Rehearsal Dinner Nightmare!
My future DIL is from a more well to do family than we are. We are very fortunate but cannot afford a caterer for this event so me and my sister-in-laws are doing the entire rehearsal dinner ourselves. We will do a great job! It is already at 57 people if you can believe that! We all live in a different city than my son and his wife to be so all along we have planned to use my son's kitchen as the small kitchen in the country club is not big enough. The country club kitchen will be utilized to keep some things cold and a few things warmed, etc. but not for the main cooking - the main cooking will be done at my sons home which is only about a mile from the country club. Well, my son just informs me that his future wife doesn't want us in the house at all! What? Where am I suppose to get all of this cooking done? He goes back to her with my question? Nope, we can't be in the house at all! Mind you this is my son's home for now, she has not moved in and won't until after the wedding! What am I to do? How should I handle this? I have no where to cook all this food! I am really angry!! This is NOT this first unreasonable stunt she has pulled!!

We have decided to do whatever is necessary to make it happen. Not for her but for my son. She is really ruining our relationship with her petty quirks. There is no good reason for us not to use his kitchen. After all, it is for them.

I did actually tell my son this earlier today and he got really upset. Of course, I didn't mean it. We will get through it like I'll order the baked potatoes from a local restaurant instead of baking them myself. She IS being ridiculous!!
