I only wish I were kidding.) Our wedding colors are black and red. I wanted to smack her.
(All of that rambling to get to this...)
I'm not sure if I should just give up talking to her about it or not. I'm trying to let her be a part but she clearly either wants to be in control of everything, or just doesn't want to hear about it at all. Have any of you guys had problems like this particularly?
