[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 573242, member: 84"] UGH Why do some folks have to make things so darned complicated???? Mog dear, sit your new daughter to be and your son down and explain [B]why[/B] you are planning to give a shower for her where you live. Explain that it had nothing to do with the shower being given for her in Kansas, which by the way you think is a marvelous idea and so sweet of the person giving it ( big beaming smile here whether you feel that way or not lol ). Explain it's not your desire to rain on anyone's parade, you're simply trying to accommodate family / friends in your area so they can also welcome the new blessing into the world without having a stroke over travel cost. (ok, might want to word that a bit better my tact is slipping this afternoon) Explain that you weren't planning on accomidating those who planned on going to the kansas shower, just those who couldn't (for whatever reason) couldn't attend that one. Know what I mean?? If you don't sit her down and spell it out, it's going to turn into a huge nightmare. Odds are she is afraid to come out and ask or really say much because she doesn't want to risk making her future mother in law mad at her or hurting your feelings. If it were me, this is exactly what I'd do. Sit down and explain before it spirals out of control, which it sounds like it's about to do. Congrats on the new blessing by the way. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
