family vent..
It was brought to my attention today that their was some drama at my baby shower Saturday. My mom , aunt and cousin planned and arranged most of the shower. DH mom and sister helped a little , but mostly complained that it was not what they wanted. My family spent a lot of time a effort on the shower , and it looked great and I had a great time.
Apparently a few people did not share my love for the shower. My SIL and DH cousin were bi!ching that is no fun and they were bored. The food was not what they wanted. Why weren't their more games etc. I am sorry it was a baby shower , what did you want a stripper and shots? They were also talking about my cousin's outfit and calling her fat ! This in turn hurt my cousin;s feelings and caused some major drama. So now I am embarrassed that DH family acted this way , and pi**ed that people got their feelings hurt. I mean come on we are all adults in are late 20's and on.
I want to say something to my SIL about it. I really want her to apologize for causing the drama , and just being an over all bi!ch.
Ok vent over!

Re: family vent..
I know what you mean!
My MIL embarrassed me so bad during mine. She was supposed to help but expected everyone to contact her and keep her totally informed when my sister (who was the "main" host) didn't contact anyone -- if they had questions they called her. She made a scene at the shower saying she wasn't signing the card for the hostess gift because she didn't get to host and all this other BS. Said it loud and in front of guests. Way to go, batch!
I would tell you to say something to SIL because I want to with my MIL but I know I won't because it will just cause more drama.
Sounds like they did a good job of making themselves look like negative nelly asses. I think the best remedy would be to be the bigger person and just go overboard with your appreciation for what your family did for you...
And find some way to let your SIL know that your cousin heard her rude comments. She should be embarassed for being such an ass!
Thanks for the advice ladies. I was just so taken back by the fact that they would be so rude. Our families have not really been put together that much , and I never dreamed they would not get along. My SIL has a habit of thinking people actually care what she has to say.
I think I might just have DH say something to them about it making me upset and hurting my cousins feelings!
My sister DID call her some and told her if she had questions to call. My sister goes to school an hour away from home 3 days a week, stays home with her daughter the other days and if her husband happens to have the day off when she doesn't have school she goes to work at the local hospital. MIL knows how hectic her schedule is and my sister informed her what was going on to the best of her ability. My MIL just wanted everyone to bend over backwards for her. My sister was the only family member involved (other than MIL).
She knew that someone else was in charge of the cake and wanted my sister to tell them to cancel their order because that's what she wanted to do. It was too late for that and MIL knew that payment had already been made and everything. What does MIL do? Not bring the food she was supposed to but brings a cake instead. Just out of spite.
Then she acted the way she did.
To be honest, ever since she found out I was having a boy she has not been as excited about this pregnancy because she wanted LO to be a girl. When we had everyone over to tell the news she even said to my mom in front of everyone, "Well, at least you got what you wanted."
