Help With a Bridezilla

You gave an account of a single day here. Is she always like this? Did she get enough sleep? Is she stressed about the wedding? Some people need a reality check at times. Nobody likes them (myself included) but just about everyone needs them at some point. Discuss this with her in private. Do it in a tactful but firm way. Her sense of humor about your pregnancy sounds a bit rude, but then again, that's the "sense" of humor, she's your friend, you know her. Maybe your hormones were a bit off & you took things a little the wrong way(single day info)? It is her wedding so as you stated give her the choice to make her wedding everything she wants it to be. It's HER wedding, let HER choose what SHE wants. She's a woman & women are different than guys, but I'm going to go ahead & assume the whole wedding ordeal means much more to the bride than the groom, try to keep that in mind too. Whatever you do or how you handle this, I'd keep it to a private discussion though.

Congrats on the pregnancy, get EVERYTHING ready for the baby now, no you're wrong, you won't have time to do that after the baby comes, trust me. It'll be BABY TIME, shitty diapers, midnight feedings, crying.....& all worth it, all of it. Also, FYI, the baby stuff will take up three times more closet space than you anticipate & a baby/toddler can only play with one or two toys at a time regardless of how overflowing the toy chest may be.

Good Luck with your friend & your pregnancy!!!!!

Morning Viperbunny,

   Best friends don't act that way, ever. It sounds like that mean comment was a way for her to "show off" in front of her bridal party. Joke or no joke, it was mean and distasteful and totally out of line. I am sure she knows how much this baby means to you, being that your best friends and all, so she really made a faux pa, a big one. I would be pissed and hurt for sure. And that remark about you opting out of her wedding was just another lousy crack.

If you two are certainly best friends, take her aside and ask her what that was all about. She will use the excuse that she is stressed out over the wedding, and that could very well be the truth. Remind her that she really hurt your feelings and her tasteless comment was was out of line. Nip it now before you invest any more money into her wedding. Weddings can be very costly for members of the bridal party as well as the bride.

Good luck with your new arrival.

As the years go by I have developed the opinion that once you get out of high school, most people don't do or say things for the express purpose of hurting someone. I think generally we're too busy living our own lives to waste the effort. So if you are offended it was probably not intentional. If you can accept that premise you can either ignore it and simply go on with whatever you are doing or do what BB said.

I'm glad it worked out for you doing it BB's way ---- she's so much smarter than me, anyway :-)

Hey Beeb, the snow finally melted enough to get out again?

Congrats Beeb.

I'm glad you did it,<3  but did you get your tractor back?:-S

Did you get any grief from that guy who had your tractor?

We probably should take this over to the comedy club or ?.
