Okay so my moms side of the family lives 4 hours away so of course she was gonna throw me a shower and since even though this is my sisters 2nd baby (she was stationed in Japan w/ her first) were gonna include her and make it really nice and big but thats not the problem.

Back home my 2 friends are throwing a shower for me and have already planned little things for it to make it really special for me since my mom won't be a par of this one well me and MIL have NEVER gotten along but when she asked if i was having a shower down here i said yes and if she wanted to help i could give her my friends number, well she said no but then turned around and complained to BF about how she wanted to throw me one on her own and now he's mad cause he thinks I wont let her be part of it all. Im just so frustrated im ready to say hell with it and not have a shower down there at all!

    I even said if she wanted to throw me a separate one so she could do everything herself she could and she said NO! I'm probably just overreacting.

    Ehh you're not a mind reader.  You didn't know she wanted to throw one and you said everything I would have said.  Sounds like she is just looking for something to complain about. 

    However the fact that your BF is more concerned about his mommy's feelings than you feelings on this one, is not a good sign, not a good sign at all.

    This!  Especially the second paragraph.

    I had something similar happen with a friend rather than with MIL. She called me when I was 27 weeks along and asked if she could throw me a shower. I told her that MIL and mom were planning one and she could help if she wanted, she was so upset she didn't even come to the shower.

    How on earth are you suppose to know someone wants to have a shower for you if they don't tell you?  Especially coming from MIL... I mean my MIL started talking about having the shower very early.

    I think your MIL is being unreasonable. Talk to your SO, if he's heared all this he should be supporting you.
