I just need to vent about this real quick... When me and my sister first found out we were pregnant, my step mom said that she would throw my sister a shower if she was having a girl, but not for me, because my shower wasn't that long ago. ((Neither was her's, our boys are 11 months apart)) It bothered me then, but I got over it. My MIL said that she wanted to have a baby shower for me, seeing as she couldn't before because DS1 came early. She only invited her family and friends. My step mom ended up not planning anything for my sister, UNTIL she found out that I had a shower! I'm so annoyed right now! Now she is throwing my sister one 10 days before she is due, just because "Well, Nicole had a shower!"... argh! And, because I didn't invite them, she told DH ((he called her today)) to tell me about the shower, but didn't invite me! I swear, she has to one-up me with EVERYTHING!! When we moved into a bigger place, my step mom bought my sister a big screen TV! She does things like this ALL the time! It drives me crazy! I can never do anything good, because she has to make sure her daughter out does me! ARGH!!!

I'm so sorry about that! Why does family have to act that way?? I am having a baby shower conflict currently too but not one that bad. My MIL and SIL want to throw me a huge shower because it is my first pg and it's twins. I told them that it was fine and if they are throwing one then my mom didn't have to worry about it. Well they are pressuring me to change my mind on having it before they are born because my MIL's house won't be completely finished (they've been remodeling for over a year!). I don't want to sound selfish but I think they are being selfish by insisting that it can only happen at one place even if they throw it after the babies are born. I'm sorry, but who in the world wants to deal with socializing and all that right after you give birth to 2 children? Not to mention having to feed them (I'm BFing) and having them passed from person to person when they are so small. UGH. I'm going to call them and tell them that I just changed my mind and don't want one at all! Hang in there girlie, families are crazy but we only get one.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Tell them that it is YOUR special day and that they should worry about YOU! Do it YOUR way! Good luck honey!

So she is upset that you had a baby shower and she wasnt invited. And she is having ababy shower for her daughter and isnt inviting you because she wasnt invited to yours?

did I understand that?

Hahaha, that is how I made it seem, but no, that wasn't why I was frustrated. No matter what good happens in my life, she always has to make sure her daughter out does me. It was just irritating...
