[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for all the responses. I am very grateful to my mom and SIL for throwing this shower for me. I'm uncomfortable demanding they invite the in laws when apparently they don't want to. I feel like my place is to show up, open presents, and thank everyone profusely. No?

and yes, this is everyone's first grandchild and nephew on both sides.

I get along great with the in laws, no issue there. It's been suggested I owe DH an apology but I don't feel like I did anything wrong, except get caught between families. Thx again.[/quote]

Why did you ask and waste everyones time when you don't care what anyone says??[/quote]

OP here. Sorry if you think this wasted your time. I'm just trying to explain my reasoning. I hear everyone saying I have to invite them, but I'm not the host. I wasn't asked for my input to the guest list. I understand a lot of you think I'm a horrible person, but I'm also not paying for the party. Thanks.[/quote]

I think we all got that from your original post.  You listed all of your excuses and we got the gist totally.  If you think because you are not the host, then you CANNOT do anything here and SHOULD NOT, then that's your answer, go to it, and why ask us!  You sound slow and clueless to me, and like this is just the start of your nightmare.  Man, get ready for it, if you can't even see or navigate this.

Actually you sound like YOU do not want them there.  That's cool.  Feel free.  Just be honest with yourself and be prepared to deal with the consequences.  Man, the ILs got the raw deal in having you as the mother of their grandchild, nephew.  You suck.[/quote]
