Hi there ladies,
You firstly think 'what's she on about?!' but let me explain. I am Dutch, and am 6 months preggers (also am getting hitched next weekend - woo hoo!!) and in Holland we have nothing like what people know as 'baby showers' in the UK. Spoke to my mother the other day about this and she literally refused to understand me wanting one before baby is here - tried to explain to her the concept of what it is but she said she could just see it as a waste of time. She also said she had literally no intention of helping with the finger buffet I am planning on making mainly for the English side of the family. To top it off she said there was no way in hell she would let me change my surname (we don't do this in Holland) They might be small things but they have really hurt me.
Am I being a stroppy knickers or is she?
Advice please ladies!
