How helful should the mother of the bride be?
546553
If the parents of the bride are paying than she feels like she needs to be involved with everything.  But if not, she shouldn't have any say so in the matter.  She shouldn't of acted the way she did if it was her "baby's" day.  She should of behaved herself and let everyone enjoyed themselves without her crying and whining.

Wow,,, that does sound pretty disgusting the way you worded it.  It often appears that the mother in law and daughter always seem to have competition going on.  I am not really sure why and it getting rather old.  You and this quy have been together 20 plus years and there is still tension between the 2 women he so obviously adores.  Being a woman you know how to add fuel to the fire or put out the flames...Try taking the higher road and leave it be.  I have another tool you could use as well... It is called PRAYER... the most powerful tool out here.  God sees all that is going on and He knows how you feel about it.  He also knows how your husband feels as well.  Can you imagine how excited he will be to see his 2 favorite girls interacting without foolishness.  Pray about it and leave it be...

Generally, very good. Boys tend to look for their moms in a younger version. I'd take it as a huge compliment.

A husband should carry his bride over a pan of burning coals when entering his home for the first time so she will have a successful labour. \n\nOnce pregnant, the woman has to be careful in thoughts and actions as it is believed everything she sees and does will influence her unborn child. Reading beautiful poetry and stories is good but gossiping, laughing loudly and getting annoyed aren't. And sex is absolutely forbidden during pregnancy. \n\nChinese women pregnant women must be more careful than most. There is a belief that if she eats food that's not properly cut or mashed, her child will have a careless disposition. Or that if she eats pale foods, the baby will be fair-skinned. \n\nPregnant Chinese women should never attend funerals. They should, however, sleep with knives under their bed to ward off evil spirits. Baby showers are always held after the birth for superstitious reasons. \n\nA month before the due date, the maternal grandmother will send a package of clothes to her daughter called "tsue shen", which means hastening delivery. A white cloth inside the package is for wrapping the newborn inside. The maternal grandmother will then wait for three days after the birth of her grandchild to visit, bringing with her clothes and baby equipment!\n\nIt is also common for Chinese women to drink a strong herbal potion to help ease labor pains. A woman will typically undergo her labor in an armchair or futon and, once the baby is born, she will pray to the goddess who helped her conceive, offering her sweet meats and incense.\n\nAfter the baby is born, there is a well-established postnatal practice called "doing or sitting the month." During this time, a new mother does not leave the home and can stay in bed the whole time, if she wishes, to rest. Traditionally, she should have an assistant to accompany her during this period - usually the mother-in-law.

Hire a gigolo for them.  Obviously you're not man enough for even one wife.

My life partner and I are an interesting mix between the two.  I look more like a guy, short spikey hair, sometimes people mistake me for one.  My partner is the beautiful, medium lenght haired girl.  She has a son, and was previously married.  So, by appearances, I'm butch and shes femme.  However, I play a more mothering role than she does for her son.  She acts more like a father to him than a "typical" mother.  She is more like the man who sits in front of the TV or computer all night.  I play housewife and cook dinners, get her things when she asks, but she cleans the house and does laundry.  And, when we have another baby, i am the one who wants to carry it.  I cant imagine going through life as a woman and not experiencing what could possibly be the most wonderful thing in the world... having a child growing inside you.  But, if we were to ever get married, Id be the one in the tuxedo (no dresses for me!) and she would wear the dress.  Go figure!

stay with the other woman. You owe nothing to your wife, and I actually think it would be unhealthy to go back to her. It may hurt your son that he can't be with his real mother, but he needs to be under the supervision of a responsible female guardian, not just the woman that gave him birth....

"Various Reasons"  I will trust you when you say none of them are serious.  If I were you, I would put my foot down once and for all.  Tell your Mom and your sister, be nice about it but firm,  that you do not appreciate their back stabbing regarding your wife-to-be.  Tell them you love them all, but you are not going to put up with any more of it.  And if they love you, they will have to make the effort to accept her as well, because YOU love her and that should be reason enough.  Tell them that disrespecting HER is like disrespecting YOU.  And you do not want them to do it anymore.  If they are reasonable people, they will listen and abide.  If they are not, I would simply make myself scarce when it comes to visiting your mother and sister.  Harsh as it may sound, they will get the message and eventually lighten up on your beloved.  CONGRATS on your upcoming wedding and GOOD LUCK!!

Nope, the bridal shower is traditionally given for the bride by her bridesmaids.  Not the future mother-in-law.  \n\nYou also should be have a say in where the rehearsal dinner is at.  A BBQ, with lots of icy' buckets of drinks...do it in red and white checkered.\n\nShow her fun and family don't have a price tag.

Some jitters and questioning are normal and I do not think you are over the top on that. There are things you may want to change about yourself by not nagging as much. All men are moody and only you know if you will be happier with him. The mother in law issue could bring real unhappiness and she is way over the top. I have to ask myself why he would tolerate her screaming at you. You are marrying a family as well as your husband.

Unless she specifically asked that no one wear white at all you should be fine.  The outfit you described doesn't sound like an outfit that would take away from a bride wearing all white.

Oh dieties are beyond having conflict. Sure it is fine. I have both Kali and Amma on my altar, actually they both compliment each other as Amma also has the Kali aspect to herself. They both are Divine Mother aspects.

Son's DO NOT owe their mother's anything besides love and respect...even though it doesn't sound as if she's too deserving of the respect!  Thank God your fiancee sees what's going on.  Yeah, you would think that at her age she would have reached a certain level of maturity...apparently not.  If she can't control herself she's out of the picture.  Stand your ground!!
