Back off Mom
My mom is really riding my case about getting a part time job since I am planning to wed next year. I would have a job if I didnt have 18 hours this semester. that is a lot of responsiblity. Its not like this will push the wedding back It would just get me more details on my big day. I want her to back off but she is my mom how do I tell her?22/f

Yes, you have eighteen credit hours this semester. You didn't say how many credit hours you were going to take in any following semesters.
That said, eighteen credit hours is a lot. However, this issue comes down to time management. Can you find a job through your school that can earn you money while still allowing you to have the class schedule that you have? Plan out your credit hours for subsequent semesters and then, if that isn't good enough, tell your mother that your education (I'll assume you're in some sort of graduate school, since you're twenty-two) is a higher priority than getting a part-time job right now, and that you can find a part-time job once you are married. Lots of graduate students work part-time and can manage a busy class schedule. Plan out your day, set aside time for schoolwork, make sure you can squish in your work between all your classes, and do your best!
Hope this helps.

Well... if you're old enough to get married, and you're going to school, then you should be working and supporting yourself too (more than a part-time job!!). You didn't say who's paying for school and supporting you.

well she is probably sad and wants to spend time with you because her daughter is getting married..i would be honest with her.. and explain to her how you feel
g00d luck :)

If the issue is one of money for your wedding expenses, then I can see where your mom's concern is coming from. However if the issue is having money to do what SHE wants for your wedding, then I would simply sit her down for a talk. Tell her that you love her and you appreciate her wanting to help but the wedding is your decision and you would prefer to stay within the budget that you already set. Let her know that the little "extras" aren't important to you.
If your mom is helping pay for the wedding, I can see where she would want some say-so in the planning. On the other hand, if you and your husband-to-be are paying for the wedding yourselves, it's not her concern.
