Baby's Dads family.

I'm starting to look at baby shower stuff and his sister suggest we host it at their moms house. I said no, it's a good idea but my family will feel left out. I really don't want to stress about it but I don't know what to do? My mom will ask why we didn't host it with her, my plan is to rent a place so no one feels left out. He's upset, but am I wrong?

Do what makes you comfortable. But I wouldn't stress about what others feel. It's what you feel.

That is exactly why I rented a place, I found one that wasmt expensive but if I wouldn't have had the money I would definitely just have told them to meet and talk stuff out ao they both know whats going down, my mil and mom met to talk about the babyshower and they both are gonna be just as involved

Ask your mom what she thinks?

Neutral ground is always better especially if people may feel uncomfortable just explain that you feel torn by both families wanting to have it in their home and would feel more comfortable if everyone could meet in a neutral place, or if your house is big enough you could suggest using that, who is hosting it? I would think whoever is planning/ hosting it should have a little more say, but it should always come down to what the one being showered in the first place.
