Brent (my husband) made me soooooo mad that I could have killed him.
My sister and Aunt and Sister In-laws are planning to throw me and my little sister a baby shower on the same day. I cant wait. The problem is that they plan to have it back home which is about a 2 hour drive from here. Well this is fine with me we just made out a guest list and knew that not everyone may be able to attend due to the distance thing. Well it must have just hit Brent the other day that my little sister will have all of her friends and family there and I will have much less. I told him that was fine it wasnt a contest and if people couldnt come I am sure that they would give us a gift when they see us here at home. Brent said Why cant your family have a shower for you there and then one here. It was then that I got really mad at him. You see we live like 10 minutes from his family and they refused to throw us a shower. That really hurt my feelings. But I got over it. The problem is now Brent wants to get mad because my family is only going to throw me one shower. I just looked at him and said You expect my family to throw me two showers when your family wont even throw me one. I was so mad at him I guess I went on and on about how his family never through us a wedding shower either and that makes me feel like they dont accept me. Brent still stood his ground, what little he had. I then left for work and he called me and said Honey Mom said that she would through you a shower after all. I said what you mean. He said that he called her and told her that I was mad at her. Okay well I thought that I was mad before, but now I just couldnt find words to express my anger. I just told him that I would talk to him later. Well long story short, I had to call his mother and do a little damage control. His mother was very nice. I just explained the whole story to her, and I was honest. Even when I said You want my family to throw me two showers and yours wont even throw me one. Well she understood. I let her know that she didnt have to give us a shower, Brent was just concerned. I at this point have no idea what is going to happen. My friend from here said she would love to give us a shower and then his mother wouldnt have to worry about it. I think I will just go with that. If it doesnt offend Brents Mother. What do you think?
