My mil just posted on Facebook the date of my babyshower saying "my grandsons baby shower... Save the date!" On top of everything else embarrassing and wrong with this post, especially considering its my babyshower, not a meet the baby, she's not even hosting! My mom and best friend are! I know she is excited and MEANS nothing wrong by it, but how do I make her see this is not okay?? Help!!!

    I may be odd man out, but I would ask my DH to ask MIL to remove the post. I'd just say you don't want anything about your shower on FB. But that assumes that you aren't posting anything about your shower either. My Mom posted something because she did

    I just unblocked my MIL and FIL (not readding them lol) but to be polite since I'm the only one who can try to let bygones be bygones. I would have your DH privately talk to her and state it's a party hosted by someone else so blasting to the world is not
