My husband and I feel like we are always in a battle with his mom!! We are planning a wedding renewal ceremony (we eloped/court house the 1st time) and she has requested alone time for her and my husband the day of the wedding! I realize this doesn't seem like that big of a deal except we have already told her that we are doing the photography before the wedding and that my husband will be incredibly busy that day. She knows we are staying in the same hotel after the wedding for a week (destination wedding) and I'm afraid she's going to ask to stay for the whole week and ruin our whole honeymoon. What do I do?? She keeps making mean comments like "These past three years (how long my husband and I have been married) have been he*l because of your situation" and "I don't understand why you had to marry HER". Has anyone been in this situation? What do you do???
Look, I would have no problem allowing this little alone time pow-wow to happen if she were a normal mother-in-law...the problem is she says something negative about me every chance she gets!! I really just don't want the last thing my husband hears before the ceremony is how he shouldn't have married me in the 1st place. Is that so much to ask?
Thank you so much to all of the people who understand where I'm coming from on this one! Sometimes I think I'm the only one with the crazy mother-in-law. Unfortunately, we can't change hotels (the hotel we're staying at is the same one we're getting married at). The problem is we have tried all of the ideas listed below before. We tried talking to her, we tried reasoning with her, my husband stands up to her repeatedly and defends me, at one point we got so desperate we even put her on a time out with no communication for six months!! None of it is working!! I'm afraid it is always going to be like this and in the back of my head I'm wondering if I should be planning a wedding or divorce!! (I love my husband but I can't stand his mom!!)
