Daughter being Bride Zilla over MOB dress

Do you have a picture of the dress you could share? She really shouldn't be dictating what you wear.

I wouldn't do her flowers at all. You're her mother, and you're not supposed to be working for her wedding.

She didn't want to go, and gave you vague directions with just saying blue but darker than the bridesmaids. Tell her stop being a brat. Keep the dress you have and best of luck with your surgery. :-)

She doesn't get to dictate what you wear at all. She's being a brat.

This is the dress

Keep it. It's beautiful!!

It's beautiful. Who cares what color you wear. Tell her to stop and then ignore the subject.

Best of luck on the back surgery!!!

Tell her to stuff it, you raised her better than this. That dress is appropriate and she doesn't need to dictate your attire.

Good luck on your surgery. The first couple of weeks are very difficult.

That dress is gorgeous!!! And I agree with everything PP have said. Keep the dress!

Also, best wishes with back surgery. Sending good thoughts your way.

"Then" and "Than". It makes a difference. Secondly, don't do her flowers -- pros charge what they charge because it's a monumental task. For the lay person, it's a damn nightmare. That's your bigger issue.

I think the posted pic of the blue gown is very pretty, and if this a MOB gown, go and buy it. It's not her business -- not in the slightest -- to tell you, the MOB, what to wear. You're allowed to wear fuchsia sequins, fire engine red, or that lovely blue dress you posted. You are allowed to wear whatever makes you, the MOB, feel gorgeous (live it up -- you're a VIP, after all). She gets to pick enough dresses, right?

What a brat! Don't do her flowers. If you're contributing money to her wedding I would pull it out. She is being totally inappropriate and childish.

The bride should have gone with you instead of planning for gifts for herself. I can kind of see where she's coming from if maybe the bridesmaids dresses are turquoise, then that might be the wrong shade of blue. But regardless, she should've helped you more and not have been so selfish and I am definitely not on her side on this. I agree with others here; keep the dress because you should wear whatever you want. And, don't do her flowers. As Rachel said, leave flowers to the pros. It will be a nightmare, especially after having back surgery and being on bedrest for several months. Good luck, by the way. Do not put yourself through that. You are the MOB, not her florist. What if she's not happy with how they turn out, seeing as how she's upset about the dress that she turned you loose to pick it out?

You shouldn't have to match the bridesmaids or even "go" together- the dress is lovely tell her to suck it up!

Yeah, she's out of line. Don't do her flowers and don't let this nonsense stress you out so close to your surgery. I hope it all goes smoothly for you and you have a quick recovery.

Beautiful dress, btw!

That's gorgeous! She shouldn't even be dictating the color that you wear. She's being awful, and you don't need to put up with that. Definitely don't do her flowers for her. That's more than you should be doing anyways.

I told both moms I don't care what they wear as long it's not white or shade of it lol or black lol.

You are the MOB you gave birth to that Zilla...play that card and get her back in line. Don't give in, she should have gone with you.

That dress is beautiful! She's crazy

If she wanted you in something specific she should have gone with you. Not your problem. Keep the dress. Good luck with your surgery.

Tell her to bad you put a deposit on it! I told my mom and fmil they can wear pretty much whatever they want.

Your daughter is being a brat. That dress is beautiful! If you like it, wear it.

I took my mom to pick her dress out even before I chose a color for my bridesmaids. It's really important to me that she feels pretty. Your daughter should realize how lucky she is that you're here and able to see her get married.

Best of luck on your surgery!
