Annoyed...

BD's mom has been taking over the baby shower duties and leaving my parent out of it for the most part.  And I just found out she is having a diaper raffle with the prize of this really really ugly table centerpiece thing that I can't tell is a swan or a flowery nightmare.  She's moving to Florida and this is something she decided to use as a prize instead of tossing it.  It's just awful.  Also, this baby shower is a co-ed baby shower and she knows this.  Absolutely no male would want to win that thing and already my female friends who are going tell me that they'll bring diapers, but they don't want the prize.  Ugh, what the heck am I supposed to do.  I asked my parent if I should just secretly have another prize for after the party is over and done with and she said no, because BD's mom might find out and get offended.  How am I supposed to handle this?

    Unfortunately, I'm already having two. My parents do not get along and neither do their families. So I have for my mom's side and one for my parent's side long story short, my dad went through a gender reassignment, which is why I call her my parent. BD'
