Oh - only son syndrome, plus she thinks she is lady of the manor and head of the family here.
Still - she learnt rapidly that I do not get told what to do by her, but she now waits till I am out to get sneaky and get OH alone to do some brainwashing on him.
We are having to have a wedding at home too because MIL won't fly, but I have just gone for the full on wedding experience instead of the little discreet affair she wanted instead (she is ashamed of us having kids before marriage).
thats nothing to be ashamed of! thats not nice at all. just remember that its your big day dont let anyone tell you how it should be xx
the battles with mothers and mothers in law over weddings... they seem to feel like it's their day. I don't envy you. The weekend after we got engaged we went up to his parents' place and she managed to make me cry. She's usually lovely and we get on well, but she poured cold water on all our ideas. I'm sure it was upsetting for her too. All those years she'd imagined what her son's wedding would be like and here we were not conforming to the image in her head.
She came round about most of it, in the end.
glad she came round. think at wedding times it is nice to have everyone agree but obviously i think that it shud be up to the bride and groom. its their special day!
aw, i actually love my mil!
i am so grateful that she spoils me rotten but not too intrusive. at times i prefer her to my own mum
it's wierd because i am aware that her relationship with her own daughter is more similar to my relationship with mine - a bit stilted. but i am 'the daughter she never had' because her own is not at all girly and they have not too much in common.
thats really sweet nice to know theres one out there.
i thought mine was really nice till the true colours came out and it really hurt coz i live really far from my family and it meant alot to me that my mother in law was so nice to me.. but hey it wasnt meant to be.
hope this love between u n ur mil stays like this hun, its lovely to hear xxxx
