Posted here because no idea what to do really. We are planning our wedding though admittedly not got far yet. Mil can sometimes be brilliant but so far has been very insistent on bringing the wedding in conversation and insisting how we do things. I note that at no point have pil offered any financial contribution (I'm fine with this just pointing out that that's not the reason she's set on having more of an imput).
We already have children and don't want anything huge at all but she keeps making reference to our children and other people's ( even though there will only be a handful of well behaved kids there and it's over a year away) about how some adults will be really unimpressed if kids are there as they will spoil the day and piss off the other adults.
She's usually really lovely but keeps trying to bring up any plans and suggest things we definitely have to do or can't possibly do as they won't suit her or people that don't like children. What I feel like saying is if people don't like my children, I don't want them there. They are really good kids but I don't want to fall out with her.
Is there anything small I can give her to take control of to stop her joyriding our day or is that a bad idea. Is there anything I can say to stop her being bitter about me having a child friendly wedding. I really want a family friendly day where everyone gets along but she gets so nasty when we don't full on agree with her plans. We don't like talking about it around her and it's becoming really awkward
