Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

Don't mess with Texas

Today, my fiancé expressed concern for her mother's health and a desire to be with her in Texas. I called her mother, who is 69 years young and will outlive us all, and it came up that her brother's BFF, who my fiancé has been crushing on since she was a tween, just got divorced and moved back to Texas.

Mama's boy

By vacay no way - 14/07/2021 06:01

Today, I was asking my husband to help me finalize plans for our upcoming vacation. He, however, would rather pout and sulk because I don’t want him to bring his mom along. She’s been with us on our last few trips and it’s hard to get any alone time. I’m considering just going alone at this point. FML

You've always known he's a Mama's Boy, but you accepted his marriage proposal anyway. His suggestion is just one more example of his inability to cut the apron strings. Think twice before taking your wedding vows to make sure you can handle having his Mom so involved in your relationship.

If it were me, I would probably go apeshit. For him to even suggest it, seems disturbing and ignorant. Hasn't he considered the fact that the whole point of a honeymoon is for the newlyweds to enjoy eachother as husband and wife... With the exclusion of all others? NO MOTHER IN-LAWS!

what!? you didn't want his mother to come on your honeymoon?? BECAUSE SHE WAS ELDERLY!?!? This is age discrimination at large and you probably would owe her an apology if she read this FML and got hurt feelings!

what's more romantic than that? this guy's an old school romantic. nothing beats the "bring ma to the honeymoon" play. it's a personal favorite in my romance play book.

Today, I woke up really early before my mom so I could make pancakes for Mother's Day. I placed everything on a tray and even picked a flower, had a card for her and took it to her bedroom. She said, "You shouldn't have, pancakes are fattening." She took one bite and fed the rest to the dogs. FML
