I had my baby shower on the 12th. My mom and my "best friend" were planning it, but they don't really get along very well sometimes, and didn't do a great job actually planning together. My friend did the invitations, and my mom did the decorations and such. I decided I didn't want your prototypical games and sitting around, so I wanted to have it a local Red Robin. I asked my friend to put on the invitations that I was registered at Target (as we only have a few things we really need, and were hoping to get them). Well, it turns out she didn't put it on them, and we only got one thing off of our registration and that was only because I actually told that person I was registered. Then, to top it off, my friend called me half an hour before she was supposed to pick me up to tell me she couldn't go because her 18 month old was sick and couldn't find any one of her million other friends to watch him. I just don't know if my anger is an over-reaction. I feel like she just kicked me in the stomach. Oh yeah...and she was supposed to pick up the cake and call the restaurant ahead of time that day, and my mom had to spend the money on the cake and I had to call the restaurant! She said her son had been sick all morning...she couldn't have called me sooner? Am I just being too hyper-sensitive?

Sorry for rambling, but I just can't seem to get past this, and don't know how to deal with that feeling.

Sounds like your friend was thoughtless and I would be irked. But I wouldn't let it upset you unduly, don't let other people's silliness mess up your mood and your life. It's just not worth it.

I'm sorry it turned out messed up. Sounds like she dropped the ball.

But I will say for the invites I think you're better of that she didn't put it on. It is considered really bad manners. People are supposed to ask where you are registered. It really isn't a big deal to ask(or just check at Target LOL) esp. if they know you well enough to come to your shower!

Big Hugs.

Hugs, Diana. So sorry things didn't go as you hoped/expected for your day. It sounds like your friend had a rough day, too, I know it sucks but a sick little one can make any momma distracted and not at her best. (As I'm sure you know.) I wouldn't let it get in the way of your friendship ... a baby shower is just a moment in a day, a friendship can be for life ...

Hope you're feeling better.
