[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if this is the right thread but I am looking for advice. I had a rough childhood and as a result, I am not close with my mother, because most of the issues stem around her. She's a narcissistic, insecure woman who has alway put us down. She is two faced, controlling, and rude. She acts out like a child throwing a tantrum when she doesn't get her way, and constantly gossips and makes things up. My MIL is the COMPLETE opposite. She is the mom I have always wanted -- loving, supportive, always kind to others, etc. We all have flaws, but I just don't get along with my mom.

I live with my husband in his home state, where his family lives, and we are expecting our first child. My MIL and I super close, and she wants to throw me the baby shower. My mom said she should do it, and has always been jealous of relationship. My MIL never had a daughter, and she views me as the daughter she never had. Would it be wrong of me to let my MIL throw it and not my mom? I know it will upset her, but she and I don't get along that well. She will turn it into a party for her, like she did my older sisters baby shower. Any advice?[/quote]
