AW: pt. 2, the FMIL (long winded)

The FMIL was a 3hr argument/discussion between me and FI and FI and FMIL.

We got a groupon for roundtrip car service from the house to the airport.  The next day there was a groupon for parking at the airport garage.  I told FI to tell FMIL so she could save some money.  FMIL told her that she's worried about parking at the airport and that she wouldn't be able to find the airport.

She's going to park her car at our house (didn't ask, said she was going to do this) and wants FI to find a car to take her and her husband to the airport (she's apparently incapable of doing this for herself.)  I told FI that under NO circumstances is FMIL and FFIL riding in a sedan with us. FI told her we already have a car for the 2 of us, but it won't sit 4ppl plus luggage.  FMIL said she didn't understand why she can't just ride with us, not understanding what FI just said.  I explained to FI that this is not my ideal way of spending my wedding trip- tethered to a woman who doesn't even like me's hip.  I have to fly with her and I don't want to have to deal with airport transportation with her.  I want to spend as little time with her as possible.  FI agreed and we decided that if she wants to ride with us she has to pay the money to upgrade to an SUV and cover the tip BOTH ways to the drive.  FMIL didn't like this option.  She doesn't understand why if we can't cover the expenses.  B!tch we covered enough for the 2 of us!  You 3rd and 4th wheels need to provide your own way!  After going back and forth she reluctantly agreed.

I live 31.1mi from the airport and we found out that there is an additional charge of $20/each way for places more than 30mi from the airport.  I work 27mi from the airport and we have gated parking.  We decided that we'll drive to work and the driver will pick us up from there.  FI tells FMIL to go to my work and leave the car there.  She said she won't be able to find my work.  She's been to our house of sin (her words), and I work 1 exit up, you can see my work from my backyard and from 2 exits before mine!  She said she can't find it on Google and she's going to come here and FI can take her to my work.  NO NO NONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!  I told FI that she had 55 days to find my work on Google, and I have faith that she'll be there in time.  Under NO EFF-ING circumstances are we chauffeuring the devil in glasses on my wedding trip!

FI told her to figure it out, and emailed her directions to my work, and she said "she'll try" to make it, but might get lost.  I told her that she has 55 days and can start walking now if she wants to make sure she's here on time.

THEN she said she won't be able to get there in time, at like 6am, and wants us to change our flight time.  I told FI we're not changing a thing for her and good, and we'll leave her @ss.  I kept saying she has 55 days and she has plenty of time to figure it out, I'm not bending over backwards and he's done helping her.  I'm not dealing with her sh!t and my family is ready to rip this woman a new one.

  • Oh boy! Tell her to buy a GPS and she will find your work very easy! I can't believe she wants you to change your flights. Wow. Do you think she's trying to get under your skin?

  • Oh Murph, I'm sorry to hear about all this.  I'm glad your FI is sticking up for you and helping out though.  It's great that you can lean on him for this.  Good luck with everything

  • If she is it's working, but I'll never let her know that.  I'm a strong personality and she's trying to get me to leave.  She asks FI almost daily if he's sure about marrying me.  FI told her numerous times I'm not going anywhere and this wedding is going to happen.
  • OMG... this woman is absolutely insane!!!  I don't blame you one bit for not catering to her!  What a joke!

  • SNAP at you and the 55 days! Sorry, that made me laugh. I understand this sucks though. I fully agree about not wanting to share airport transportation with her. I would never want to be on a flight with D's mom. You get major props for that. Good luck and stick to your guns.
