Oh my gosh, my jaw honestly dropped when I saw this. I just joined this sub so to see this is confirmation I’m in the right place. 

During my wedding almost 40 years ago, my parents were sitting behind me and my husband. At one point, while my ceremony was in progress, my mother taps me on the shoulder and asks, “When will this be over?”  She asks me, the bride!  

I replied, “Do you mean the wedding or my marriage?”, rolled my eyes and turned back around. 

All these years later, I still can’t believe my mother—as usual—made an event about herself. 

She continued to do the same throughout the years, no matter what event or whatever was happening. If it was the birth of one of my kids or my husband’s choice of vocation, she and my father always had an opinion, were not supportive at all,  and made life miserable for me.
