I’m having major anxiety about my baby shower. My sister and I have thrown each other’s bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and I’ve thrown her baby showers.
Now I’m pregnant and not sure what to do. My sister is no-contact with our mom. They never got along and eventually my sister decided she doesn’t want a relationship or for her kids to be around her. The rest of the family has acted like nothing happened, except disinvited our mom from holidays so my sister doesn’t continue having meltdowns.
Now that I’m pregnant, my sister is expecting to host the shower, but I haven’t confirmed with her or asked what that means for our mom. I also don’t want to expect my MIL or friends to throw it unless they offer first. My husband might be bringing it up to them to help alleviate my anxiety. But how do I go about wanting no drama? I don’t see my relationship surviving with my mom or my sister if I pick the other, or if I just expect them to decide for themselves. My sister is the drama so I feel it’s unfair to my mom, but I also want to keep my relationship with my sister. I just need to hear someone in a similar situation talk me through it. How have you handled sister/mom drama?
