So both my SILs are pregnant and due within like 3 weeks of each other. Ugh the drama Im so sick of it. Anyways a couple of things were brought to my attention and Id like to kinda get some opinions on how ya'll feel about it.
First...WHO is supposed to throw the shower? According to a pregnancy website I found they say a friend is supposed to throw the shower not the mom or MIL. Well the MIL is a huge drama starter and if shes not in control of everything she lashes out and really really hits below the belt to people who have nothing to do with what happened....I took the hit last year over something petty and stupid and her and I are still trying to get back on even footing.
2. If your SIL had a baby before you and a big deal was made that you MUST be included and have a large role in the shower (even though you dont get along and its well known) would you reciprocate the gesture when it comes to your own baby shower?
3. Is it ok to have a baby shower for each pregnancy? (My answer was yes if its not her 10th kid)
4. This is for myself....How the heck do I get out of these darn showers???? LOL Seriously Im like monkey in the middle and between the big fight last year and issues with SMIL I just dont want to have anything to do with either because Im over it. I dont dislike or like the one SIL and Im getting back on good terms with the other one, her and I used to be really really close. Also another question for myself. I had planned on making coordinating blanket for them with their favorite colors based on the sex of the baby but because they are both due within 3 weeks of each other and Im going to find out about the shower at the last minute should I just go ahead and make neutral blankets and then make little bibs, booties type stuff thats easier when I find out the sex? I dont want to rush rush rush with these blankets and Id rather make something nice instead of something easy because Im pressed for time. Im always the last one in the loop because noone tells me anything even though Ive stated from the moment I found out they were pregnant that I NEED to know ASAP what the sex is. Argh darn women...lol
