Read the Viral, Angry E Mail One Mother Sent to Her Daughter in Law Over Manners

The angry mother-in-law.

Let‘s just start by saying it’s going to be a an awkward wedding between the Bourne and Withers families.

That’s because Carolyn Bourne, mother of the groom, recently sent a scathing e-mail to her future daughter-in-law, Heidi Withers, ripping Withers about her manners, and even jabbing the bride’s father. It’s now sparked a war of words between the two British families.

“If you want to be accepted by the wider Bourne family, I suggest you take some guidance from experts with utmost haste,” Bourne wrote.

She also accused Withers of “regularly draw[ing] attention to” herself, noted that Withers‘s parents can’t “contribute very much towards the cost of your wedding,“ and went as far as to say she has ”pity” for her son, Freddie.

The bride‘s father didn’t take too kindly to being called out in the e-mail.

Read the Viral, Angry E Mail One Mother Sent to Her Daughter in Law Over Manners

The happy couple.

“I think she has her head stuck so far up her own a*** she doesn’t know whether to speak or fart,” he said.

“I met Carolyn and her husband Edward for dinner at a pub in London last year. Edward was a jovial chap but Carolyn was quite snotty,” he added.

Gawker has a copy of the e-mail that started it all. The e-mail now heard round the world:

It is high time someone explained to you about good manners. Yours are obvious by their absence and I feel sorry for you.

Unfortunately for Freddie, he has fallen in love with you and Freddie being Freddie, I gather it is not easy to reason with him or yet encourage him to consider how he might be able to help you.

It may just be possible to get through to you though. I do hope so.

Your behaviour on your visit to Devon during April was staggering in its uncouthness and lack of grace.

Unfortunately, this was not the first example of bad manners I have experienced from you.

If you want to be accepted by the wider Bourne family I suggest you take some guidance from experts with utmost haste.

There are plenty of finishing schools around. You would be an ideal candidate for the Ladette to Lady television series.

Please, for your own good, for Freddie’s sake and for your future involvement with the Bourne family, do something as soon as possible.

Here are a few examples of your lack of manners:

When you are a guest in another’s house, you do not declare what you will and will not eat – unless you are positively allergic to something.

You do not remark that you do not have enough food.

You do not start before everyone else.

You do not take additional helpings without being invited to by your host.

When a guest in another’s house, you do not lie in bed until late morning in households that rise early – you fall in line with house norms.

You should never ever insult the family you are about to join at any time and most definitely not in public. I gather you passed this off as a joke but the reaction in the pub was one of shock, not laughter.

I have no idea whether you wrote to thank [your future sister-in-law] for the weekend but you should have hand-written a card to her.

You should have hand-written a card to me. You have never written to thank me when you have stayed at Houndspool.

[Your future sister-in-law] has quite the most exquisite manners of anyone I have ever come across. You would do well to follow her example.

You regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should ask yourself why.

It is tragic that you have diabetes. However, you aren’t the only young person in the world who is a diabetic.

I know quite a few young people who have this condition, one of whom is getting married in June. I have never heard her discuss her condition.

She quietly gets on with it. She doesn’t like being diabetic. Who would? You do not need to regale everyone with the details of your condition or use it as an excuse to draw attention to yourself. It is vulgar.

As a diabetic of long standing you must be acutely aware of the need to prepare yourself for extraordinary eventualities, the walk to Mothecombe beach being an example.

You are experienced enough to have prepared yourself appropriately.

No-one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash, celebrity style behaviour.

I understand your parents are unable to contribute very much towards the cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with that except that convention is such that one might presume they would have saved over the years for their daughters’ marriages.)

If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes.

One could be accused of thinking that Heidi Withers must be patting herself on the back for having caught a most eligible young man. I pity Freddie.

    What finishing school did the would be mother in law attend? Hitler’ s would be mother in laws finishing school? I guess if that would be the case she definitely got her moneys worth. How educated both on Diabetes and in general is this mother in law? Is she aware how individualistic diabetes is as a disease? No two diabetics are alike. Not even if they are bot either Type I or II. Could it have been that the would be daughter in law recognized she was having a hypoglycemic episode and needed to eat accordingly and perhaps did not want to bother her would be sister in law with her potentially going into a diabetic coma? In other words she wanted to prevent a show of bad manners by collapsing to the ground and river going into a coma or dying. How small is this mother in laws life and grasp on it that she must zero in on minute details of someone’s manners when she herself could take some lessons in tact. She at this point needs all the help she can get. Oh and a course on diabetes. Before you try to take a splinter out of someone else’s eye take the 4×4 out ofyour own.

    I pity Freddie, too. His mum sounds like she’s Hyacinth Bucket (pronunced “bouquet”), a BritCom character.

    Seriously, I received a similar snail-mail from my mother-in-law 30 years ago, only it was about my children’s manners. Funny though, she’s dead now, but her grandchildren somehow assimilated manners somewhere along the line and are doing swimmingly. Ah, I have such fine memories of MaMa…not!

      It was actually the bride’s father who said that.

      Dustyluv — you need to read a bit more carefully — the future mother-in-law didn’t make that comment; it was the father of the bride-to-be, referring to his daughter’s future mother-in-law (clearly an insufferable woman). They all sound like a bunch of gems. The quote is below.

      The bride‘s father didn’t take too kindly to being called out in the e-mail.

      “I think she has her head stuck so far up her own a*** she doesn’t know whether to speak or fart,” he said.

      That was the father of the bride that said that about the Mother-in-Law, not vice versa.

      @ Dusty. If you can read, the quote you refer to is from the fiance’s father. He is the bride to be‘s father not the groom to be’s mother.

      You must have done very well in school.

      Actually, the bride’s father said that about the future mother in law, so no mirror looking needed. Maybe the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they say.

      The bride’s father made this comment about the mother of the prospective groom. The groom‘s mother wrote the letter about which the bride’s father made the remark.

      Dustyluv,

      Why don’t you bother properly reading things, before you post erroneous commentary? The _FATHER_ said that, not the mother-in-law.

      “I think she has her head stuck so far up her own a*** she doesn’t know whether to speak or fart,” he said.

      Notice how it says “he said,” after that comment? Here’s some advice: if you’re going to take the time to post your two-cents, then take the time to read properly, what you’re commenting on firstly, for you risk sounding as buffoon-like as that mother.

      Actually, the bride’s father said that. Reread the article! I also agree that manners today are sorely lacking, but there are manners, and there is snobbery. This woman is a snob.

      I thought I could hate the mother in law too…..but you know what? She is not pointing out small things….she’s calling out what appears to be a typical boorish 20-something on her bad manners. Writing a note when you stay in someone’s home and or providing a gift are commen sense. My two little ones will attend a local finishing school….somethings are just worth it. Loved the line about her wanting a wedding in a castle and how the Brits consider that Hollywood! Sorry I’m siding with the MIL on this one!

      It sounds like the son found a woman who is completely different from his mother. I pitty the bride, not the son. This story is not worthy of The Blaze.

      I enjoyed this piece. I have been so tempted myself to speak up about the shocking lack of plain old fashioned manners today. You for one are showing a marked lack of same by assuming you have the right to dictate what the rest of us may or may not find either educational or entertaining. Don’t want to read it ? Then don’t click on it.

      Well you can tell he huffpo guy is now ruining the blaze. Hey Glenn Beck, fire the huffpo sob before the blaze is ruined for good.

      I read the email, and I agree with the mother in law on most of it. When you are at someone elses home, you don’t act like you own it or are a queen in waiting.

      Seriously, Blazers – I’m disappointed.

      This is a great article. It exemplifies the deterioration of our own society. The mother-in-law is RIGHT!

      Her twit daughter-to-be is a jerk. This is completely relevent to what’s happening in America today. Unfortunately, it took a Brit to point it out.

      While Miss Manners shouldn’ have been so forthcoming with all of (her requirements). Much of what she said is in fact fair eticate. For generations now, we have failed to teach these common decencies.
