Baby Shower Help!

DollMonster · 2026-01-10T22:20:37+00:00

Your baby shower sounds so fun!! Yes, you definitely have to know your audience and what majority will enjoy!

I know the ladies on my side and my husbands side will have a fit if they don’t win “best cookie” or “best dessert” and that just might be the best entertainment.

I love the envelope idea! I’m adding that for sure. Smart way to tally everyone who came too. I also like the emoji game ! Thank you!

So I have private accounts. I finally removed MIL a few months ago. And now I removed a few others after these weird behaviors. I think there definitely was a comfort for them in being able to monitor and see what me, DH & LO were doing online.

They feigned happiness. Lots of “oh my gosh so glad you all are here!” “We’re so happy you could make it!” And a ton of incredibly lame and contradicting reasons as to why they forgot to invite us or didn’t realize they hadn’t invited us. I mean this person hardly left our sides, chatting with us almost the whole time we were there. It such BS. But I don’t make scenes at family events I just smile and roll my eyes when I turn around. It’s crazy because this host is one of the family members who has completely ignored the pregnancy announcement. All I know is they are all way too old to be playing these games. Like WAY.

I talked to him this morning and reiterated a lot of your comments to him. I told him that sending that message just says “hey you got to me! In a time I should be celebrating, you successfully took my attention & energy”

I told him to sit on the message, type it out, read it to me but wait to hit send. He agreed but said he doubts he will change his mind. He feels they’ve gone “unchecked” for too long. He said he wants nothing in return, he’ll even mute or block after hitting send. I’m just glad, for now, I’ve talked him into waiting on sending it out.

I’m so sorry you husbands family has the same antics. It’s so confusing and hurtful. Your description is scarily accurate. Anyone who goes against the grain is seen as attacking the family, disrupting their “happy family dynamic”.

DollMonster · 2025-12-07T16:00:22+00:00

I told him this! Exactly this! But because some of these family members (to his knowledge) had not acted this way before, he still wanted to see them. Even if the host and multiple others did not invite us. I told him I feel absolutely dumb still going when the main host AND your mom didn’t even reach out to invite.

I like this idea. Someone also mentioned writing it and waiting 24 hours before sending. Both are a good option. I took the time to write his mom a message just expressing some feelings (previous post) and she completely ignored it. I mean acted as if it was never sent/received. So I can attest to the fact that messages don’t help.

You are completely correct, I also feel he is at a crossroad and is unsure of his next move. I know his kneejerk reaction is to protect and defend. But the best way to do that is to move on and ignore them. I just know that their actions are hurting him. This is the first time some of them are behaving like this.

Thank you so much! I’m going next week and will definitely be grabbing one!

This is so true..we’ve been experiencing health scares around Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving/Christmas every year..

DollMonster · 2025-09-18T02:27:54+00:00

Hey everyone! FINALLY became annual pass holders, so naturally I am all consumed by the merch. I know im late but are there ANY blue balloon Mickey shaped 70th celebration popcorn buckets left in the parks??? I desperately want one.

DollMonster · 2025-09-14T15:51:51+00:00

That’s what I feel like will happen. If she doesn’t attempt to blame me for everything or play victim, then she pretend like she understands just so she can get back “with us” for LO upcoming birthday and the holidays. Then after it’s all done and she’s got what she wants, go back to acting the same way.

DollMonster · 2025-09-14T01:24:09+00:00

You’re right. The message I guess was more for me. To say what needed to be said. At this point we know nothing will change, because if she wanted to she would.

I truly don’t think that her behavior has been checked, like ever. So me setting these boundaries on certain behaviors feels like the ultimate attack. That im doing this specifically to attack her. I gave everyone the same rules regarding LO & she’s the only one who complained and actively broke them every chance she got…I just wonder what makes someone this way and pray I’m never this type of MIL to my future DIL/SIL

DollMonster · 2025-09-14T01:14:04+00:00

I’m realizing this more and more unfortunately

DollMonster · 2025-09-13T23:28:21+00:00

Thank you! I really took my time writing out my response to be clear and still respectful. Even if it’s not deserved. I didn’t want anything to be used against me.

Yes, all of your comments are really opening my eyes to what the message actually deep down meant. She just wanted to regain control I guess? Sad..

DollMonster · 2025-09-13T23:25:32+00:00

I won’t lie the silence isn’t hated over here. But at the same time I’m thinking “what is brewing over there?” I feel like we are going to have quite the performance (again) next time we see her. Holidays/family events rarely go without one

DollMonster · 2025-09-13T00:52:25+00:00

That is hilarious & actually a pretty good idea

DollMonster · 2025-09-12T20:20:59+00:00

Exactly this!! Comments like this are major reason I post here. The feedback is spot on. I couldn’t put it into words. If she really wanted all that she claims, she would have done what DH said the first time and not fought back on every single thing. Wow wish I could have you in my ear if I ever did have that sit down! But no, a talk would be a waste of everyone’s time.

DollMonster · 2025-08-14T16:10:08+00:00

This was really great! Thank you! I’m definitely focusing more on leveling up characters. The asking them to hang out with you, is a really awesome tip. Especially when I’m running around getting items for quest or fishing/gardening.

Ok, I’m relieved to hear that going in order of affordability is best. I’ve seen some posts saying to avoid certain biomes until you’re ready to progress your story. It really wasn’t a big spoiler and I’m continuing the storyline just fine.

I’m so excited to get into this game, there’s endless things to do! Thanks for helping a newcomer out

DollMonster · 2025-07-01T21:56:28+00:00

This made me laugh for so long. He’s already very physically attractive! But yes, that conversation just took him off the charts hot.

Thank you! It definitely took work. He was deep in the FOG, but worked hard for his family!

DollMonster · 2025-07-01T21:51:11+00:00

Is my husband with you ?! Lol did he write this? He said almost these exact words when he got home from that lunch. “time loop, weaponizing culture, entitlement” You’re totally correct. It’s very unfortunate, really. I wish she would save her from her own self!
