I'm hoping AQP!
The MIL just called me. My husband was sitting at the desk, saw the number on the ID Caller and said, "It's Liz. Get the cordless and go into the other room. I don't want to hear it." LOL!
Anyway, she profusely apologized for her mother's (the grandmother) actions, but said nothing about how SHE acted. She has been griping about this shower since January - every chance she got to say something to my daughter!
She said, "All I did was tell my son to call his grandmother and WHEW, I opened a can of worms. She must have been holding that in! We have never had a confrontation like that!"
I told her that I was not angry at anyone. But, I didn't know what her mother meant by not having a head table or tables at all. She said, "We are used to having a baby shower at someone's house and we don't spend that much money, but I told my mother that it was your decision and that you wanted that and it wasn't her business. I also told her that they made the decision to have the baby without anyone there and we need to accept that." Yea, right, I'm sure she said that to her mother. LOL!
I said, "Well, I'm not used to someone putting together a table swag so ugly. So, we are all surprised aren't we?" J/K!!!!! I didn't say that!
I did tell her something about the grandmother saying she wasn't going over to my daughter's house unless invited and that we don't go over unless we call first. I also told her that my daughter was probably used to the way we do things - we don't get involved in their personal lives - hint, hint.....
Anyway, she didn't own up to her part, but I'm sure it was a little embarrassing to admit how catty she was or perhaps just a whiner. I can forget about it and move on. I'm sure that's the last we will hear of it. Of course, the grandmother may call....... LOL!
