So my mother is a huge narcissist and makes literally everything about her. That being said, at the beginning of the wedding planning I told her that while I appreciate her input, there were gonna be times when I would want to do things with my FH or my MOH alone and not with her. She didn't talk to me about the wedding for MONTHS after that. We had a huge blow up a few weeks ago because I wasn't "including her" in the planning except as an 'afterthought', which....yeah I have been leaving her out because she's stress inducing and hates ALL of my ideas!
Which leads me to now. I'm in the middle of a text "argument" over my favors. I wanted to do Peach and Cream Soda jelly belly jelly beans in a cute little glass container with a tag that says "Thanks for BEAN here!" and another option of a little bag of doggo treats that say, "We love our dogs as I'm sure you know, so take a goodie bag for yours to go!"
Well....she HATES it. Says nobody likes jelly beans and I need to do something other people will like. Then she starts spam texting me pictures of OTHER favor ideas that SHE likes better! I'm trying really hard to be polite and include her, but every-time I try she just tells me how my ideas are trash and I should do the thing she likes better!
What would you do?
