Need advice

Kendra, on October 21, 2019 at 9:19 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 6
I live in Kansas with my FH and his whole family while my whole family is in Illinois. While we are finishing up the little details, my mom is getting more......sensitive toward decisions about when and where she walks and with who. Has anyone else had these issues?

    I'm not sure what your asking exactly. What is your mom being sensitive about? When and where is she walking? Are you talking about down the isle? Is she walking with you or walking in as the mother of the bride? Have you talked to her about it? Asked her why she's upset?

    Sorry let me be more clear. After telling her the order of entrant she got upset. It goes the officiant, grandparents, her escorted by an usher, my FH escorting his mom, then the start of the bridal party. I am asking if anyone has advice with handling overly sensitive parents.

    Oh ok. I guess just ask why that order upsets her. Our parents seem like they couldn't care less so there's no sensitivity there. Other than that, sorry I couldn't be more help

    Hey Kendra! I'm sorry to hear that your mother is feeling upset.

    Renee had a great point of asking what exactly is making her upset. Perhaps you might realize that there is actually something more that is weighing on her that merely the processional order.

    If it is the processional order that is bothering her, ask what way she envisioned it and what about it is upsetting her. You will get the opportunity to explain to her your thinking behind the decided order too. It may be a case of you both not being on the same page.

    I agree that if she’s upset about the order of the processional, she’s probably actually upset about something else. Is it because she feels like she’s so far away from you while you are planning your wedding and your FH family is so close?

    It could be, but they aren’t doing much to help. They aren’t able to financially help or really have an opinion. So I don’t understand.
