My fiancee and I just moved together.?

Just go to her like an woman and explain. Then offer to pay the ticket. If she doesn't want to listen to you and understand she never liked you from the get go. Now that you did something wrong she can drag you in the dirt. Some mother-in-laws do stuff like that. I don't see what the big problem is. It was just a mistake that you've admited to.

You keep your mail in the glovebox? What kind of a twit does that? I mean, really. That is pretty scatter-brained and you know it.

I guess you can say it was an honest mistake. I can't imagine anyone that I know doing the same thing but some people do dumb things. You just happen to be one of them. So use that for an excuse. Say to your mother-in-law "Hey...I'm sorry. I'm a simpleton because I put the parking ticket and my mail in the glovebox" Promise her that it will not happen again.

Besides, at the rate you're going you'll do something like stick a knife into the toaster while it's still plugged in to get the stuck piece of toast out of it. They'll be something else coming down the pike that will wipe this one clean and take it's place. I have faith.

I think she over-reacted. Just take a deep breath, give it a little bit of time, and explain to your fiancé that you are sincerely sorry, and that you did not mean to hide anything. Then perhaps talk to her when she had calmed down a bit. My guess is that she may have more issues with you than this incident - otherwise, I don't see why she would not accept a sincere apology, and put it behind her.

Poor poor you. Pay the fine on the ticket and stop acting like a victim. Tell them you were a real dits for not reading the paper and forgetting about it. Stop saying "it was an honest mistake" and "not fair to me" you sound like a baby.

Just tell her that you would pay cos it's your mistake, whether you realise it or not, because you were driving the car at that time, so it's your responsibility to pay. Then explain to her that this was unintentional, and a huge misunderstanding. If she won't accept, fine. You don't have to go around to prove you're innocent to people who don't believe you or even try.

Tell her that you are sorry that you made the mistake. Explain to her what you said here.

Pay for the ticket (and late fees) NOW. No excuses or delays.

sweetheart, go with your own mind on this one! you made all valid points, if you realy wanted to hide it then you would have, and the in-law would have NEVER found it...if this woman doesn't believe you, then she is not worth your time..she's sounds very paranoid and insecure...rise above that hunny, we all make mistakes.....she should forgive your mistake and DROP IT!!!!

good luck!

Offer to pay the ticket so this issue can die.

You don't sound mature enought o be getting married. Try being more responsible.
