Anyway I have been posting about how self-centered my mom can be. She was really hurt when my stepmom and little sisters gave me my wedding shower, which was only 7 months ago. Because of this when she asked me if she could host the baby shower I said yes. My cousin was right there and asked how she could help as well. So I asked her to help my mom out with the shower.
Today I just heard from my cousin asking me what I wanted for my shower. Wow, what a concept. I don't need a lot so I would prefer to just have family a VERY few close friends. The other day my mom was already telling me she had a few friends that she wanted to invite. Most of these women I would never even want to spend time with outside my mom's house.
I am so greatful for my cousin acting as a go between and being willing to say "no" to my mom's overwhelming personality.
