My Mother - Guilt trip.

My mother is currently on MSN guilt tripping me about how I have "left her out of the planning". She says she feels like just a guest and not the mother of the bride. I did do most of the planning, but she lives out of town, and whenever I talked about wedding planning I felt she wasn't that interested. Now I feel terrible, but most things are already planned! I don't know what to do!

This is YOUR big day, plain and simple! Don't let anyone, even your family make you feel bad. My fiance and I are having a destination wedding for that reason. Whoever can make it will, whoever can't won't. We will have a celebration when we get back home for all our friends and family. We only get to enjoy this day once and we refuse to let anyone make it less than amazing.

It just sucks because I would have loved to have her help with every detail, but I didn't think she was that interested, and she chooses NOW to speak up? When most things are picked and decided? I'm so upset thinking that she is upset.

Tell her every time I try to talk to you about the wedding you seem not interested. Tell her how you feel.

I just sent her an email telling her that, and saying i wish she spoke up sooner. I also included a list of the things I still need to do. Bah, tonight is making me emotional!

You behaved based on how you perceived her. And you perceived her as uninterested. So there's really nothing to feel guilty about. Unless you're just not using your regular mind-reading capabilities. Just see if you can include her from now on, and all is good.
