Morning DWIL
I need outside advice. My aunt offered to throw us a sprinkle for our daughter due soon. I'm currently almost 35 weeks pregnant. Because of my health, they want to take her via RCS at 37 weeks. So soon DH and I will snuggle out sweetie! My aunt did not want it to be a large shower so we decided to do a small family dinner in a Sunday afternoon. She offered the shower. To keep the numbers down I offered to host a smaller function for my closest friends later. The guest list immediate family only was 25 people (large Southern family). Aunt was to cook, DH and I purchase the drinks and decor. Everything was set earoly this month.
My aunt texted me last night that her beau who she shares a home with decided he wants his family to attend because his neice and her family are moving out the country the day after the shower. I don't know this woman. I don't really know his family. I was shocked because it would be 20+ people at our baby sprinkle I don't know who are there to celebrate their relative before she leaves America.
I tried to rationalize it. But I could not. I can not see how you combine a baby shower and going away party for two strangers. So I told my aunt to cancel our shower. DH and I can do something.
Now I'm getting phone calls from family because I've hurt her feelings apparently. I'm upset that our daughter can't get her own special sprinkle.
Am I wrong that I don't want to share this day? Especially when I have friends who will be our baby's aunt's I could not invite but he can demand his family come?
For BG the two families did come together once for dinner and segregated themselves in separate rooms from each other. There was very little interaction and mingleing.
I know If I do suck it up and go I won't be happy at all. I'malways going to wonder why our baby has to share a day with a stranger.
Give me good advice DWIL
Sorry if no paragraphs. I'm in my cell
PS: my aunt told me this over the text. I text her back many times asking her to call. She never did. I didn't call in case her SO was around.
