Hey , I'm so sorry you r going thru this. Not seeing you on mother's day bc mother in law more important. Nonsense . Sounds like the gf is a chip off old block of mom. Sounds like sons gf is a well....brat. idk best advice other than talk to your soon about how you'd like to be with him more , or make plans to take walks, lunches , etc things that don't break the bank. Invite son and gf or if gf doesn't come just son. Start to do all you can to make effort to be with son away from this so he can make sure it's what he wants . You are his mother , you deserve to be held high

Re: Registering for money
Generally people will advise you to have a very small registry, and then, IF someone asks you, you can say, "Oh, we don't need much, but we're saving for a house."
No, no, and no again.

@thefuturemrssisk Absolutely nobody on here was rude, whatsoever. It is not rude to say something is a bad idea. It IS rude to ask one's wedding guests for money, which is what a Honeyfund really is. As I said above, FBIL and FSIL are getting gossiped about for their Honeyfund, but nobody has said anything to their face because we love them and don't want to hurt their feelings.

As to the bolded, the moment the couple invites other people, it stops being about them and starts being about properly hosting the guests.
And yeah this is snarky, but since you already think we're being rude: why do you expect your guests to pay for your house? ------ Stupid Box not working
@JCBride2014 She could be talking about me when I said it was some of the worst advice I've heard. If she doesn't like that, oh well. It IS some of the worst advice I've heard. Unfortunately, I am someone who WOULD call out a bride and groom for being rude enough to do a HoneyFund and not give anything whatsoever, seeing as I'm not required to give anything to them. (Then again, I'm just spiteful, and if you can't treat me with respect, I'm not going to treat you with respect. Like I said, I'm super spiteful.)
