I get along with pretty much everyone, but right now there is someone mad at me for no fault of my own, just a misunderstanding (Her daughter was in our wedding and she paid more for her flower girl dress then the other two girls because the other two girls didn't get the dresses they were suppose to get in time and she couldn't return the dress so we just had to make due) She's my new sister-in-law and I want to make things right and explain that I never meant for this to happen. I've already offered to pay the difference in cost and everything, but she refuses to talk to me. What should I do?
I don't want there to be family tension. She won't talk to my husband about it either!
Any advice?
Flower Girl DRAMA!!?
Do you know the difference in the price? If so you could just mail her a check and then its up to her to cash it or not.
By the sounds of it you have reached out to her and she is being petty in not accepting your apologies and taking the money you offered. Alot of brides wouldn't have even done that!
Good luck!
Reply:You've done everything that you can, and as you will learn through out your marraige she might just being looking for reasons to not like you/make trouble.
All I can say is good luck, defend yourself when neccesary, make allies with other sane family members, and don't let her get to you.
Reply:The flower girl (or her parents) are not supposed to pay for her dress. The MOH and the bridesmaids are supposed to pony up and pay for them....
Reply:Your new sister-in-law sounds like a very stubborn woman, you could try talking to her again and again but most likely she isn't going to give in. She sounds childish and most likely this anger will diffuse with time. I can understand not wanted tension with your extended family - I've been there - but I can also be very stubborn and from my own mindset when I get like that I doubt your going to get anywhere no matter what you offer until your sister-in-law calms down and realizes how childish she is acting.
Reply:If she wont talk to anyone then there isnt much you can do. Have you tried talking to your husband's mom about it and seeing if she can help you out at all? That seems like a pretty childish thing to do on her part just over some money, even if you offered to pay her the difference. She will eventually forget about it all and be ok. I wouldnt worry too much.
Reply:send her a note apologizing for the misunderstanding and then let it go and stop worrying about it shes being unreasonable and childish if she comes and talks to you about it later great if not so what its on her now... good luck
Reply:It seems like you've already tried to fix the situation, you offered to pay the difference and you explained what happened. I guess you could go the extra mile and send a card offering up another apology or you could call and ask her out to lunch and once again explain yourself. Are you sure this is the only thing that's bothering her? Seems like she's taking this a little too seriously.
