[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my heart aches for you.  They’re terrible for asking this of you.   Truly, there is no way I can see their point of view or make an argument that this is a gray area.  I agree this isn’t for you to fix.  They’ll have to find someone else to host- and yes it’s weird they are involved but people are like that now.  I cannot believe they are more concerned with an etiquette rule about direct family not hosting than with your feelings and comfort level. That’s the opposite of good etiquette![/quote]

OP here.. This just made me laugh about the etiquette of hosting vs. my comfort. Thank you! [/quote]

I’m glad I could make you laugh a little bit bc it really is that ridiculous!  Typically for people who follow that rule (and yes, it is the rule), a friend of the grandma (mom-to-be’s mom) steps up.  So grandma needs to go hitting up her friend for this favor if that’s how they plan to keep it classy.  Coming to you was just behind.[/quote]

This is your answer OP. Tell them you are worried that people will talk if you host the shower since you are related. One of the grandmas' friends should step up to do the hosting. You SIL can also have multiple showers if nobody has a big enough space. One for mom's family, one for dad's family, one with friends.[/quote]
