If you saw my FFFC yesterday you know but if not...
My 22 y/o SIL is pregnant to her dbag boyfriend who is a lazy POS that is 26 and still in college and refuses to get a real job even w/ the baby coming. (He does like random marketing gigs now. like the ppl that pass out samples at Costco ya know?) Anyway, her baby shower is May 14. My MIL and FIL are having it at a restaurant cuz my MIL doesn't like to really do much but whatever. So they are having a nice shower for her and nothing really needs to be done but a few decorations and invites and a cake. Well I am doing decorations and invites. I made (myself) and ordered the invites months ago on VistaPrint. SIL told me she had 50 people. SO I got 50 invites. They took maybe a week or 2 to get here and I told her she needed to get me her list and we needed to have them out by beginning of April to give people enough time since summer months are busy.
Well about 2 weeks ago I asked her about her list and she told me she had 62 people (only her side) and was trying to figure out who to cut because she needed to add her BF's side still. I said "do you need me to order more invites? tell me now cuz we don't have much time." She said she would cut ppl and if push came to shove evite her friends. Ok fine.
I asked her for the list a few days later and she was still working on it.
I asked her again this past weekend, same deal. I told her I needed it by Yesterday AT THE LATEST. Because they need to go out like Monday and I have no time to do them really except tonight.
yesterday she emails me basically giving me her "to do" list and the list was on there still and she said her BF was "too tired" after working Thursday to do it and that she would have him do it last night. Umm first off why the eff did you wait till Thurs when you KNEW he was working all day to ask?! Second, I don't give a flying f to the u c k.
I STILL DON'T HAVE THE LIST. ME=LIVID. I texted her this morning and said "did you send me your list because I need it to do them tonight at babysitting because I have NO other time."
She has yet to text me back. I leave for babysitting in 2 hours. What should I do? I have her preliminary list w/ the too many people... should I just send 50 and then tell her I'm done? Or should I take her the invites and tell her I've got no time now and if she wants a shower she needs to get her sh!t together and send them out? I hate being mean and I really truly love her but she's really on my last nerve now cuz I'm doing pretty much everything here and trying to be really nice about it and getting no help for something VERY SIMPLE.
(((Sorry this was so long.)))

ya she has no time to get more invites now... vista print can take up to 21 days. We were lucky that they came in quickly. I guess they might have rush service though...
**UPDATE** I just texted her:
"Ok since I haven't heard from you I am going to take your old list and address 50 from there minus the neighbors. You will have to evite the rest or something. These need to get out if you want a shower..."

ya it's her cross to bear now. LOL She just texted me back finally. Said her phone was dead... ::eyeroll:: but she gave me the list. Still minus dbag's side and said she'll deal w/ his side. She can always grab a 10 pack of write out invites and send them to his family. They won't know the difference ya know?
This. Totally. My BIL and SIL did this for her shower for their first together (his 3rd) and I just sent them out and they had to deal with it. She sent a FB announcement out and like 30 of her stupid little 19yo friends showed up w/o rsvping... it was fun and klassy
