I seriously love my mother in law and have never had an issue with her, but I just got a phone call from my husband…

my husband does the same thing he always forgets to tell his mom things and then she gets on me about it but my mother is amazing

Just send out invites through email. They're being childish honestly. My family doesn't do for invitations unless it's a wedding.

@mom47172, It's so frustrating. My mom is literally my best friend and she has been the one taking care of it all so I only asked him to remind his family. He comes from a tiny family while I have a massive family. I don't have the time to chase everyone around and make sure they remember when things are.

yup I know what u mean I didn't know who all was coming to my wedding bc his family is big and mines small and me calling everyone and taking care of a 2 year old was frustrating and I had to do if all he didn't call his mom till 12 days before the wedding

@bellahali, I don't even have any of their information. I asked him forever ago to talk to them and apparently he didn't. But what confuses me is that we literally had a discussion about everything last weekend. So I'm not sure how she could possibly not know.

That is frustrating, we have family like that. I have found that if there is that one person that wants the written invitation, I just grab a cheap card that is along the lines of whatever and hand write an invitation specifically for them. This way I am not spending a fortune on pointless invitation and postage.

Maybe just make her something special, maybe she wants a keepsake

@wannaboyplz, She told him the only thing she wanted was to be notified. I feel bad because I know that this is her first grandchild too, so I want her to be a part of everything. I have over 20 aunts and uncles and he only has two. She's told him that she is intimidated by the fact that I have such a huge family that wants to be there for it all too. I feel bad for her because I know she has anxiety, but I love my family and we are all extremely close so I want them there for things. She admitted that she backed off because she didn't want to seem too pushy, even though I've never felt that way about her. I just feel bad because I think she's embarrassed by everything and I want to talk to her about it but I don't want to make her any more uncomfortable.

@alexalexa, I think maybe if you just meet her for lunch or something or invite her to go window shopping and let her know you love her and that she is important, that all will be good and that it may not be needed to bring it up. just show her you love her and want her involved :)

@wannaboyplz, good idea. I think another thing she is having a hard time with is the fact that she doesn't have any daughters or sisters and every girl he was with before me was rude and wanted nothing to do with her. So I definitely think making it a point to meet up with her will make her feel better. Thanks!

@alexalexa, you are most welcome. I ran into soemthing similar myself with my last pregnancy
