My sister and I are both pregnant and her friend was going to plan her whole baby shower the girl has completely flaked out on EVERYTHING and she is now just going to be a guest at the party. Since she backed out I have done all the planning myself it has been extremely stressful and expensive to get this party going and she is being EXTREMELY SELF FISH its sickening to the point im just done with all of it. I am on a tight budget because I am currently not working and my husband is supporting us and we have allot of things to purchase for our own baby. I have spent well over 200.00 on this party alone and still haven't even got her gifts yet and NOTHING is good enough for her she wants a better theme, more expensive prizes, she refused to use the invitation that we got and she is now wanting to rent a $150.00 location and then yells at me saying she DOESN'T have the money but is refusing the free location options that we do have this whole baby thing is way out of control because she just NEEDS the gifts she is a single mom getting EVERYTHING from the state and EXPECTS to recieve EVERYTHING she will need for baby at her shower she has no plans on buying NOTHING she wants to get it all free at her shower and if she doesnt get it then its just something she wont have. She called me tonight to tell me that I will be the host of her baby shower because the girl who flaked out told her the person who does most of the work is the Host and that her so called 'friend" was going to call and TEACH ME how to be the host? I told her I will be at the shower as her sister and not a host to celebrate new life of the baby how do I tell her to do it all her self or back off because im so sick of being yelled at because she wanted better Iv just had it she doesnt get that a baby shower is NOT all about her its about the New Life of the Baby and she just thinks its all for free gifts and nothing else
 
Show her and remind her that you are pregnant yourself and can't afford to do this yourself. If she wants to be bitchy make her throw it her own damn self. I did that to my family cause they got so damn bitchy about how I had it set up that I told them why don't they do it so it won't look like I am hosting my own shower. As for her friend, a real friend wouldn't back down and would show support. Maybe she pissed cause she has nobody but you as a freind and don't know how to show that she grateful. Talk to her and if she doesn't act grateful for what's she's getting from you oh well. She should know that at the damn shower she's getting gifts from everyone.
 
Tell her that the baby shower is her present.

Ohhhh put her in her place !

Don't give into her tantrums.

If I were you I'd tell her that unless she's paying for something she has no choice and she has to like it or lump it. You will do things how you want to since you're paying, and if she would prefer to not have it that way, you're quite happy to not do the baby shower?

I live in the UK and over here we don't do baby showers, so I have to say I don't quite get the whole concept of it. I think we prefer to wait until the baby's actually born before giving any congratulations presents... just in case things don't happen as happily as we hope.
