Just another small pain. Nothing big but Im gunna tell it anyways. I know this is not my issue outside of creating the guest list but geezers!
I attempted to go through the list a few days ago with mom and somehow every girl invited to the wedding (with the exception of the OOTers) were invited to the shower. She just isnt understanding that not everyone needs to come. Those family members that I dont really know that she insisted come to the wedding, dont need to waste space at the shower. So after some discussion, I got my way. She asked that I have my own guest list to her by tonight. Fine.
Step back just a tad, she also decided to contact both Josh's mom and step mom to see if they wanted to help throw 1 big shower, or if theyd prefer to do their own. My BMs are not going to be able to make all 3 which means Id be stuck at FIs dads side pretty much alone and thats rough!
So his mom is being a pain (wouldnt be her if she wasnt) and is pushing to have the shower in April, but mom and I agreed we wanted it early March. Well then she throws a tiff b/c one of those days of Joshs bday. To quote Josh "Its my f'n bday, its my f'n wedding. Its like getting double the gifts and I dont have to suffer thru the family of it all. Have it on my bday" Haha I love him. So he called his mom and told her to drop the bday act cuz he told my mom to try and book the place for that day. So then Joshs Gma calls (dads mom) and says she has always thrown her own shower for all her grandkids/wives and says if I wouldnt mind more than 1 she'd like to do this for me as well (which is huge as Josh was 18 when he met her). No joke 10 min after Josh hangs up with her, mom calls to say his step mom wants to just have 1 big one with my mom and FMIL. OH MAN!
I had to leave FSMIL a message asking her to sort this out with gma and let me know by Tues so my mom can get sht togethner. Oh bumpy road. Ill be so happy when Im done with you!
