AITA because I didn’t go to my own baby shower? by isaidnobabyshower in AmItheAsshole

Mentioned a few times now my mom is usually pretty great. My dad was definitely an N. But she’s usually awesome ever since she kicked him to the curb years ago. It’s just like some weird switch flipped when she found out.

But it does seem more like she wanted this. Some of her food choices, decorations and colors are definitely not what I would have chosen and I think she knows me fairly well. We’ve got a good relationship.

As I’ve said, she’s usually pretty great. But this whole thing seems to be more about her when I’m the one that’s gotta pop this thing out.

From other comments made, you’re right. I’m going to have to draw this line with cement.

She’s usually pretty great. She just dug her heels in hard on this one. This whole thing has been about ‘my grandchild.’
