What do you all think of this?
So my shower is Sunday, and we did not meet our minimum of 40 guests (women), so some of the men can come to eat the extra plates in the bar area. The place already told us that we would be able to do this.
FBIL was supposed to be getting his wisdom teeth out on Friday, so would be knocked out of commission for the weekend and couldn't come to help move stuff after, but it actually worked out because he was going to stay home to watch their dog, which GOD FORBID should be left alone for more than 2 hours at a clip. As it turns out, with FH, fathers, uncles, etc...we ended up at exactly 40 people, so my mother told FMIL that we are good now and we have enough bodies.
Well, FMIL called up yesterday and told my mom that for whatever reason, the surgery was postponed, so FBIL will be coming after all. My mom was kinda like ugh, because she has to pay for one more plate now, but was like ehh, whatever, he's a good kid, I don't mind. But then she asked if he was coming, who was watching the dog? So FMIL says oh, he's going to come for an hour or too and then leave to go back home to watch her.
So that kind of annoyed us. Don't get me wrong, I like my FBIL and we get along and everything, but in this particular instance he is serving no purpose whatsoever for the shower because he's not helping to carry the stuff out and move it back to our house. I legitimately don't think that FMIL thought there was anything borderline inappropriate about this, so I can't *really* be mad, but I have a really hard time wrapping my head around the thought processes of this family sometimes![]()
