I'm with ya!!

Quote From: saemae

I gotta agree with one of the other posters.  There is a BIG difference between gossip and truth.  Gossip is a false statement meant to cause harm to another.  TRUTH is something that actually happened.  Your dad could NOT keep his "shrinky dink" in his pants DURING HIS MARRIAGE!  Therefore, he got his MISTRIESS pregnant!  What part of that is gossip?  Your mom has a right to be angry!  So does your sister!  So do you, only you're too much of a "daddy's boy" to realize you should be mad as heck!  Pull your mom and sister aside before the nuptials and state your position, don't EMBARRASS them by sicking the police on them RIGHT BEFORE THE CEREMONY!  Your dad is a gutless wonder, and apparantly so are you and your "darling" wife!
I totally agree with you, I even posted a message myself.  That daugher-in-law just pi%@ed me off from the get go.  She didn't want his mother there and that "gossip"  thing was all she had to work on.  I can't believe he (a so called man) let this happen.  That's his mother for crying out loud!!  I wish Dr. Phil would have tore into the daughter in law a little more, and gave the son a bigger wake up call.  Sounds like these two need to slapped to get them to thinking straight!!

Gossip can also be a true statement...not solely a false one.   Webster says: "a person who habitually reveals personal or sensational facts about others" and "rumor or report of an intimate nature".  I find it hard to believe that the mother was completely innocent in all of this.  Whatever she said to the aunt was gossip about the dad.  Weddings are a time to put aside differences and be there for the couple.  The mom obviously couldn't do this and was embarrassed because the kids stuck to their word.   

  

Parents seem to have this belief that they can do whatever whenever they want to their children and we're suppose to forget and forgive for the mere reason that they are the elders.  I'm going to stick with one of Dr. Phil's other philosphies...stay in a relationship only if it doesn't mean you have to change your authentic self.  We're all going to die and with some parents that continually abuse (even their adult children) sometimes it's best to let it go and live your life without them.

Break out your dictionary and look up gossip.  Gossip is talking about other people  and their concerns.  The things said in gossip may or may not be true.  The point is, somebody is talking about someone else's business instead of minding their own!!!

I think the point was not that one incident but that there was a plot afoot between the sister and the mom to cause a big scene at the wedding, and the mother would never assure them she wouldn't take part.  Anyone who would even tease about doing something like that doesn't care that much about the feelings of their son.
