Am I wrong to feel irritated?

Probably going to sound really petty. My mom got engaged in feb, she’s starting planning her wedding and in so very happy for her, her fiancé is lovely. I’m a bridesmaid and we have recently been going to dress shops. She has tried nunberous amount of dresses on and has no confidence In herself, she’s a beautiful woman not even saying it because she is my mom. We go nearly every weekend and I don’t at all mind but it’s getting a bit repetitive. Also she knows I don’t drive so when she asks me to go with her she will ask me to walk to her work place or home to meet her then go straight to the shop, I’ve askd her if she would pick me up a few times and she has but had been a bit “off” about it, like she’s expecting me to keep walking to meet her. Saturday she asked if I could meet her outside of work as she needs to go straight to the dress shop for her apppibtment as it closes at 6 and she’d only have an hour to try a few on. It was dark outside and looked like it was going to piss it down so asked her to pick me up, she said fine and got me but was off again. I’m getting sick of it! Am I in the wrong here?

No you're not but where are you that it was dark on Saturday?

Not in uk obviously. It's 7.50 pm here and broad daylight

I meant the clouds were dark so looked like it was about to piss it down.

Honestly that would piss me off too. I tell her she needs to make a decision and you cannot keep going to different dress shops with her every weekend.

You need to up the trip..
Don't take your purse, insist you need lunch /tea out. Cake too!! Make it a costly trip and she will likely cut down on asking!

I think if it close enough to walk it can’t add much into her journey to pick you up so I think you are not unreasonable.

How many shops have you been to? I think you might have to be a bit more unavailable.

We’ve been to 6 so far. I really don’t actuslly mind going it’s just she’s so indecisive and doesn’t really know what she wants it seems none of the dresses are exactly what she wants. Which is fair enough it’s her wedding day and she wants to look and feel amazing. It’s just she asks me to go, I of course want to go and say yes then she expects me to get to her when she can drive. That is what is annoying me a bit. She makes me feel like I’m asking for a massive favour by saying yes I’ll come but can you pick me up on the way.

That would drive me spare. Expecting you to accompany her to each fitting is taking the piss especially if she can’t be bothered to pick you up.

By the time she actually finds ‘the’ dress you’ll be so over it, you won’t care what she chooses.

I feel sorry for the 6 shops who have given their time for £0 only for her not to buy. In my opinion she should stop looking for dresses as she has clearly seen too many and is suffering from dress fatigue!
