no respect!! (long sorry)

I swear to god my step mom has no respect for me or my boyfriend. I wanted just one shower, just so all family's could meet but no she had to make it her own and split it up, my mom was willing to let the bs aside from my dad (they are split) but no they can't be mature and go to the shower,  so my step mom made this shower that I had no planning in, it's just who she wants and how she wants it,  along with the fact that she had no intention on inviting my boyfriend family, she's just having this shower for herself. And that's just the start of the disrespect! She mocks the name I picked out for my daughter, and expects us to brush it off. Ughh

I totally know hoe yu feel both mine and my boyfriend's parents are split so when we had our first child it was very nerve racking that they would all join together I guess there was words exchanged and hurt feelings in the waiting room while i delivered and then came his first birthday we just came to the conclusion that everybody is invited to his party whoever doesn't want to come can miss out and whoever wants to start stuff can leave we just had his third birthday and things are tones better I even cought my boyfriends parents sharing a moment with our son!

What a nightmare!  They're asking you to leave out loved ones.  They wouldn't appreciate someone doing that to them.

Never let anyone stress you out abput a babyshower,the most important thing in this situation is your baby! Thats who its all about. This is my 1st pregnancy and im going through this same situation with my family except for its MY MOTHER who is being selfish and wants to be in charge and is jealous of my boyfriends mother and I relationship. I got to the point that I didnt want a babyshower at all....I jist came to conclusions that either my mom would have to get out of her feelings or not be apart at all. I didnt talk to her for 2 weeks just to overcome my stress. So my opinion to ypu is to let others go until they feel like being apart because once again YOUR BABY is the most important person in this situation!

You should go to the baby shower you planned. And blow off your step mom...what's a baby shower without the pregnant lady...she disrespects you, so why not show her the same. An eye for an eye, maybe that'll knock  some sense into here.

If I don't go that stirs up drama with that side of my family and we're already barely on speaking terms, it just ***** cause I want my grandma and aunt to go to my moms shower but they won't because of my dad. This (shower) will just turn out to be a party for my step mom, she even put that it's BYOB, it's her party, not mine,  sorry I just needed to get this off my chest cause I can't confront them about it.

I'm sorry, I'd contact those invited and let them know it's canceled. Then I would have no contact with her

Yeah I wouldn't even show up at the shower, and if anyone would ask about it I'll pretend like I didn't know.

Maybe dont go? If you really feel this way, invite the others to the one baby shower and then dont attend the one she is trying to plan for you.

This is you and your boyfriends baby. Dont stress yourself out , your stressing your lil baby out from you being stressed. Your step mom needs to back off and realize what this os doing to your emotions.
