It's happening again... with my family!
It started with our engagement. We picked a barn to get married at which my mother hated. That didn't go over well with my husband, but I decided my family had ruined what we wanted. Plus, they were contributing to our wedding monetarily so, we canceled the barn. Then, my mother only wanted my family to go dress shopping. I would have loved to have my future MIL and SIL there, but my Mom was paying for my dress so, I let that one go too. Our wedding day was beautiful and I married the most wonderful man, but unfortunately the wedding planning process was not a happy time.
Now, it's starting all over again. My SIL is extremely excited about our pregnancy as is everyone on both sides of the family. She offered to host the baby shower including both sides of the family and my friends. My MIL and SIL called my Mom and sisters today to discuss. Both of my sisters said, my Mom will probably want to host a small intimate shower with my family. My Mom hasn't returned my MIL's call. My MIL said it would be fine either way and not to worry, but I'm stressed. It's 3:30 am as I'm writing this! Shouldn't this be about me and the baby? Not what my Mom, sisters or anyone else wants, but me? That's what I want to tell my Mom. She got her way with dress shopping and the location of the wedding. We have had a two year infertility journey and this should be a happy time. This is about me and I'm not going to stress about it. Or am I crazy?! Advice please!!!
