[quote=Anonymous]Generally, I would say that you should invite your MIL to your shower (if you have a decent relationship with her). But if this shower is exclusively your side of the family, and hosted by your mom, I think that's ok. Why don't you give your mom a call? Don't tell her everything your DH has been saying, just ask if it's only family and say you were wondering if inviting your MIL and SILs might be the right thing to do. Bigger picture: Do you get along with your MIL and SILs? Are they generally respectful or are they huge boundary-crossers? Is DH worried his mom is getting "left out"? Is his mom complaining that she's getting left out (whether that's justified or not)? Would you want them at shower? There's some weird changes that can happen in family dynamics when babies come along, particularly the first grandchild. Your MIL shouldn't expect to be as involved as your mom, but reaching out a little might help the situation a bit. [/quote]
