pissed off...

so i dont know if it i am just having prego hormones, but today i was up at the MIL house and my DH grandmother lives with them, anyways my mom is throwing my my baby shower in 3 weeks and SHE was the one who sent out all the invites not me, my DH grandmother came storming out of her room pissed at ME because her other two daughters (who i have only seen twice since i have been married) were not invited, first off i dont have their addresses and why would my mom even have them on the list if I didnt want them there? i just thought it was rude of her to assume that i did it on purpose, am i over reacting?

I can see both sides.?

It's not your fault since you didn't send them out but it kind of sucks that some family was overlooked. Even if they didn't plan to come, it's still nice to invite them. However, it's your shower and the host can invite who she wants.?

I can see both sides too. You have to remember though... even though this is your day... other people want to be able to share it with you too... I say- invite everybody and if they choose to not show up- then that's their problem. You did what you could- the rest is up to them...

that's why I had my mom and MIL make a list and give it to my aunt, then if someone from either side wasn't invited it wasn't my fault.  I told them only gradma's aunts and first cousins should be invited, so it wouldn't get too out of hand. I hate when people get upset about showers (wedding and baby) because the shower is being thrown for you so you are not in control of the invites.

Yeah, I can see how it wasn't fair for her to go off on you, but at the same time, I can also see her being concerned that they weren't invited. I'd have used the preggo brain excuse, gotten the addreses, and sent them something.
