My Mother... tyrogers: We all know that I have had issues with my mom for a while now. Short recap, she thinks I am stupid, that I do not know how to raise my children, that I need her for everything, that I am incompetent as far as everything, speaks her mind (granted, I do too) and bitches constantly. Could be because I DO stand my ground and ignore her when she starts on one of her rants....anyway.....
I sent her an email with the links to the two dresses I am DEFINITELY trying on and asked her opinion. I also asked, since she is a seamstress, if it needs to be taken up in the waist (yes, mine is small) and boobs (yes, mine are small), would she do it for me so that I would not have to rush the store and so that she could get it perfect for me.
WELLLLLL
To my surprise, she said she would fix it for me if I needed her too AND she said they were both very pretty. She also stated that our wedding pics in front of the Falls (and us framing one for her) would be too pretty.
WTF?
This is a weird feeling. I love my mother more than anything and do not know what I would do without her. However, I am SO accustomed to her "doubting" or "objecting" to everything I do that.....I don't know.....it just hits my heart even harder that she is so nice/accepting/complimentary about all of this. I almost want to cry. I KNOW she will cry when she sees it on me, because, I am the first (of my mother and my two sisters) to ever wear an ACTUAL wedding dress. So, I guess I should prepare myself for a sobfest. ::) I can handle it. It is nice. Warms my heart.
Sometimes, the little things are the most important.
Oh well. I have rambled enough.

Re: My Mother... amola: isn't it amazing how they can just pop up out of nowhere and be nice? my mother is the same way....very negative and seemingly unsympathetic of anything that does not directly affect her. so when she shows some sort of caring, it's almost scary....
you're right though....the little things are the most important. cherish those things!
love you!
Re: My Mother... Bubba: Does she know who you are getting married to?? She may not be so nice once she knows!
Re: My Mother... Shanna: BBH, my mom is like that, too. So if she does anything nice I think oh sh!t how is she going to use this against me later. Sorry you have one of *THOSE* kind of moms, too. The bright side....teaches us how NOT to be as a mother.
PM or IM or EMAIL me the two dresses I wanna see!!!!!
XOXOXOXO
