I''m very sorry, but I need to vent. Yes, again.
Recap:
Recently, FMIL wanted her precious younger son to stay with us on and off. As some of you know, our wedding is upcoming and we need the time together. Also, we have a no-guest policy (we live in New York). We said "no," and she screamed at us, calling us "selfish" and insinuating that I was brought up that way (which I find offensive to my parents). Last weekend was FFIL''s birthday. I really didn''t want to go (I have bad GERD and was so stressed out that my doctor advised me against going). But, because FI expressed that my going would mean a lot to him, I went.
Report:
Things went more or less smoothly. Per FI''s request, FMIL didn''t bring up our no-guest policy. BUT, there was no mention whatsoever of our wedding next week. And, they kept referring to our future honeymoon as a "vacation." How would you respond?
P.S. I sent a conciliatory e-mail after the no-guest fracas and received no reply.
