[quote=Anonymous]My mom rather unexpectedly turned into a crazy person during my wedding planning.  At one point, she called to tell me she wasn't coming to the wedding because I did not respect her opinion re: invitations (by the way, I went with her choice so WTH?).  That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me and I admit to breaking down and yelling at her for being so impossible.  One of us hung up on the other(can't remember which) and my dad tried to broker a peace deal.  I said I would not apologize unless she did the same and stopped acting so nuts.  Oddly, that worked and everything was okay for the rest of the wedding planning and wedding.  That said, I was really not that into the wedding itself because I'm not into big events so I took her advice a lot.

In the end, we were fine and she has not criticized my child-rearing yet do perhaps the fight nipped it in the bud.

So I don't advise a huge blow out fight but maybe a more gentle confrontation and boundary setting would help :)[/quote]
