So frustrating. Robs family hasn’t helped with our wedding AT ALL. Hasn’t offered to do anything or…

Someone have an allergy? Or a fear of dogs? That sucksss

My in laws and my own parents didn’t just volunteer to do things for our wedding, and they were respecting that it was our day to plan etc. That being said there were many things we asked them for help on like for example his parents make wine, so we had them make our table wine. My moms both helped with speeches and a slide show (because I asked) Granted maybe they don’t want to dogsit but I’m sure if you actually asked them for help they’d make an effort. I’ve learned with my in laws not to expect them to know when we need something, that we must communicate and ask. Hopefully if you can talk with them about it they will chip in :)

@beakymcspence, we have asked. They won’t contribute money which is fine but we’ve asked for help with decorating the hall the night before and making wedding favours and stuff and nope. They won’t

@neko86, no allergies. They just don’t want to I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

@maddoxsmama, Well I know my hubs parents couldn’t afford to contribute, but it sounds like your in laws are just being straight up a holes girl lol

@beakymcspence, yea haha. I understand that money is tight for them so it’s totally fine. But his family just doesn’t like me and I think that’s why they won’t help in anyway. They all have strong European personalities and I’m very soft spoken so I just don’t fit in with that family.

@maddoxsmama, They will need to learn to accept you if it’s important for them to have their son in their lives. I wasn’t liked by Darrell’s family in the beginning, but after their son told them he’d choose his wife, they made an effort. I have a great relationship with his parents now. Being European born myself I can say they can be aloof and not overly accepting at the best of times!

We eloped. Niagara falls. We were going there on holiday anyway, and decided to do it there. No regrets! Neither of us wanted a big wedding. We flew my mom out (he is from Ontario so his family was fairly close. 3hr drive). It was nice.

@beakymcspence, yea it’s tough! Lol it is what it is though. Just frustrated cause they were my last resort with the dog and now I’m gonna have to pay to board her somewhere

@megand15, yea part of me wishes we did that. But I also wanted my “big day”. My family has been fantastic and have helped financially and in anyway possible. 🤷🏼‍♀️ in the end it’s his family who looks bad by not helping with things

My in laws are the worst. My FIL said when we bought our house he’d give us a 400 dollar Home Depot gift card and that would be our wedding gift and we bought a house

Soon after.. only it’s not where he wanted so we didn’t get the gift card.. all my in laws did was complain about how far away the location was. We got married in Niagara where my

Family is from because I have a huge family and his family lives in cottage country so they just complained about having to drive and there’s

Only 5 is them.. they bitched none stop about everything. Maybe look into boarding the dog for the night. So you don’t have work up the courage and ask for help just to be turned down then feel shitty after

@michelletw, that’s awful! I have looked into boarding but I need to update her shots first which is going to cost 160$ 🙄

@maddoxsmama, have you tried rover? It’s a website and you can book people who will have your dog come to their home or they will stay at yours depending on your needs. It’s pretty cheap the people have their own prices but usually range from like $20-$50 a night.

@mimixtmn, thank you! I’ll check it out

@maddoxsmama, 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ girl I know how you feel! My soon to be in laws (getting married at the end of August) are the exact same way. We had to move suddenly a while ago and my parents did everything they could to help us .. they literally did nothing. Same thing with our wedding situation too 🤦‍♀️

@ntrudel11, it’s so frustrating. My parents are bending over backwards. They are hosting our rehearsal dinner and robs family didn’t even offer to bring anything. Like I would never go somewhere not ask if I could bring anything.

@maddoxsmama, I feel you! My parents are the exact same way .. I kid you not his parents haven’t even sent us back their RSVP.
