ahh..baby shower stress.
Multiple people have voiced an opinion about where my baby shower should be....
Unfortunately..each opinion is different. Now I'm stressed out.
My BFF wants to have a joint one like she had for my bridal shower. The problem being, she wants to have it in her town, which all but maybe 3 people would have to drive at least an hour for...with half of the people driving about 3. She was the first one to say anything...as in she was thinking about it immediately.
Now there is my MIL who is insisting that she have one in Pittsburgh for DH's side of the family (note: BFF is part of DH's side of the family).
My best friends from home were apparently also talking about having one in my hometown when I mentioned about MIL.
I'm thinking having the one in DH's hometown & one in my hometown is going to be easiest for most people attending each. BUT I feel terrrrible now because of BFF thinking about this shower she was going to throw. I guess I need to tell her tomorrow and hope she is okay with it. I hate that I have to be the one to tell her when MIL is the one putting the kink in her plans (and DH won't deal with this for me or tell MIL to deal with it for me).
UGH...sorry needed to vent this out.

Yeah, I will offer for her to help my MIL.
She is due this month with baby #2, so this could be a blessing in disguise for her. I just don't want her to think I'm not grateful for the thought. And I'm sure she will understand. I just don't like that MIL has put me in this situation of being the one who has to deal with it.
Me too... It sounds like you're super close to bff but just choose the places where most of your guests are near to... sounds like your hometown and DH's hometown are logical. Tell her of course you'll absolutely be at her baby shower. In the end, maybe this time, you guys should do your own individual days.
Deep breath... it'll be ok.
Just talked to her. She knows MIL can be a royal PITA, so (why she sounded a little annoyed at first..and understandably so), so is okay with it and said she would help if needed.
Glad that's over. Now MIL is hogging all of the available weekends until she can talk to all of her family to find the best day....meanwhile my friends are waiting for a day that works. UGH..seriously..why am I moving CLOSER to this woman???
