Need a mom's advice

Hello Mom's!

I'm a bride, and i was hoping you would be able to help me out. My mom (who's paying for the reception only, which is totally fabulous that they're paying for anything) is someone who is very good at letting me pick out things such as a dress etc, no problem (typically this is the other way around) My mom is however, someone who asks me why i didn't get measurements of someone who wouldn't be with us at dress shopping, or flips out that one of my girls would be out of state, and the fact I used my FH's Sister. Or the fact that she was upset that one of my bridesmaid's wouldn't be able to make it shopping with us. I know that the larger a wedding party is, etc, the harder it is to get everyone in one place at the same time. This is just an example of what I've been dealing with, but it's not just the bridal party. I feel like if i'm not stressed out, and i'm ok with what's going on, why is she stressed out? I don't live at home, i've been living by myself since I graduated H.S. I'm now two years out of college, had my own apartment for 2 years, and I'm not exactly sure how to deal with my mom, and how to make things work. Because when she gets upset or tells me how she would do things differently, especially when i'm not upset myself, it gets me upset. Please help, or some advice on dealing with my mom would be great.

Thank you ahead of time!!

Re: Need a mom's advice

Sounds like the typical mom and daughter stress. Just try to be patient and all will be okay. Just remember that she wants everything to be perfect for you and that is how she shows it.
It will be okay.
