[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 494595, member: 2315"] Witz, I do understand your hurt. It sucks that they treat us this way when we do not deserve it. (hugs) We paid for my difficult child#1 daughter's entire wedding. I was not invited to the dress thing either. She took her mother in law, her sister in law, her best friend, her husband's grandmother and her mother in law's best friend. Her mother in law wanted to buy her dress. That is fine but how does that exclued the mother of the bride from the event? I found out about it when she went for her first fitting. She also let her mother in law choose her color before me and mother in law chose the color I wanted (navy) and of which my daughter was aware. Then difficult child#1 nixed 7, yes seven of my choice of dresses two of which she said she liked and I ordered and I could not return as per bridal shop rules. I ended up buying my dress without her while visiting DE and telling her it was a done deal. It was a mere 6 weeks before the wedding and I had to get it done! She had a hissy fit! She disliked it without even seeing it. The day of the weddig she excluded me from the preparations which were at my easy child's house. At the last minute though she called to ask for my help because her friend who was doing everyon's hair and nails couldn't get the job done. When I got there easy child was in tears. Her hair looked lke a rat's nest all teased and not combed over properly and sprayed stiff. I fixed it but didn't have time to get it all up on top of her head so she had a partial updo with long curls going down the back. It was pretty but different than all the other bridesmaids. I also had to do my grand daughter's who was the flower girl. I too hate wedddings. I honestly tried to get her to just take the money and buy a house as I did her sister before her but both of them wanted the fairytale. easy child at least appreciated all that I did but difficult child? She didn't even send out thank you notes! [U][B]I[/B][/U] took alot of flack for that for years from my in-laws who then stopped inviting [B][U]ME[/U][/B] to family events.. UG! difficult child's and weddings are not a good mix. It feeds entitlement issues and their ME-ME-ME attitude turning them into selfish monsters. I am so glad all of that is in my past.
