Drama seems to be my SIL's middle name, and for the most part I try to avoid it. As I mentioned, she finds herself "miraculously" pregnant by accident. Who knows what her long term plans are with the baby daddy - I know they plan to be together, but I refuse to ask about the band ring she is wearing these days (my guess is so the people around her, namely her bible beater friends, and thos ein the hospital don't judge her for having a child out of wedlock - given her Christian "rebirth" its kinda taboo! Yet her bf's are all gay men - but that's a whole other story...). Again not my issue so, to each his own. By no means does it bother me...
My MIL called last night and asked for my input on wording of invites and help with favors and games. And I LOVE her so I cannot and did not say no. Instead I am taking the bull by the horns, I volunteered to totally do the invites (from start to finish), am looking at favors and games, and even have a number of ideas for "gender netural" themes....given they are not finding out the sex of the baby. So despite the recent issues with her, her brother and I are jumping in headfirst. I know that there will be little to no return, but at least it will alleviate some of my MIL's pressure and headache. And at least I know she will be grateful...
I bet you made the shower fantastic : )
