Stupid Baby Shower
History: a friend of mine's fiancé and I are both pregnant and due within 2-3 weeks of each other. This is the second child for both of us. A while back she suggested we have a joint baby shower together and host it for each other. I was uncomfortable with this idea because it would feel like I was asking people for gifts under the ruse that I was hosting for someone else so I said "I think one of my other friends is going to host a baby shower for me, but I would love to host one for you" - this was a lie - nobody that I know of is hosting us a baby shower. This is her second DS and my first DS.
So anyways I ask her if a certain date would work,masked her the theme to her nursery etc and started planning for her.
Today I wake up to a FB post of her asking others if a different date would be better! She did not consult me at all before asking if she could change the day!
I am just flabbergasted. I'm already sad that nobody has wanted to throw me a shower (except this girl and there were strings attached- I throw one for her and I think it's just tacky). There has been 5 years since DD and the sex of the child is different. We need boy clothes, new carseat etc. my family threw SIL a sprinkle for her second child (she had 2 DD's) and they were only 14 months apart!
So I'm already a little sad that nobody wants to celebrate the birth of our boy but now I have to deal with baby shower diva? Oh please.
