While choosing a wedding dress, my mom complained about the prices

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.
