This is YOUR Party!
Quote From: qqqhhhThis isn't your M-i-L's party. It's YOUR party for YOUR son.
Ban the alcohol if you want to! Don't serve ANYTHING you don't want to!
If you want to explain why, that's fine or if you choose not to, that's fine too.
She can scoff and roll her judgmental eyes all she wants, but it doesn't change the fact that it's YOUR house, YOUR son, and YOUR party.
If it bothers you, don't let it go.
If it's worth it, try and meet her in the middle somewhere.
Q I agree with grrrhh! I wanted to add that If you and your husband don't set up boundaries with your MIL she will try to control every other party or gathering you have. I have had the same problem with my inlaws and are still having problems after 25 years! Your inlaws are in it for the long haul! When your husband agrees with you and voices so it, will help to reinforce your boundaries.
