Mother in Law 2B

[gholman]

I see a few posts about MIL2B's getting in on the act and trying to take over the show. I have the opposite problem, mine does not seem to be taking any interest in the wedding whatsoever. She never mentions it when I go round

I am starting to get really paranoid that the reason for this is because she would prefer that it was not happening.

I just don't get on with her. I can't talk to her, she is on a different planet i think

perhaps she is staying out of the way because she is worried that you will think that she is interfering. Perhaps you should start talking about your wedding plans and see how she reacts.

I know what you mean though, my MIL2B seems to get on with everybody except me. Thats her problem not mine

Yeah you should see it how babs has said. If you try to get on with her and she is being distant and unfriendly then its HER problem. I would have thought that it is quite important to get on with your future daughter in law just for ease and for the sake of your son, but there must be something that happens to women when they reach a certain age, they get all hollier than though

Sending a big hug to you, i know how you feel. I havent got on with mine for 7 years!!!! He hasnt even told them that we are getting Married!!! The easiest thing is that they live in Spain but i feel so sorry for H2B as hes gonna try and make everyone happy bless him.

It was hard for him to think of who the best man was going to be, his brother didnt like me wither (im comman scum apprently..) and he desperatly wanted him to be the best man. He asked him during a footie match and he actually agreed, hes more worried about the speeches (more than me getting hitched to his bro!) so im happy about that and i think hes making the effort now that we are finally tieing the knot!

I think you should try and get her involved somehow, any ideas ladies? At the end of the day its your H2B tand you thats most important. Its a celebration of you love and commitment to one another and maybe shes just nervous for both of you (and all the money you are spending?)

hmm i wish my MIL2B would get involved! she has not asked about our plans and when we say what we are doing she completely changes the topic. WHY? I love her son, i am going to look after him and do anything i can to make him happy, so why is she being so nasty?

My MIL2b is a nice enough person but i do find i have to watch what i am saying. If i were to mention that me and H2B had a silly argument wheras my mum and mates would understand she would get all dramatic and see it as the begining of the end

I have decided that I am here to stay and she either likes it or she dosent. It is not going to affect my relationship with her son and as he is her only child, i would have thought that it is her that should be making the effort to secure a good relationship between us.

I hate my MIL2B she is an utter cow. Nothing i do is right. Everything i say she turns her nose up at. Hey I dont care, her son loves me, and i will continue to visit her and be there. So if she is gonna be funny then it is her business. If she wants to be funny with me then she is in fact being funny with her own son. I could be a bitch and make it hard for him to visit his family but i wont because i am taking the moral high ground. I advise you all to do the same
