kinda long cuz i need to vent...what do i do?

ok so when my FI was born he was given to his gma because his mom couldnt take care of herself let alone a baby. she used to say that she couldnt take care of him because she still had more partying to do. (B*tch). so he doesnt see her as his mom at all. i guess all the drugs she used to take had a long term effect cuz shes psychotic and never wants to see any1 elses good but shes always focuses on her bad.
when we told her we were engaged she was like "oh dont get to excited, i've had my ring for 11 years and im still waiting for my wedding." like really? just shup up and smile. so then we told her were already planning andwere gonna do it in puerto rico. and shes like "oh well if your gonna be selfish and do ur wedding there no1 is gonna go." 1 more time just shut up and smile. so i tell her, the people that mean the most to us will be there because they wouldnt miss it for the world. so she goes, "oh great so u guys are paying my ticket? cuz if u want important people there ill find a good price and youll pay my stuff." i told her def not.
mind u this is all before a bbq that my family was coming to and this is the 1st time my family spends time with his family and her opening remark to my parents is so hows the planning going? (cuz she knows theyre helping me plan) and shes like oh so ur paying everyones airfare cuz i wouldnt be able to go if u dont....HOW DO U SAY THAT to people u just met??  My great dad just goes "oh so i guess youre not going to the wedding then!" lol
what  do i do about this crazy lady?!?

  • Have fun with that one! I would just go on about doing what you want and don't worry about it! I think as long as gma is there that's what matters in this situation!

    Sounds like you're handling it pretty well.  I'm sure she'll keep making those remarks but just keep your ground.  She has time to save up for it, but something else will most likely be more important to her and she'll spend her money on that.  Does you're FI agree that she needs to pay for the trip herself to?  Good luck with everything and hope it all works out.

  • I am trying to pick my jaw up off of my desk!  WTF??? 

    Does your FI even WANT her to go?  Sounds like she'd be a handful!  Just let her know that she can "be there in spirit" and leave it at that (and tell her that every single time she tries to get a trip to your DW out of you)!

    GL!  I'm STILL trying to pick my jaw up off of my desk!
  • Oh wow! That sounds crazy! I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. If you're having an AHR, I'd let her know that if she's unable to make it to the ceremony, you will love to see her at the reception. I hope things get better for you!
  • Wow, sorry your FI has such a crappy mother and you have to deal with this.  I would just keep on like you have been, ignoring her crazy comments and being firm with the fact that you guys are not paying her way.
  • yikes!

    I love your dad's comment though. That made me smile. :)

  • WHOA! --- For real? Like PP said, do you and FI even want her at the wedding? It sounds like she would just add unnecessary drama to your whole trip and especially your wedding day.

    I don't even know what my dad would have said if future in-laws came off like that.

    I give you major kudos for how well you are handling it!

    [QUOTE] I wouldn't even mention the wedding to her.  Leave her out of all the plans, all the get togethers, etc.  Posted by chosen175[/QUOTE]

    I agree with this! She sounds A LOT like my FI's mother. She didn't give him away but he was basically raised by his best friend's dad and well...himself. When we told FI's mother we were engaged, her reaction was pretty much the same reaction one would have if I told them I was making hamburgers instead of hotdogs for dinner....as in "OK" (that was her response more or less).

    I think you are handling it well so far and I'm sorry you won't really have a MIL either. How does FI feel about it?
  • I have an idea. Find the cheapest plane ticket you can to any location OTHER than Puerto Rico. It'll shut her up and by the time she figures it out, she'll be headed to Chicago or somewhere, and she won't disrupt the wedding! 

    Seriously though, I cannot believe the things that people think & say. Sorry you are having to deal with this!  Your dad's response was awesome!

    Good luck, and keep us posted!
