MIL vent

So my new MIL had dinner withh us the the other night and she was talking about the wedding as if it was her day AGAIN!!!  All through the planning it was all about her in that she worried about her dress and her hair, whenever I brought up my stuff she never said a word and I have yet to hear her compliment me on my dress and look.  DH and I have fought over this and came to the conclusion that I should just let it be, but after dinner the other night and hearing about her pics and how she was so tired she had to take 2 days off after...I am fuming again.  Not to mention her dress was the same color as the bridal parties and she only talks about herself.  Am I being irrational???  How should I handle this?  It really bothers me because she makes it all about HER!!!

    just smile and nod... and let it go.  You get to choose your husband, not his family. Everyone else around her will realize how self-centered she is, which is all the retaliation you'll ever need.  Don't egg her on and let it cause you problems.  Just smile and let it roll off your back.

    Oh Katie...I feel ya!  My MIL took a week off before the wedding!!!  You would think she had to do things for it...she did nothing for it  (that's ok).  She just had to show up!  LOL  For my shower she got upset because her family didn't come...and she said...I am so upset that they didn't come to support me!!!  WTF?!  It's my shower...and last time I checked...It's more about the brides family than the grooms (ok I am being a brat!)  :)  Anyways...I think venting on here or the nest might be your only recourse at this point...unless you want to put her in her place! 

    GL!

    I am sure we all have MIL that drive us batty but keep in mind that how you handle the situation might effect more then just the wedding. I would be mindful because if the wedding is making you upset think about when kids are involved and she wants to make choices for them with out asking you first.
