Punchie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 You know though, the future MIL does have some valid points regarding manners, like starting to eat before others or complaining that you don't have enough food on your plate. I also agree that making negative comments in public about your future family is not the wisest thing. I agree that she went about it in a non-mannered way though.

clarkacademy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I read that it's HORRIBLE!! The world was not there so we don't know what really happened, the soon to be mil sounds crazy but, I would really be put out by a guest who "told" me what she was going to eat. I wouldn't put up with that from my younger kids let alone my adult childs friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) The comments about the couple's choice of venue are some of the tackiest comments I have ever seen. Incredibly rude. I hope the future DIL is extremely forgiving or this MIL may have her time with her son and future grandkids limited. eta: I'm really not sure about the food comments. We don't know what it is she said she wouldn't eat. Maybe she's a vegetarian and was just letting them know, "hey, I don't eat meat." That is sort of what the comments imply to me. If you didn't offer anything a vegetarian could eat and it was more than a day long visit, then I could see mentioning it. Yeah, there are times one should keep one's mouth shut as a guest, but one should be reasonably accommodating to one's guests.

LauraGB Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 It's so hard to tell - without knowing these people and with how the media spins things to get the most from them, MIL *could* be an exasperated, frustrated woman at the end of her rope because potential DIL is rude, selfish and ignorant. On the other hand, MIL *could* be a screaming b****, and DIL might just be young and needs to gather wisdom. My guess is that it's somewhere in between. I find it incredible that this made the "news"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 There were some things that I agreed with her on (certain comments should not be made). There were other things that she could have assumed the worst and made a mountain out of a molehill (maybe the girl is a vegetarian or has sensitivities). Then there were things that were just ungracious and should never have been said nor attacked (her parents should have saved for her wedding? Many cannot do that in this economy. I do agree with being modest and having a wedding that one can actually afford, but does this woman know that they can or can't?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I read in the comments section that the future dil is a diabetic. That seems like a valid reason to have concerns about what foods she eats. I think the main thing is that the email betrayed the mil's lack of kindness. Yes, it's possible the bride-to-be lacked manners and is self-centered, but most young people have these same faults. As the older of the two, the mil could've have gently pointed out these things in a kind one-on-one conversation. Also, as far as being a guest in someone's house - I think it goes both ways but I think most of the responsibility lies with the host/hostess to make the guest feels welcome. The mil obviously wouldn't be happy with any young lady her son chose. Anyone have a link to the full text of the email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of "kids" these days are tacky, and I don't thrill to people who sleep in and hold everyone else up, but maybe, just maybe, dear step-son is looking for a woman different from Mum.

dangermom Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 If DIL-to-be has some issues with self-centeredness and such--as lots of young people do--MIL has far eclipsed her in rudeness by writing that email. Wow, that is just astonishingly rude. One of the central rules of good manners is that you don't call people out on their bad manners; you cope graciously or, as appropriate, cut them. (er. Not with a shiv. :D) I can think of several hundred better ways to cope with a prospective DIL you're not thrilled about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's Catholic and he's Jewish, so they had a Catholic/Jewish ceremony in the Catholic chapel. They had cocktails and receiving line on the terrace that overlooks the city and then a majordomo came out (in period dress) and rang a big bell a few times announcing dinner was served in the great hall. It was the most awesome wedding I've ever been to. Not tacky at all. As to the email...eh. I'd have to know both sides to really comment. Maybe the girl really is horrible. Maybe the foods she won't eat have nothing to do with her diabetes. I know a lot of people who simply proclaim they won't eat this or that just because it's trendy not to. I don't eat meat, but I don't "declare" I "won't" eat it. If we're at someone's house, I let them know before we come over that they don't need to accommodate me, but not to be offended if I don't eat something. I have texture issues, which is why I don't eat meat. Does anyone wonder why the girl forwarded the message on? I might have shown it to a friend or two in person, but I would NEVER have forwarded it. You can't control what someone else will do with it.

Don't talk about being diabetic? Don't sleep in late? Don't pay for your own wedding if your parents can't pay for it? Give me a break. Perhaps it shouldn't have been forwarded on, but I can't think of a more poetic justice than for a person's rudeness to be made very very public.

The stepmother feels that they are a family that are above (socially, financially, politically) the bride to be. The groom is being treated as though, because he's male, he's just an idiot that only thinks with his little brain, not his big one...so he can be excused. But you know, women should know what is what and how dare the DIL even think she's good enough for the family; surely she's a gold digger. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ester Maria Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Another one who is not feeling the love for the bride. Forwarding private messages to third parties without a darn good reason to do so (think abuse, security issues, etc.) is a HUGE, HUGE faux pas and I am afraid that it only proves the MIL's point - that the bride's adherence to certain tacit societal norms is significantly less than ideal. In my view it is a MUCH more serious thing than any kind of personal frustration email her MIL might have send and that should have been met with eye rolling and private giggling between the young couple, and then blissfully ignored, if one is so positive that there is no merit whatsoever in any comment received. I would actually, I were in the groom's shoes, rethink if I want to marry somebody whose self-control regarding involving third parties in family issues is so obviously so low that it is really debatable whether they could be trusted in some situations which matter a lot more than "who is being more rude and why" type of questions which arise now. These little everyday reactions show a lot about a person. It is an incredible lack of class to consciously bring about a situation which is going to create a media spectacle of a family member for something so silly, especially if it is about the family you are being married into. Airing the family's dirty lundry in public is a NO, NO, NO, under any circumstances which are not legally problematic (and those that are legally problematic should also be solved by other means and in private first), and involving your friends into it if they cannot be trusted is another huge NO, and even when they can be trusted, forwarding messages is just... NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family issues like this should stay within family. Not that I am excusing MIL's email (though I can think of worse ways to handle that, too), but I think the bride significantly "outperformed" her here.

Wow, wait until you hear what my SIL did, how would you react? I've vented to and/or asked advice from friends on *many* family matters. I would not consider that making it public fodder. Her friends who passed on the email did that. And yes, I would be incredibly upset at those friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
