Many mother-in-laws want to take a hands-on approach with special events in their daughter-in-laws' lives. Though their intentions might be pure, they often get exceptionally pushy and tend to do things the way they desire rather than taking others' desires into account.
Sometimes, some MILs do not have the purest intentions—you can usually tell the difference. When you decide to voice your own opinion on a wedding venue, they start guilt-tripping you about how they were "just trying to help" and they "wanted it to be special." The woman in this story has dealt with her MIL for four years, ever since the woman refused to let her choose a wedding venue. In retaliation, her MIL threw a rehearsal dinner that was distastefully fancy and nothing like what the woman envisioned for her special wedding weekend. The woman expresses that the tension between the two never completely dissipated.
The woman is now a fresh mom, and her MIL is already planning out her baby's "half birthday" celebration. The venue her MIL selected is not handicap accessible, which is a dealbreaker for the woman as her mother is in a wheelchair. She puts her foot down, but the MIL is attempting the same guilt-tripping tactics she used four years ago. The woman's husband is neutral, and commenters are urging the woman to have a serious conversation with him about their next steps. Scroll to read.
