[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I bought an item that was a little pricey but there were other items on there that were $1000+ as well. I guess in my mind, if the family was going to chip in for this item, they can still spend the same amount they were planning to chip in.

I can’t refuse to attend the shower because of a few reason that I don’t really want to get into, but basically[b] if I’m not there, it’s not going to proceed. [/b]

Like I said, I just want to fix any issues I caused and tbh, I just want them to stop being mad at me. I know that’s a bad reason to apologize but I’m not really sure what else I can do at this point.  [/quote]

Are you the new mother's parole officer? [/quote].

To the OP - I think you disguised the story well enough, but My vote is that you bought the crib for your son’s girlfriend/wife and he let you  know that her family who is a bit less well off was expected to chip in and buy that gift as a big gesture. They already feel “less than” because You are the rich grandparent side and they are not. In fact You are actually “throwing” the shower in your McMansion or another large costly venue, which is why you sort-of have to be there and cannot end the “friendship/relationship.

That, or you’re the step mother who is showing up the bio-mom/family in fhe same way.[/quote]
