She planned to throw a baby shower for her stepdaughter, but her stepdaughter decided not to invite her to the wedding » TwistedSifter

Usually, the parents are an integral part of their child’s wedding.

In today’s story, a stepmother is offended because she wasn’t invited to her stepdaughter’s wedding, especially since her stepdaughter expects her to throw a baby shower.

Let’s take a look at how the conflict started…

My 22 year old stepdaughter is pregnant with her first child, a boy.

She and her current husband got married two days ago.

That is the problem.

It’s a big problem…

These 2 were many.

From house to house, from bank to bank and dependent on government assistance, mainly because this man will not find a job beyond handyman services (doordash etc.).

We (her father and I) had to give them money and groceries several times, and eventually we even had to tell them that we couldn’t take care of two households.

They were not told anything about the wedding.

Two days ago we saw on social media that they got married.

Apparently his mother collected the stuff.

Her father has not received any messages, phone calls or anything like that.

There was no one from her family present. Only his family.

The stepmother was planning to throw her a baby shower. Emphasis on WAS.

Now. Here’s where I can put the ta.

I was supposed to throw her a baby shower.

I had planned and bought everything.

The wedding changed everything.

But I feel like if even her father isn’t good enough to hear that his child is getting married, my money isn’t good enough for this party.

My husband, my family and my mother-in-law say I should just cancel it.

WIBTA if I cancel the baby shower?

Canceling a baby shower would undoubtedly be a huge disappointment for the stepdaughter, but if it were my stepdaughter, I wouldn’t want to throw her a baby shower if she wasn’t invited to the wedding either!

Let’s see how Reddit readers reacted.

This reader is on the stepmother’s side.

Another reader believes that the groom’s mother should once again take the lead.

This person has a good reason for canceling the baby shower.

This stepdaughter no longer has a baby shower because she treated her father and stepmother so badly.
