Unsupportive family members/horror stories

She sounds like a peach! Take a deep breath. You are so close and try not to let this get you down. I would just try to find another place to get ready and avoid her for the next 18 days.

Agreed with Sara, sorry you're dealing with the extra stress this close to your date. I would find a hotel near by and have a drama free morning the day of your wedding!

Not supporting her but why her bathroom and does she have a mental illness or a condition that makes her act like this?

It's sad but hey if your dad is good with it then that's a plus. Think of what his life must be like

You aren't entitled to the use of her home, untouched room or not.

I'm sorry that your mother isn't supportive, but if you knew that she wasn't, I don't understand why you would ask her for wedding-related favors. Just leave her out of the process entirely from now on.

I was asked by my dad to try to involve her and I have tried. I asked for the bathroom because my MOH lives in Dallas, my parents house is halfway for her and i and my dad thought my mom wouldn't have a problem with it. He was wrong and he feels bad now.....I think I am going to get a hotel and just make a weekend of it inspite of her. Just ready to not have to deal with my mom anymore. Go back to happily ignoring one another.....and yup shes been like this for years. pretty much since my son was born

I am guessing there is a back story here.

Just years of pointless bitter resentment. nothing worth re-hashing i assure you. just kinda had this crazy idea that my mom would try to be a supportive and loving part of our special day. not the biggest point of stress for both my fiance and i. Kind of stuck at a rock and hard place about actually telling her point blank how her crap attitude is effecting this process for me especially. My fiance is ready to fling her over a cliff if it keeps up. He needless to say does not like seeing me upset about this

My mother has a bad tendency of trying to be too helpful. She is paying for the ceremony/reception venue and food and a few other large things but I've had to encourage her to not promise people they can speak, not offer to let people outside of the bridal party get hair done (even if she pays for it because I really don't want a kajillion people in the bridal suite) and things like that. We're both people pleasers/like to promise people the world so it;s hard!

I'm dealing with mom issues but nothing on your level. Moms can be super stressful I hope your big day goes smoothly despite what youre going through.

Most people deal with some type of wedding related drama! Best thing you can do is grin and bear it for the sake of your Dad. Grab a hotel room like you said and leave your Mom out of any future wedding related talk. Good luck!

I'm sorry you are going through this OP. You have 2 weeks left before the big day. Try to make the best of it. Do yourself and your FH a huge favor by booking a room at a hotel for you and your MOH to get ready. It will save you, your FH and your dad a lot of unnecessary drama. Good luck and keep smiling.

This is YOUR day. I am a mom, and the last thing I would do is ruin my daughter's most special day no matter how much I didnt want her to get married, not like something or whatever the case maybe. Just remember this is about you, and your about to marry the man of your dreams! Best of luck! Breath, and enjoy.

I would just get a hotel. Weddings do not change people . It sounds like she was unsupportive before, so this shouldn't be a surprise. But I am sorry that you are dealing with this right before the wedding.

Tamatha, maybe you've been overburdening your mom with wedding talk. Don't expect her to change just because you're getting married. Sad but true. Go on and have a great day, and try not to expect approval from her.

Quit involving her, period. Trust me. Your mom sounds very much like my MIL & the best thing you can do is avoid relying on her for anything. Get a hotel room to get ready in. Then you won't have to put up with her. My MIL threw an absolute fit just months prior to my wedding & she ended up not attending. If you want to keep the peace, just keep her out of the picture. If she wanted to be involved, she would be. Decide right now that you're not going to let anything she does take away from your wedding day & you'll be fine. That's what DH & I did. We just acted like we didn't care what she did.

She sounds toxic. I would try and avoid communication with your mom between now and the wedding. Once the wedding is over decide how much you want her to be in your life.

We're having issues with FMIL. FH didn't want to invite her, but I told him he would regret it one day. Now I am the one with regrets. Just trying to avoid talking wedding plans with her at all costs. Or, talking to her at all, for that matter. We don't really want her in our lives right now.
