My mom has reached a new low

Schwandy

I will preface this by saying my mom is not a person you can really count on. However, I never, ever thought she would pull something like this.

My mom asked my little sister when she moved her wedding date to, and my sister told her that she would be doing it at the end of May so they had some more time and before the prices got to high.  My mom honest to goodness told her " Well if it's at the end of may I will be driving from FL to PA so I don't think I'll be able to make it."   WTF. My mom is retired and so is her boyfriend. They have a house in FL that they live in all winter and then driveto PA to his house for the summer time and spend their time RVing.

I am so hurt for my little sister and so angry with my mother.

Our dad died in May and we don't really have a lot of family left other than my mom, an aunt,uncle and my older sister. My aunt/uncle probably won't make it out the wedding (since she lives in CA and the wedding will be there) so if my mom doesn't come the only people from her family will be me and my older sister.  I just really can't believe she would do this to my sister.

That is horrible.  Can you talk to your mom?  I hope she changes her mind.

That makes me angry.  I'm sorry :-(

how does someone not make their schedule (whatever it may consist of) around their own daughters wedding day?!

That sucks, I can't believe she would say something like that. Is she serious?

futuremrscrocco

That's horrible.  Is there a way to talk to her before your sister finds out and you can tell her how much it will hurt your sister.  Maybe she'll change her mind.

I'm sorry maybe your mom will come around when your sister's wedding date comes closer... I hope!

Alison York

Wow.  Hopefully, she will change her mind.  With that said, your sister will never forget those words.  Horrible.

Methinks it is time to pick up some brochures from the crappy nursing homes in town and either leave 'em laying around for her next visit, or just mail them too her with a note that reads:

Your future if you are not at the wedding with bells on."

My thoughts exactly.  Selfish, selfish woman...

That is terrible. I hope you can talk some sense into your mother, or that she will realize how ridiculous she is being.

I agree with A&M though, that your sis won't forget that.  

Schwandy

Yeah, like I mentioned she's never been one that when something goes wrong I can call and count on her, but this is truely awful.  I plan on talking to her about it this weekend when I call her. She needs to understand how awful that is she said that and how hurt is makes my sister.

That's her daughter and if she called and told her she was gettting married in 3 days in vegas she should get on a plane and go. I know I would for her.

I may have to do this. Perhaps a nice nursing home brochure from  po-dunk USA will scare her a bit.

Yes!  Do this!  LOL

I am so sorry about that.  You should let her know that she is being selfish.  I would.  And my mother is a very selfish lady.  Good luck, I hope it all works out!

My mom didn't come to my wedding (she lives in the same city) and convinced half of the family not to come either.   It still hurts and probably will every time I look at my wedding photos and my dad is the only one in them.
