how involved are you planning your baby shower?

amanda

so my mom is primarily throwing my baby shower, along with an aunt and SIL. My mom tends to be very controlling though and i already had to tell her to make sure my SIL is included in PLANNING the shower, not just assigned tasks to complete.

i have sent my mom a couple shower ideas on pinterest of games or invitations/themes i think are cute. we were discussing food the other day and i brought up the pinterest ideas since she didnt mention them. she said and i quote “you dont need to worry about the shower but i want to make sure you like the food.”

am i being too sensitive since i was offended by this? this is my first baby and im very much looking forward to the shower and was just trying to give her some direction. i feel like this is PTSD to my wedding when she tried to make it all about her. I feel like she is throwing this party based on what she wants and not taking into consideration what i want. backstory- she already spread my baby news against my wishes to friends and family before i got the chance to.

Am i wrong for wanting to give input on a theme/games/favors for my own shower?? Anyone going through something similar??
