[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL asked me if my pregnancy was "unplanned." This was our third baby and we'd been married for a decade at this point. I gathered myself together and told her it was VERY much planned and we were shocked at how quickly I got pregnant!

Before she was my MIL, she felt the need to tell me how and when and where DH was conceived.  Seared forever into my memory and I don't think DH even knows.

MIL has no filter and surprise, no friends.

Back With another one, this time my own mother.

DH and I had a relatively small wedding, maybe 75 guests and an even smaller rehearsal dinner, just a few out of town relatives and close friends.  IL's hosted the dinner (traditional to do so) and naturally, asked us to come up with a guest list help with guest list.  Great, simple, easy.

Honey, you need to get over this. Nobody cares in the grand scheme of things. Let it go! 
So, night before our wedding in tiny, quaint little restaurant, imagine my surprise when there seemed to be chaos...waiters moving tables, bringing out entire place settings and chairs.  My own mother dissolved into tears the prior night, suddenly realizing that she had a small family of origin (duh...) and that "her family" wasn't adequately represented at the rehearsal dinner , so she went ahead and invited two couples, friends of hers, to make things "more even." No checking in with my ILs, no checking with me, the bride, no call ahead to the restaurant.  Thinking about this 15 years later and it makes me angry all over again.  Thanks, Mom. [/quote][/quote]
