I'm 30 wks today.. Me & my fiancé want to have a 'baby shower'. Nothing elaborate, just some friends & family to spend some time with before I get too big & miserable. Well, we can't afford to rent somewhere so we asked his grandmother if we could have it at home. Her response was complaining about how she wouldn't be able to keep the house clean, she hates the living room b/c it looks bad. Also, she said we needed to ask if his mother would even be off work the weekend of it. 1) she doesn't clean the house. My future sister-in-law does some & my fiancé & I do the rest when she works. We told her we would clean so then she turned to how 'bad' the living room looks. It doesn't. It's nicely decorated, clean & there's space. As for his mom being here- well I'd love for her to be but she works all the time and never takes off often. I feel like all of this is just pushing so I won't have one and that hurts my feelings.. My fiancé's sister had hers here at home.. The place hasn't changed ANY since then so if it was good enough for her why can't it be good enough for me.. It just makes me feel like she doesn't see how important it is to me because I'm not her blood family.. I know I'm probably taking this too personally but I just needed to vent a little. :/ I'm upset & it just helps to get it out instead of bottling it up.
