Back when FI and I first got engaged FMIL had mentioned that she wanted to put an announcement in the papar. I told her I didn't care for the idea and I because I hadn't heard anything since I figured she dropped the idea. Personally, I think it's pointless and don't care to have my picture for all the see.
Yesterday we were all at their house for father's day and she mentioned that since our e-pics were in she'd like to not only put in one of the pictures but also write the little blurb about us too. I know she's really happy because FI is her only child but I can't believe this is back up for discussion.
Back when I worked on another floor of the hospital this one group at lunch would always nitpick and make fun of all the couples in the paper. I do not want to be part of that, especially since that group of people didn't care for me to begin with.
She wasn't backing down and I didn't want to be a spectactle at the family dinner, so I finally kind of gave in and told her if she really wants to do it then she's only allowed to put it in the local town paper only and not the 2 other larger ones (for the surrounding area)
(Keep in mind the convo was light hearted..we weren't argueing at all, she's very easy to talk to and laid back, sometimes borderline "umm..thats kinda dirty".
On a side note, while writing this, I realize that it is a bit trivial to be upset at her. But at the same time, she could have at least asked me for approval on the blurb or have me write it instead. Am I wrong with wanting at least that?
thank you for letting me b*tch
