[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 438932, member: 1514"] I worried so badly about Jamie's mother in law when he was first introducing me to Billie's mom and her step-father. It was at their baby shower and I didnt know a soul except him and Billie and it was this big affair and I couldnt afford to do much either. It shocked me that they didnt even ask me. I couldnt have been more pleased when I met her though. She was so much nicer than her daughter...lmao. I miss her now that she has died. Sniff. Sniff. In your situation I would do as some of the others have said. I certainly wouldnt stress out as much and try to give more financially than I could afford. Really, the parents of the groom are only responsible for the rehearsal dinner historically. Brides and their moms do seem to be the more gung ho parties in weddings...just watch a few episodes of Bridezilla. I cant imagine being told what to wear. There would be a good chance that I would have to wear what I could find in my size because it is very difficult to find something appropriate for me. I cant just say, oh I want lavender in mid calf length. It all depends on what is available at Lane Bryant...lol. I like the idea of the setting up something for babysitting the kids but I think that would also mean young children, not teens. Most teens of say 14 and up are old enough to attend a wedding I would think. But maybe not... I do realize that you are going to have hurt feelings over this and it will be something you are going to have to take time to get over. I do. I realize since you said there is a baby coming that you are now worrying about what your roll is going to be there also. That is going to be tough too. If your son cant step up and help bring you into the fold, its going to be a difficult situation. I hope that this blows over and eventually your family's merge happily. [/QUOTE]
