moh drama (vent session)

Michelle, on July 31, 2019 at 7:17 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 14
So most of this wedding planning process has been nothing but drama from my wedding party. More recently my MOH has been a bit self-centered and I'm tired of it.

We were originally going to get our nails done the day before the wedding in the morning with my mom, sister, daughter, and niece. She was going to have the whole day off but her boss asked if she could work a few hours in the morning. She asked if we could go at 12 instead and I didn't think it would be a problem.

My sister and niece are flying in from Hawaii 10 days before the wedding and my sister is baking all of our cupcakes from scratch so they can't really be done too soon or they could get ruined. She was worried she wouldn't be able to get them done in time before we have to travel an hour to the venue where we will be spending the night so we were hoping to go Thursday night instead. I bring this up to my MOH and she says she wouldn't be able to go until after 6 as she is working and thinks that's a bit late to go get nails done. I said it's either that or earlier Friday morning to which she replied she already told her boss she would work and she's not telling him nevermind now so she'll just go by herself Friday after work.

I can tell she's not happy but I stick to my guns (she can be very difficult to deal with sometimes) and say if that's what we need to do then so be it. She asked what time rehearsal was and I said she needed to be to the venue for 3:45 so we can start at 4 and she says I'll try but I might as well work until 1 now since I was only leaving early so we could do stuff together. Then proceeds to post on Facebook saying "Can I Drop out now?!"

Now I'm angry because she's being a pain over something trivial and is acting like I just betrayed her because she is refusing to be cooperative. On top of it I asked everyone to be at the venue the day of the wedding for 10:00 as that is when we are allowed to start decorating and she told me she'll be there at 12 because the kids will be bored for all that time.

Thank you for reading all of this and sorry for the super long post. Lol

    I mean she can’t really do anything about work, I’ve had to cancel or delay so many important things because of my former boss, so I get it. I had to pay someone $ to cover me to go to a friend’s wedding so she might be feeling the pressure.
    However her Facebook post sounds melodramatic and unkind, and no matter what situation she’s dealing with that isn’t a cool thing to post.

    The FB post was unkind.
    With that said you can’t be mad at her when it comes to work. I’ve had to make a few sacrifices for my job as well.

    Yeah, as Yam and Kelly have stated, her work situation is not really her fault. She doesn't want to lose her job. BUT WOW that Facebook post is really rude and uncalled for. Very petty and I'd feel shocked and hurt that she would feel the need to post that to everyone that follows her. I have no clue what to say about the FB post. It's just rude. I would feel super offended. Have you spoken to her recently since the post?

    I agree the FB post was not needed. But she can’t help work and can get her nails come on her own. Did she agree to helping you decorate? Plus having whiney kids would not be helpful.

    I feel like if I was MOH and had planned to do something w/ the bride, and my boss asked me to work I would kindly let them know that I couldn’t and still needed the whole day off. Not everyone’s boss is so nice and understanding though. It is understandable that after she told her boss that she could, but the new time didn’t end up working out for you that she wouldn’t be able to change again. As for the FB post, that was reallyyy petty and I would have commented asking what she wanted to drop out of lol. A few sacrifices never hurt anybody. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    The FB post does seem unnecessary

    I completely understand about work. I didn't expect her to not work. I was just a bit frustrated that she wouldn't try to compromise then was upset at me for not complying with her. We ended up reaching an agreement though so all is good.

    I have no problem with her working. I was just hoping she would meet me halfway. We did end up figuring it out. Thank you.

    She did say she would help and I assured her we had things to keep the kids occupied. We have some yard games they can play and our venue is an Inn that we have access to with TV's and sitting areas and whatnot.

    I totally get the work thing. I was trying to find a compromise we could both agree on and she just wasn't having it at first. We did talk and everything has been worked out.

    Wow she sounds dramatic. She shouldn't have posted that on facebook and news flash this event isn't about her...I'm sorry you're dealing with that :/ Good luck to you!

    The FB post was rude, but you're being overdramatic about getting nails done. If she can make it, great - if not - it's not a big deal at all.
