I'll try to keep this short. Basically, I wanted a small, intimate shower with just family and close friends. My mom is planning it, I told her what I wanted, and she insists on inviting people I don't want there and tells me I should invite my coworkers, which I don't want to do. Then I'm already in a bad mood for other reasons when tonight my husband tells me a friend of his wants to go, too. A friend I've only seen once, barely spoke to, who he only sees when she needs work done on her car. I told my husband about my wishes for the shower and he argued with me that more people = more presents, it's a kind gesture, etc. This set me off because I was already in a bad mood. I left the room to cool off, and when I got back, the first thing he said was "What are you so mad about?" Okay, now I'm getting off topic. Essentially, what I need to know is this: Am I being unreasonable wanting to keep the shower small? Should I really just invite everyone we know and deal with it for an afternoon for the sake of presents and I guess making other people happy? Thanks for reading & for any advice you can give.
