My mother informed me that she will be hosting my baby shower. I am excited that someone is throwing me one but nervous at the same time that its my mom because she is VERY controlling. She told me who she is invited and to let her know who I would like to attend as well. As I was looking at her list, she is inviting people that I have never met or even heard of! I told her that I would just really like something small with close friends and family but she refuses. I don't want her to think I'm being ungrateful or unappreciative of anything she is doing but I feel as though she is making this more about herself than me. I just dont want complete strangers there or anyone thinking I'm just fishing for gifts or anything. I don't like attention on myself as it is but my mom can't seem to understand that without getting mad or upset. I cant help to stress about it now lol. Can anyone relate to this? Or have some advice to share lol? Thanks!
