I find it annoying

One of my BMs is getting married at the end of June and I am a BM.  From what I understand, she barely helped out with anything WR...didn't really get involved with the shower planning or anything.  My sister is also her MOH and is starting the shower planning process.  I am annoyed with myself.....I find myself volunteering for all of these project, mostly because I miss the projects now that my wedding is done.  I wish I was the type to say I will do the bare minimum because that is what she did since she gave my sister such a hard time.  The rest of her BMs are slacking already and making excuses so I have a feeling that it is going to be my sister and I who does everything.  I just can't half-a$$ anything that I am involved in planning.  Sorry for the ramble. I probably don't even make sense.  Vent done!

Re: I find it annoying

  • Totally understand where you are coming from! I had a babyshower for one of my best friends from HS and she never even said thank you. She got married about a year later and I refused to go. Childish probably but she ticked me off!

    I am the same way though, I can't do something half-@ss especially because I don't want my name on something that is crappy.

  • Exactly!  I don't want people talking about how lame the shower was and how we didn't do a good job.  At least I like projects and have all this time when I am really bored since I don't have any projects of my own.  Plus, my sister just got engaged (kind of) and they set a date of St. Patricks Day 2012 so as soon as this wedding is over, I go into MOH duties.  What am I going to do when there were no more weddings?  lol

  • I hear ya. I threw my sister a baby shower for her first, 1 1/2 years ago. She not only didn't say thank you, she also told me "nobody did anything for me". Excuse me? She just announced she is prego with her second and I am NOT volunteering to throw her a shower this time! Plus, she did nothing for my wedding (she was a bridesmaid). She just cried about having no money all the time to where I had to finally confront her about it and tell her she could step down if need be and that "will you be my bridesmaid" is a yes or NO question and she could've said no. She came to my bridal shower over an hour late (that she did nothing to help with) and my mom told me she wasn't even going to go but she made her! Arg (and I got a card, no gift). Beyotchez

     I totally agree with this!  No matter what the situation, I go all out because I don't want to be THAT person.

    Have babies?? Just seems to fall into the chronological order of things :)

    I hate people sometimes, especially the ones that take everything for granted.

    People don't have showers for their second babies. ;-) So you're off the hook.

    They do in my neck of the woods.  And showers for their 3rd.  And their 4th.  We throw showers for everything.
