My mom is throwing me a baby shower this Saturday. My boyfriend since the beginning said he didn't want to invite his family because they are very rude & problematic, so we haven't told then anything. Today my mil took me baby shopping & said she was only buying me a few pieces of clothing because her daughter had her son 7 months ago & she will be giving me hand me downs. I am very thankful but my boyfriend didn't like that & said that was another reason to not invite them. I feel bad because they are really nice to me,my boyfriend said he will tell them Friday that my mom is throwing me a surprise shower & that we didn't know about it so they don't get mad. I feel really bad :( what do you ladies think?
@preg_bunny, yes I figured he doesn't want them there for a reason, he said he will take all the blame if they get mad
@rosemoon, thank you, she really is. I know they probably won't come since it will only be my family but I don't want them to be hurt
I think feelings will be hurt regardless, it's really your decision and your boyfriend's, and honestly it's his family and his choice to not invite them, I'd just accept and respect it, if someone gets upset let them be upset with him.
well do what makes u feel best if it's making u feel bad it's not worth holding it in
My mom wanted to invite them out of courtesy even tho they've been really rude to her
@rosemoon, his family actually already bought us the big things for the baby(travel system, crib)
maybe a separate smaller one for his family kinda of a pot luck so it won't break the bank n ull feel better just a suggestion
