Yesterday we went to try on wedding dresses, and I tried on a few beautiful models. But my mother constantly complaining to the store staff, saying things like ‘How can anyone afford these prices? You can’t even have a wedding’ really bothered me. If she were just talking to me, it would be fine, but saying this in front of everyone stressed me out. My husband and mother have very different views on this matter. Every time I try to buy something, this argument starts all over again. What do you think I should do about my mother, or how can I soften this issue?
I had something similar happen to me, my mom also used to get hung up on prices. Not in the store, but when she got home, she explained at length how unnecessary she found it all. When you talk face-to-face, that anger tends to fade more easily, give it a try 
How many times has it happened? Does he/she behave like this all the time or is the problem specific to this issue?
@cokdaseyapma this isn’t just limited to yesterday. the same thing happened during the engagement shopping too. it feels like we’ll get criticized for any spending once we get married 
@soncaykaldi no, man, I don’t think it can be solved by talking, it’s become a habit. Mothers don’t complain about it, anyway; the only person thinking about money in that house is her, so keep your feet on the ground a little.
As a wedding planner, I often encounter this; generational conflict regarding these kinds of expenses becomes quite serious. The situation shouldn’t get personal; draw a clear line saying, ‘this is our choice’ before the argument escalates.
But you haven’t opened the topic fully in the title? Is your mother paying for it or are you, whose budget is involved? These are important details.
I think you’re wasting your breath while arguing.
Come on, is he doing it in front of the store employees too? I would totally freak out.
