Prego moment! I needed some advice Please!

So, my baby shower is being thrown by my mother (whom lives across the country from me and I BFF's with) and my SIL (whom I rarely talk to). My mom is coming to town the day before my shower to help set up and get everthing together. Mind you, my babyshower is being held at my husbands ex-wife/baby's mama's clubhouse and all of my SILs are pretty much BFF's with her. I get along great with her also but I keep a distance because she IS my husband's ex and I feel akward because they (her & all my SILs) have all know eachother so long. My SIL helping my mom throw the baby shower is a very strong outspoken girl and I can already tell she is getting a little irritated with my mom. And it bothers me that she is prob going back to my other SILs and my husband's ex talking about my mom, and they are all just going to be at the shower watching and judging. I don't think I'd be so worried about it if I didn't have to put up with all of them so often, what with family events and all.

Should I care? Am I just be parinoid? Do I need to muster up confidence and forget about them? I feel like I am going nuts!

    They probably do talk about your mom but you really shouldn't worry about it. Who doesn't gossip about other people behind their backs, at least a little bit? You can't hide your family from them so just try to remember all the reasons why you love your mom and stop imagining what they could be finding wrong with her. In the end, it really doesn't matter what they think.

    They are going to talk behind your back no matter what. Just forget them and enjoy your party. Dont even pay any attention to them, and have fun! Smile

    that is so annoying. If only they didn't have to all come!! I know how you feel. I would ignore them BUT if your mom gets uncomfortable then makes sure you step in. There ?is nothing worse than feeling attacked and having no one stick up for you...

    If I got any looks or unkind comments I would tell them off. Starting last week I developed a distinct lack of control with what comes out of my mouth so that may just be me.

    But really, just smile and have fun and ignore them. Their opinions of your family don't matter one tiny bit and I'm sure you have plenty of things to say about them to your mom. If SIL is trying to run the shower though Mom has ranks over her despite the fact that she's not local.
