\u201cWhy are you wearing that?\u201d I asked through clenched teeth. She smiled sweetly. \u201cIt\u2019s a family tradition. The mother of the groom always wears white.\u201d That was the first I\u2019d heard of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I got married, my mother-in-law insisted on helping plan every detail. On the day of the wedding, she showed up wearing a white gown almost identical to mine. I was furious but tried to keep my cool for the sake of the day.\n\u201cWhy are you wearing that?\u201d I asked through clenched teeth. She smiled sweetly. \u201cIt\u2019s a family tradition. The mother of the groom always wears white.\u201d That was the first I\u2019d heard of it.\nLater, my sister pulled me aside to tell me she overheard my MIL bragging that she\u2019d done it to \u201cshow who the real queen of the family is.\u201d My husband was livid when he found out, and we spent the reception avoiding her. To this day, she pretends she did nothing wrong.\n\nWhen I announced my pregnancy, my MIL was ecstatic. She kept buying baby clothes, toys, and even diapers, saying she wanted to \u201cbe prepared.\u201d When we were visiting her, she showed us a beautifully set-up nursery.\n\u201cThis is where the baby will stay,\u201d she said. Confused, I replied, \u201cWhen they stay over occasionally, right?\u201d She laughed, like I\u2019d said something ridiculous. \u201cNo, no, the baby will stay here full-time! I\u2019ve already told my neighbors I\u2019ll be raising them.\u201d\nI was furious and told my husband, who was just as shocked. He confronted her, but she didn\u2019t back down, claiming she was only \u201cdoing what\u2019s best\u201d for the baby. We\u2019ve since set strict boundaries, but I still don\u2019t trust that she won\u2019t try to interfere once the baby is born
