uncomfortable situation - UPDATED - BUMMER

Original post by madseason

ok - so i can think too much into something - so here it goes...

Ive been on medical leave since Feb. I havent been back at work - although one of the girls calls me from time to time to talk. about 7 of them were invited to my shower - and only 2 called. Shower is next weekend and my mom needs to give a head count tomorrow.

I have their cell phone numbers - but i feel akward having my mom call them. I do NOT want them to know too much whats going on with my health - bc we work in a small room all women - so we all know how that goes - and its just unneeded stress. I dont need everyone talking about me.

My mom doesnt really now how to be like 'oh shes ok - day by day' My mom feels bullied when people ask her questions and she spills her guts.

We contemplated putting my shower off - but its very low key and i want it to happen - im bored and the wedding is in may!

I dont think i should be the one to call - bc im not supposed to really know about the shower.

I was thinking of asking another BM who is 35 and knows her sh!t - excellent talker and polite- about giving her their numbers to call and handle it.

SO MOM really wanted to call so i sat there with her and told her what to say - but she didnt have to bc they are all not coming. She left a message with one - but they all cant come. One said she would send a gift.

I really liked these people. Oh well...

**************************************************8

and now my mom tells me that she invited 65 people and only 37 are coming and shes 'hurting for me' I feel like such a loser. We need 50 to close the room - she cant afford to pay to close it, even tho she wants too..

awwww i am so sorry dont worry bc the day of your shower you wont even think about the fact that they are not there. You'll be too busy enjoying yourself and really appreciating those who are.



I feel like such a loser now bc my mom said she invited 70 people and about 37 are coming. We needed a min of 50 to close the room and my mom wants to pay to close it but we dont have the $


That's awful, I am so sorry this is happening.

did you receive rsvps from everybody? i am sorry, sometimes they want to but cant for who knows what reason. I feel horrible bc this girl who came to my shower, is now having her shower soon and when i got the invite i realized that i cant go. Its the weekend i am away in vegas and everything has already been booked since january and paid for ya know, including all the other girls who booked their flights so really cant do anything about it.

I think were waiting oon about 4 people. Oh well...It just got me instantly sad and my moms reaction didnt help. Im always the one who extends themselves for others when it comes to things like this. And my mom just hates that its not coming thu for me - and its probably true that some ppl just cant go - but i know the ppl at work are all collectivly not coming. thats how they are. stupid me for inviting them. I learned my lesson.

no youre not its them who are wrong and you know what when it will be their time they'll learn their lesson and hopefully get the same back. You'll have such a great time, all the problems before the shower that youre dealing with will not even cross your mind.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this, just because people are weird and lame and rude. Don't trouble yourself over them and have an amazing day... you deserve it!

I popped on. Still resting up & say this. I had to reply to my girl. Don't worry. We want to weed out the bad ones & keep the true friends. I rather have quality people than quantity... trust me.

On the other side of things, it may just be a thing regarding timing, with the holidays being all over the place this spring may be a contributing factor.

Your awesome and a sweetheart. Nevermind those that will not be there, the ones that are are truly a part of your fan club

Agreed. My shower is next weekend as well and I know my sister and mom have invited a lot of people but a lot have said they can't come for whatever. Oh well. The ones that do come will make the day super special for you, because that's what it's about. So go, have fun, enjoy yourself, remember that it's to celebrate you about take a big step in life and just think....those who decided they couldn't come missed out on a great time to be with you!

My mom doesnt really now how to be like 'oh shes ok - day by day' My mom feels bullied when people ask her questions and she spills her guts.

We contemplated putting my shower off - but its very low key and i want it to happen - im bored and the wedding is in may!

I dont think i should be the one to call - bc im not supposed to really know about the shower.

I was thinking of asking another BM who is 35 and knows her sh!t - excellent talker and polite- about giving her their numbers to call and handle it.

and now my mom tells me that she invited 65 people and only 37 are coming and shes 'hurting for me' I feel like such a loser. We need 50 to close the room - she cant afford to pay to close it, even tho she wants too..



First of all don't feel like a loser- you're not! I had about 40 people at my shower and I was just happy that they came- some couldn't make it and sent gifts which is nice but being there is even better in my book.

For those that didn't or can't come it's their loss! I love going to a party no matter what the occasion especially if it's for someone I care about.

You're a great person and I would come if I was able to!

Somehow things will work itself out- is there a way to get 13 more people to show up so they can close the room? Invite some of us here - we'll get you great gifts
