I dont do well in large groups, ever since i was a baby. Ive never been able to break that habit. And my mom had a huge family, my dad had a few people and we went and did family stuff regularly every month so it wasnt cause i was sheltered and never saw anyone... But i get uncomfortable with my fiances side all the time. They have a saying "family isnt always blood." And for me thats hard cause my family is very huge and forgiving but we have had alot happen to where in cases i dont always believe it. I have true friends that have been with me for decades.. But i just feel we are really close and i would do anything for them, but thats it. Me i get so annoyed when i just want intermediate blood family only for certain things. And my in-laws invite their overwhelming amount of friends. Now in no way am I saying what my fiancé's family believes is wrong by any means necessary! I know a lot of people that believe in that saying is well. I'm just a little more forward about my feelings, and I usually tend to be more protective. But with having a baby on the way and moving out into weeks, budget is kind of tight. And I find it extremely annoying when I get lectured from my in-laws about why I don't want to spend the extra money to send baby announcements, or pictures to their friends. I know the intermediate blood family and I automatically send anything that I take to them. I was always raised with making sure your family is always updated on happy news. But I do not feel like shelling out another $50-$100 just for my in-laws friends... I've tried suggesting maybe they can try paying for their own? Or at least help me out with stamps or packaging.. Maybe I'm a little overwhelmed, and I know it might sound cold to some. But I am just trying to do the best I can for the intermediate family only, on such a tight budget. And I alone in this? Or do I just need to relax and breathe and just shell out more money..?

i understand their point of view, but personally, i don't think that is your responsibility. if your immediate family is taken care of, and they want their friends to get announcements, THEY need to send them. you're trying to provide a home for your baby once he/she arrives. whether or not their friends have an announcement is not a priority and if they'd like to make it one, that's something they can take care of. it's so easy to tell someone what to do with their money when it's having no effect on the person who's saying it. if it's that pressing, tell them to cough up the money and you'll send out whatever announcement to whoever they'd like it to go to.

you don't have to do anything you don't want to just to please someone else. they'll just have to understand and then get happy in the same pants they became disappointed in.
