They invited us to come 22 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: visit and stay with them for a few days, and 23 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: we took them up on the offer. We flew in 24 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: yesterday and everything went well. Her dad and I watched 25 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: football while she caught up with her mom and sisters, 26 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: and then we had a really nice dinner. But things 27 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: went south at the end of the night when it 28 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: was made clear that they didn't want me sharing a 29 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 3: bed with my wife while in their home, and that 30 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 3: they expected me to sleep on the couch. I honestly 31 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: thought they were joking at first, but they insisted we 32 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: sleep separately. I had a problem with the implication that 33 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: I shouldn't be allowed to sleep next to my wife, 34 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 3: and I also have a bad back, and the couch 35 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 3: did not look the least bit comfortable, and they don't 36 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 3: have a guest room. After arguing back and forth for 37 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: a bit, I decided to leave and book a hotel. 38 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: I told my wife she didn't have to come with me. 39 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: She chose to stay, and I said i'd come back 40 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: the next day. I went off to a Marriott about 41 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: ten minutes away and got a good night's sleep, trying 42 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 3: to not let the whole situation bother me. This morning, 43 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: I called my wife asking when I should come by. 44 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: She told me her parents want me to apologize for 45 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: leaving the way I did. I told her that I'm 46 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: willing to apologize to keep the peace, but they need 47 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 3: to acknowledge that it wasn't appropriate to insist I can't 48 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: share a bed with my own wife. She said she'd 49 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: talk to them and call me back. About ten minutes later, 50 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: I hear back from her and she tells me that 51 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: not only they not apologize for it, they are now 52 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: insisting I need to come back and stay on the 53 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: couch for the rest of the visit, and if I 54 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: don't agree to this, I'm not welcome back in the house. 55 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: I'm pretty livid at this point. 56 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: I told her that there's absolutely no chance that I 57 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: will do that, and I am no longer willing to 58 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: offer any sort of apology. 59 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: My wife's sisters. 60 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: Are now bothering me, saying this is just the way 61 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: their parents are, that my wife is very upset and 62 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: that I need to give in and stay on the 63 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: couch for the rest of the trip before this turns 64 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: into some sort of family feud. From my perspective, I 65 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: don't care what they think, and I'm willing to treat 66 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: the rest of the strip as a solo vacation, go sightseeing, 67 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: and meet my wife back at the airport at the 68 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 3: end of the week. 69 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: Am I the a hole and there is an. 70 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: Update doing that.

It 102 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: was interesting, to say the least. After we sat down, 103 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: I leaned into them a bit about what had happen. 104 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: I asked my wife if she knew her dad was 105 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: going to demand we sleep separately, and she said she 106 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: was surprised by it as well. She'd expect that if 107 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: I were still just her boyfriend, but we're married now. 108 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: I then asked them all if they thought it was 109 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: okay for their parents to act the way they did. 110 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: They said it wasn't, but they know their father and 111 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: it's best to just let things like this go. This 112 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: led to a somewhat uncomfortable conversation about how controlling he 113 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: can get, how he angers easily when he doesn't get 114 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: his way, and that he was already throwing a fit 115 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: over me disrespecting him by leaving.

I then 153 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: asked if they thought this was even about house rules, 154 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: because it seemed more like their dad was just trying 155 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 3: to show me who was in charge. They agreed up 156 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: to this point, I had really done everything I could 157 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: to not escalate the situation, but I started to get 158 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: really mad that they were all so afraid of how 159 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: their dad would react.

Yeah, it's 189 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: like I'm not sleeping on a couch. I'm like forty five. 190 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 4: This is stemming from like who's in charge, this is 191 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 4: my house, this is my rules, but it should also 192 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: be like you're a guest and there should be mutual respect, 193 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 4: and it seems like there it's not there.

Kind of 204 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: thing like I dad should have been discussed with your wife. 205 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 4: I don't know. Very interesting. 206 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, now I feel like this is going to cause 207 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: even more problems. They don't get to go on trips much, 208 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: so I figured they'd be excited to get a. 209 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: Free vacation away from their parents. 210 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: They know that their dad is probably going to freak 211 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 3: out when they leave, but I think they realized this 212 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: situation had gone too far, so they decided they would 213 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 3: come and deal with. 214 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: The fallout afterwards. 215 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 3: Oh okay, so everyone's going.

My wife 218 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: and her sisters are coming down in a separate car 219 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: after their parents leave for work. I fully expect their 220 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 3: dad to throw a can fit when he finds out 221 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: they left without telling him, but I really don't care 222 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: at this point. I tried to be the bigger person 223 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: at every turn, but he pushed this all way too far. 224 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: Thanks again to everyone for all the insight. 225 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 2: I ah, no, I wanted to know what it was good. 226 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: This is going to cause so much tension, and like you're, you're, you're, 227 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: you gotta do it. You're like, you know what, I'm 228 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 4: gonna make him mad, and I don't care what the 229 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: outcome is because he's not in charge of my life. 230 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: I'm not in charge of his life. But his daughters, 231 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: you know, they're adults. They can make decisions and looks 232 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 4: like they're going with the decision of like Dad doesn't 233 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 4: control us anymore, or at least we'll see what happens 234 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: after this. I don't know. I feel like there's a 235 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 4: lot going on here.

Oh, 305 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 4: he continues, saying, I felt awful. I took his plate 306 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: and threw it out, then ate my portion as I 307 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: was about to put the plate in the dishwasher. He 308 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: got home looking angry, saying his mom lied about cooking 309 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 4: that favorite meal, and he used it as an excuse 310 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: to force him to eat dinner with her. I was shocked, 311 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 4: but he sat down, telling me to go ahead and 312 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 4: reheat dinner. I told him, no, there's no dinner. After 313 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: he abandoned it, I threw it out. He said what, 314 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: And I told him he disrespected my time and effort 315 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 4: and chose to go eat with his mommy instead. He 316 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 4: began yelling at me, asking if I really did that, 317 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 4: then called me petty and horrible, then went upstairs saying 318 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: that what I did was a hundred times worse than 319 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: what his mom did. I definitely feel like I let 320 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: my anger and frustration get the best of me, but 321 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 4: it really felt unbearable having to live like this for 322 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 4: so long. Had to add to make one thing clear, 323 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 4: and that's the fact that my husband only does this 324 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 4: when it comes to food. He lived with his mom, 325 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 4: he attended community college and loved and still loves her 326 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 4: food and is used to it. She gave me recipes 327 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 4: to make and I try to do that, but he 328 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: keeps switching homes just to eat what he feels like. 329 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 4: And we got an update. I don't care if this 330 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 4: is the kindest man you know, if he's treating you 331 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 4: like this when it comes to food, it don't matter. 332 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: That's still being treated crapply. 333 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: I love making meals for people. 334 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: So if I, like specifically, was making a meal for 335 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: someone and then they purposely were like, oh well my 336 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: mom made like my favorite so I'm gonna go eat that, 337 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 3: I would be absolutely crushed. 338 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, like one hundred percent. I mean like, when my 339 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: mom comes to town, she'll cook dinner for the Koda 340 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: myself Carly.

It's showing your appreciation, but she's doing it 343 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: as a competition. And like she's upset that you took 344 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: her son away from her. Obviously, I don't know. He's 345 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 4: a mom's boy. He's not worth it. This sucks. Have 346 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 4: him cook for you for once. 347 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: That's true. 348 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: I would be like, okay, then you cook something like 349 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: if you don't like my cooking, or if you have 350 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: something to say, you know. 351 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: But the thing is he probably wouldn't. He'd be like, well, 352 00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: I'll just go over my mom. 353 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 5: Then he hayes. 354 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 4: You know what, guess what, Bring your mom over here, 355 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 4: let her cook dinner for both of us. Then yeah, 356 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: if you want her cooking so bad, have your mom 357 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 4: live with us. But you know what, I don't want that, 358 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: So just live with your mom. But we have an update. Hi. 359 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 4: I posted my situation here almost twenty four hours ago 360 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 4: and haven't really read every single comment because wow, there's 361 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 4: just too many. I saw a few pieces of advice 362 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: and encouragement, and I'm so thankful for them, But just 363 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 4: wanted to let you guys know something. Since this is 364 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 4: a throwaway account and I will be abandoning it soon, 365 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: I just want to let you know that I will 366 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 4: be sitting down with my husband soon after he breaks 367 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 4: the silence. I'm just giving him the space he said 368 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 4: he wanted, and I'm going to show him this post 369 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 4: in hopes he'd see how none of this was my fault. 370 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: I mean, hopefully this conversation does open his eyes and 371 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: he should take full accountability and responsibility of being just 372 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 4: like a little baby boy. But if this is how 373 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 4: he acts, and I don't know, if he, I don't know. 374 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: I would definitely like put some boundaries up for you know, 375 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: mother in law, as in like i'd be like, listen, 376 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: I know, like your mom, Like you know, you guys 377 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: love each other, and you know she's right down the road, 378 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: you know whatever. But I don't think it's necessary that 379 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: she calls every single night and wants to know what 380 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 3: cooking and then compares it to what she's cooking. Like 381 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: I just feel like there's an unnecessary competition happening between us, 382 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 3: and I don't want to feel bad about not cooking, 383 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: you know, your favorite meal every night or not, you know, 384 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: cooking something up to your mother's standards, Like that's not 385 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. That's just a lot of pressure on 386 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: OPI for no reason at all, Like, you know, if 387 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: she's the if that's like her job in the relationship 388 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: is to like, you know, cook the stuff then like yeah, cool, 389 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: but like it shouldn't be a competition because like that 390 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 3: just mays it's just gonna make her feel bad all 391 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: the time because obviously, you know, you grew up with 392 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: what your mom cooks and lull all this stuff. And 393 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: Opie's trying to, you know, figure this out and be like, oh, yeah, 394 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 3: like I made you know, like visualized tonight or something, 395 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, like, well myma made like all 396 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving dinner, so I'm gonna go over there, like I 397 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 3: don't know, that's just disrespectful. 398 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I agree. This is he's a man baby 399 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 4: and he needs to learn and grow up, and if 400 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 4: he doesn't leave him, that's it. Oh, let's go ahead 401 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 4: and finish up the story. I will be pushing for 402 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 4: couples counseling, although he's always been against it. But we'll 403 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 4: see how things go. I'm not gonna lie. I still 404 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 4: feel upset and like my efforts aren't being appreciated. His 405 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 4: mom is definitely onto something with her little upsetting stunts. 406 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 4: I realize how important boundaries are, but I also realize 407 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 4: how enforcing can be difficult. I'm hoping and praying that 408 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 4: we will tackle this issue so that our marriage won't suffer. 409 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 4: But if he's still somehow unable to do his part, 410 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 4: then that's on him. And I'm no longer willing to 411 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 4: go through similar stuff and just take it, you know. 412 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 4: So yeah, this is it. Thanks so much. That's theame 413 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 4: of that story.

But like 416 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 4: one time makes sense. But it's like it seems like 417 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 4: every time you cook, he just goes over to her 418 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: place and just doesn't care You're not being appreciated. 419 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 3: It's just blatant disrespect of just like this is something 420 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 3: that I'm doing for both of us, and you are 421 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 3: just completely disregarding and be like, m there's something better. 422 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: Waiting for that makes me feel great.

Children are welcome at 473 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: the ceremony and the early dinner we're having, but not 474 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 3: for the party afterwards.

My fiance and I have been firm 482 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 3: on the stance that no children would be allowed in 483 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 3: the reception, and she is fully aware of the on 484 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: site childcare. We have booked a separate room in the 485 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 3: hotel especially for this purpose. However, she is adamant that 486 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 3: Chloe stay with her. If it was just me and 487 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 3: my fiance, it wouldn't be too much of a big deal. 488 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: We can handle her. 489 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: However, she has begun hounding my future mother in law, 490 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: whom I get on with really well, and has even 491 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: begun messaging my mother on Facebook to try and get 492 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: them to convince the two of us to let Chloe 493 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 3: be at the reception. This is not okay with me 494 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: or with my fiance. Neither one of our mothers are 495 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: in the best of health and they don't need the 496 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: stress She either doesn't realize or doesn't care that if 497 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 3: we allow her daughter to attend the reception, we have 498 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: to allow all the children to attend, and we wanted 499 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 3: to allow the parents to have a fun time in 500 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 3: the evening. Even my son isn't going to be at 501 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 3: the reception. We don't see them often. However, last Sunday, 502 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 3: we were all at my future in laws for lunch 503 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: and so the kids could see each other, and she 504 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: decided to bring it up. She decided it would be 505 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: a good idea to try and corner me in the 506 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: kitchen to try and change my mind. Once again, I 507 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 3: reiterated that there would be no children at the reception, 508 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 3: and well, this didn't go down well. I swear she 509 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 3: was close to throwing a grown up tantrum.
