Baby shower woes

Anyone else having problems with their baby shower and MIL's. I would consider my husband and I to be frugal people. We went for the bigger house instead of a fancy wedding. Our weeding probably cost like 3 grand.

Anyways my mother in law wants to plan the baby shower. She wants it at a country club. I told her my parents can't afford it cause they are on social security. I also said a hall would be fine somewhere. I don't want to pay for it cause then what's the point might as well buy our own baby stuff. She said she is going to try and think of something else.

Any suggestions?
