So here is some back story: I've been best friends with L for 13 years. We are so close that I was in the delivery room when her son was born-like holding her leg up right there in the action kind of thing.
So when I got pregnant, I had two showers. She was supposed to co host one of them but backed out after her name was printed on the invites and then she didnt even show up to my other shower. When Coop was born she never came to the hospital. When Coop turned one she did not come to her bday party because she was partying in Nola.
So fast fwd to now. She's engaged and is planning the bachelorette party. I told her I wouldn't make it because that's just not something hunter and I do. There are no trust issues just a respect thing-no strip clubs. So she blew up on me and completely went bat sh!t crazy when I said I wasn't going.
So today I told her I was going to throw her a shower to make up for it. I set up a private pole class with a lingerie party after. I told her the class has a max of nine.
Her response was that she is going to need to invite more so either book a bigger party or throw a different one. Then she said no lingerie cause her mil will be there. I said ok let's just do a themed bridal shower like "monogram and margs" or "shower the bride with gift cards" and she said that's not going to work cause she is registered on honey something . Com for honey moon related items only.
WTF! Am I being crazy ?? Is this normal ??? I was not this demanding and picky when people offered to spend their hard earned money throwing me a shower. I am at a loss and don't know what to do. She is my best friend and avoiding any more arguments would be great but damn! This is just absurd! Or is it???

FWIW, the shower you were planning sounds like fun.
Yeah, it sounds like a pretty sucky situation. I think it speaks volumes to your character that you are so willing and eager to throw her a really cool shower after her being such a crummy friend.
Good luck.
