There's some jealous involved for sure, but people waste their time when they let jealous creep in their lives.

Yes, it basically was a church sponsored shower. I think because I threw in the most money and purchased everything, it came off that I was in charge - to them. But, that is my job. I'm over that department. Well, I was, until my husband told me to resign. He said, "You spend too much money and I'm not funding every shower and wedding in the county!"
So, now I'm unemployed.
The MIL told one of the ladies from our church, while they were helping to decorate (I was in the kitchen) "She didn't have to go to all of this trouble." The lady said, "That is how Sis. (me) is. She likes everything a certain way". That young lady was priceless in all the help she gave me that day. I couldn't thank her enough. Anything I asked her to do, she jumped in with all her energy.
So, the MIL was complaining to everyone! Lord, almost two weeks later and the whole event is, almost, spoiled. My daughter did get every single thing she needed for the baby. She doesn't need one more thing. That was the best part. I thank the Lord for that. Initially, it looked like we would have a lot of no-shows because the timing of graduation and other events people had going on, but it turned out really well. We did have a lot that couldn't make it, but they sent gifts with someone. I prayed that it would turn out, for her sake.
