Damn.
Is SHE gunna write all the thank you notes then?
A deceitful thing to do in terms of saying you would keep the gifts only to then take most of it. I think this should be an eye-opener for you going forwards in your relationship with her as MIL. Don’t make the same mistake twice. (I agree with you not taking the 3k).
You should ask for the mailing list to write thank you notes and then tell everyone what happened.
Agree, I think all those guests should know where their gifts actually went.
Wow...I'd draft a theft by deception lawsuit for the whole amount and send it her way. I'm not taking that laying down regardless of who it is and if I needed the money or not. People think they can do whatever they want anymore without consequences. Sorry toots, not so much.
Yikes. Take it as a lesson learned and do not trust her word going forward
Total is 10k and she gave us 3k at the end. Said she needs to pay for the banquet which costs 10k. I felt being fooled. I initially wanted to give her all the money but it should be coming from me giving it. Also felt my space is violated. How in the world did she think she is entitled to open the gifts and cards that were addressed to our names? It’s our wedding, not hers. I refused the 3k she offered. I’m not dying for 3k. What’s your thoughts ?
Before the banquet, I told my husband we should offer to give her the gift money to cover the cost and he said she has already set aside the fund to do this. She picked out all the courses and the restaurant so she knew how much it cost. It was pretty much like her wedding. So I was extra shocked by her behavior at the end of the banquet. If she changed her mind, she could have just asked us to help with the cost instead of acting like nothing had been discussed and this is the “cultural thing” should be. Speechless when she just came over and said she wanted to count the money from the guests and to give her all
of the envelopes🤣 what in the world . Husband said just let it go since it’s small amount anyways. I didn’t want to let this get in between him & me. Thanks everyone for the inputs. I thought I was the one that has problem 🤣🤣
I’m sorry this happened to you. For the health of your marriage I suggest you have am open conversation with your husband and tell him that it bothers you. That you respect her as his mother and you are aware that we don’t chose our parents and even though this did not involve a large amount of money, it has compromised trust. This will help prevent this from happening again, and it will help you reject any of her future sugestions.
Depends on the culture. Where I grew up the weddings are for parents. And that exact practice is very customary. I didn’t think anything of it when it happened to me as that was exactly what was expected.
Except there is an element of dishonesty in this. And if it’s a cultural thing, then that should be explained to the bride who does not share that culture.
😂😂😂😂 this is hilarious!!
What does your spouse think about this?
He thought we should help w the cost and that those guests aren’t our guests. But he could not defend her when I said those envelopes were addressed to our names & it was rude of her to open those. We talked abt this on the uber and driver just made a wise comment that he wasn’t gonna say who’s right or wrong, just forget about it and move on. Obviously I can’t let it go 😂 she normalized her behavior in a way that makes me think I might be the problem 😏
