I thought this was something I wasn’t supposed to know about. You know be a surprise. Well my mother has decided to send me emails about every little bit of planning and is constantly calling me about it. I finally told her I’m not supposed to know about it. Her reply was “well you need to know when its going to be so you can dress nice”. Well all know that at 28 years old you still need your mom to dress you and tie your shoes /sarcasm. Well today I find out that my mom has changed the shower date for the 4th time and she made it for the one and only date I will be out of town. She already sent out the invitations so I’m not sure what to do about this. I told her I would not be in town that day (we are going to Gettysburg for rememberence day) but I guess she didn’t listen. My husband has been trying to deal with her and the baby shower stuff because he doesn’t want me to know about it either. He is going to call her tonight when she gets off work and ask her wth is going on. Why can’t something in my life be drama free for once 🙄
October 20, 2007 at 3:44 am #627869Man, you really have it hard, don’t you! If you’re not in town, you’re not in town. It was up to her to check with you. From what you’ve said before, she’ll probably throw a fuss because you’re not cooperating or whatever. Jeez, I don’t know if I’d want the shower after all that trouble.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

October 20, 2007 at 3:54 am #627871Geeze. I’d get the list of folks invited from her, then call them up and let them know you had already made plans that day, and Mom wasn’t paying attention when she did the planning. Then give them an alternative date.
Then tell Mom the new date and that everyone already knows about the change.
That should short circuit some of her tantrum.
Good luck hon.

October 20, 2007 at 4:58 am #627872You poor thing, I definitely know a thing or two about mothers (mine) that think they know what’s good for you and just run right over any objection you might have.
I would just say, “I told you before that we would be out of town. You made the plans, you can change them.” But that’s me, I’ve learned I just have to be firm with my mom.
October 20, 2007 at 11:46 am #627873I dont think you are not supposed to know about your shower. I have honestly never heard that before, but for her to keep changing the dates is ridiculous. 🙄
October 20, 2007 at 4:00 pm #627874What’ll you do, purpledoggy? 😕 Jasmine’s advice seems sound.
October 20, 2007 at 7:08 pm #627875*sigh* Baby showers are supposed to be a surprise and fun for the person having the baby. I hope it all works out for you…
