I'd tell your mom that it's not a big deal and it's not up for discussion anymore. If she brought it up again id leave the room and end the conversation. It's honestly not her business
mom upset mother-in-law can't make the baby shower
My mom and sister are throwing a baby shower for my husband and I. It happens to overlap the weekend our niece is having a cheerleading national competition out of state that turns out my mother in law has already been planning on going to the competition for a couple months now and won't be able to make the baby shower. This has apparently has really upset my mom who says "there will be other competitions and should attend the baby shower instead because it's her sons first child and all." I personally understand that plans have been made way before my mom planned the shower and it would break my nieces heart if her grandmother wasn't there for her first competition. I said it wasn't a big deal, but my mom won't let it go and can't understand why we're not as upset about it as her about it. Any advice on how to deal with this situation?

I agree that if she's had those plans for months, there's no reason to be upset.I understand that the baby shower is important, but as long as your mother in law is there to meet your baby, it's not that big of a deal. I'm sure your mother in law will still give you a gift and all that, and honestly you probably won't notice one less person there.
I had my baby shower planned for June 24th however my dad was like that's the day of my fish fry that I have every year. So i caved and moved it to the weekend before=/ now some of my best friends can't attend, but my family will be there. I cried over it but since I don't have a mom to there I want my dad. Good luck with your decision=)
