I am hurt beyond words right now...
Since May we've planned to have my baby shower the 26th of July. My mom and aunt offerred to throw it, but my DH's mom, insisted on doing the invitations and the shower. Since she's NEVER gave a big interest into planning anything with her own money and DH was so proud that his mom actually wanted to do something good, (I turned down my mom's and aunt's offer)
DH's mom wouldn't answer the phone all week, the only time she answered is when we called her from a number she didn't know, and guess what her first words were "who's number is this?"...We asked how the shower planning was and she says, "Lets talk tomorrow, I'm at a party right now" Now yesterday we find out that NONE of the invitations went out, the place isn't even booked, a menu hasn't been decided.... NOTHING has been done... NOTHING...
She give my DH a sorry a** story that oh times are hard and she had to pay down debt (non-existent debt, because she told us last month all of her paycheck goes to her, she doesn't have bills, her husband pays everything), mind you, she has NO problem wasting her money on the things she likes, i.e (2) packs of smokes a day and drinks. She says we'll let's push it back (she tell DH this and not me, because I would of been LIVID) I tell DH to tell her, no, that we will not have a shower when I'm 40 weeks pregnant (we doubt I'll go past 38 weeks anyway)
What hurts even more is that the invitations were only 40 bucks and that she could of told us in June when we kept asking why none of our guest got an invitation, since she swore she mailed them... My mom had been OFFERING to help this whole time... and she lied and said that everything was done and booked....Thank god my mom said don't worry about it, the baby will have EVERYTHING she needs... thank god for GREAT moms =)

ACK!! That lady needs to be shot! Relax, it will all be taken care of. This is the time when families pull together. Of course putting on a sad face might help a little ;)
ReplyDeletewow, that does suck. Can your mom pull together something on her own? Thankfully, MIL was just given something related to you....imagine if she offered to help baby's birthday party? Now you know better. Just decline her so-called assistance.
