I am 8-10 weeks (depending on my ultrasound) but I`ve already got a list of people I want to invite to my baby shower. I am planning on inviting my boyfriends ex sister-in-law. She was married to his brother & had a few kids. Now when I told my bf`s sister she said `well we dont get along with her`.. What was that supposed to mean? & what should I do?

bvalley1982 - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) it means she doesnt want you to invite her and if its going to cause drama with your babies family (and trust me i know your situation because my dads family hates his gf, and my mom hates her, and no one gets along) to invite her than dont, because although its supposed to be about you and the baby, they'll make it into their own shit. thats my experience anyways. at that stage in your pregnancy your going to want to be as relaxed as possible, your baby shower should be tension free, i vote to not invite her.

lindamc - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i would just invite her, you can't please everyone

slnkl - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i'd go ahead and invite her anyway...after all its for you and it is your baby shower!

skittles0607 - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Its your baby shower. Just inform them that the other will be there. Also ask if they can be civil for the shower. Its not about them, its about the baby!!!

amygirl22 - 92 days ago I'm not having my own baby shower.. My family is doing it they just wanted me to write a list of who I want there.

LMO - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) the baby shower is about you and the baby, if some of the people dont like each other they need to get over it and get a long for you...

totallykatalicious - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Invite whoever you want.

gr8scottswife - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Invite the people you want to come. Who cares if the others don't get along. It's about who you get along with .

jessicadarling - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It is your baby shower and therefore whoever you want to share the special day with should be there. I say that if your sister in law appreciates the fact that it isn't about HER, then she can be grown up enough to deal with someone she doesn't get along with that well for a few hours. Tell her to grow up.

sarahann - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I agree with the others, the day is for you and your baby, and you should have whoever you want there. Just an idea, but some girls have two (or more) baby showers. Why don't you have one for family, and another one for friends? Then your b/f's ex sister in law could go to the 'friends' one. Failing that, another friend could plan and host it for you, and then no one can take it out on you for who was invited.

MelissaJoanne - 93 days ago Rating: 1 (1 votes) It seems a little early to be planning the shower already, and odd that you're planning your own. I do agree with others that you should be able to invite whomever you like, but I would also think it best to be respectful of others feelings. Some battles are worth fighting, others aren't. Weigh out your options and see if it's worth upsetting the bf's family over.

kbushby - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) if you are friends with her then invite her. its your day and they should act civil for you.... they dont have to talk to each other right?? my baby shower was awkward in the sense that my family had never been around my boyfriends family and they spoke spanish the whole time, so i guess it happens to everyone. you want the day to run as smoothly as possible, but something always gotta come up huh.. well good luck, and congrats on the pregnancy

Baby3OnWay - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think you should invite who you would like there, plain and simple. If people don't come ro are immature enough to start problems at a baby shower thats really sad becuae its suppose to be all about you, your baby, and your closest family and friends... PLUS your holding your own showeR? I never heard of that as my family usually hold them for others BUT still... they invite people whether they like them or not because its for the baby and mother and not them and their drama! Hope it works out for you girl!!

sez - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) its not about who likes who.... its a baby shower the focus is on you and your baby, she shouldnt be that childish to say i dont get along with her, she can mix and talk 2 other people in the room, and just be polite to her. you invite everyone you want to share this special day. and she should respect that, and be as plesent as she can , if not for her own sake, but for yours :)

mommy-of-3 - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I say invite whoever you want to invite, it's your shower and your special day. If anyone else has any type of respect for you they will put aside their petty differences for one day.

Brandi J. - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Invite who you want to invite, however, if you know that someone doesn't get along w/ someone else, it would be nice of you to tell them that the other will be there. Let them know that it is their choice whether or not they come, but you want them all there, and you would like them to resolve their differences, or at least stay away from each other just for your special day.

Mommyof2boys - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Tell her that its your babyshower a day for you and all problems should be not addressed at your shower. I had a shower and I had a few people who didn't like anyone but they kept their problems at home because they knew it wasn't about them that day.
