My Mother is STRESSING ME OUT!!!
So last night was awful!!!! My mother and I got into a HUGE fight. It all started because she has been wanting to over the food list with me again before she calls our "cater". Well she hands me a list and she has add so many new things in. Which some of you are prob. thinking that is great but its not great trust me. We are on a tight budget and my mom keeps telling me we can't afford this and that but she wants to spend money on more food? It just REALLY ticked me off!!!

Then she starts saying that there is nothing there that she would eat. So the wedding is back to being about her now. Which im just SICK OF! so it got me upset and I started yelling and she is yelling. In the yelling match I asked her wouldnt she rather help me out with invitations than rather spend more money on food we don't need? Of coarse not! My brother had to come break us up because it got out of hand.

I feel really bad but I want this wedding to me about me and Jason (FH). I feel like she is making everything around her and what she wants (which is how my mother is which I knew getting into this). We just have a hard time getting along. She keeps saying "wells its my money, Im paying for it" Ya you are but doesnt she want me to be happy? Doesnt she want me to love my wedding?

I just feel so bad. My mother is really stressing me out. She just seems to only want to help out if it favors her! Oh and before you say I need to talk to her about it....TRUST ME that is IMPOSSIBLE. My mother wants this GREAT relationship between but its hard. She is controlling and obsessed with me. When we do talk she only hears what she wants to hear. Because of our fight last night she said I don't love her and blah blah blah. Im sick of her acting like a 5 year old. My 6 year old daughter even tells her "its my mommys wedding".

Sorry for all the rabbling. I dont even know if it makes sense! Im just stressed and sad at the moment. Plus my FH is not hear to comfort me :(

Ahhh, I'm sorry you are so stressed. I feel awful for you. Hopefully you two will be able to come  to a compromise eventually.
I'm not sure which is worse, having the issue you are having, or mine where neither my mom or his mom could care less about the details! :0(

The only other option is if she wont listen to you is there someone else that could step in that she would listen to? Someone who is unbiased and who is looking at the situation from outside if you understand me.....Its either that or you are held to ransom basically by her behaviour which is really unfair. It seems like this is her wedding really and I think its really horrible that shes holding the money thing against you. Im not sure what the situation is financially for you and FH but if I could I would try and get the money elsewhere and then be able to do my own thing without her down my throat ordering what she wants. I can see you being very upset on your day as she doesnt seem to have any self control. What about going away to get married? I know we are having a destinaton wedding and when you stay 7 nights or more in alot of resorts the basic wedding package is free. Its another option anyway.....keep your head up hun and if you want to talk just email me x
