Do what you want to do. You’re not having the baby shower for ur MIL. You’re having it for you and ur baby. Your MIL doesn’t need to come. In my country, if you have a baby shower, it means you’re rich because gifts aside, you’re still feeding and entertaining the guests.

Have you a baby shower and tell her to keep her petty ass at home.
Screw his mother. She sounds toxic. There’s nothing you can do at this point to make her life you. Have your baby shower. Enjoy your time. Don’t let her live in your head rent free.

Have your shower. She’s mad that her son has stepkids before he has his own kids. That’s a her problem. She has to get over it. Your husband isn’t a boy, he’s a man and chose you and your kids. As long as he doesn’t run to Mommy for financial help,it’s fine.

Oh dear…this is big time right there…first off listening second hand isnt great…her words could have been taken out of context you simply do not know what she actually feels and thinks about you…second, always do what you want and is best for you. Setting boundaries is so important right now especially before baby arrives…invite mil and see if she shows or not. You really dont need any drama right now. This is a sacred time for you. You deserve to be celebrated supported, and nurtured.
You are preparing for your baby. Right now you are in one of the biggest transitions of your life. Keep those who respect you listen to you and know your heart close.
Rich and famous people have baby showers….they’re def not broke.
Do what you want. It’s to celebrate baby!
You should give her the list of all the baby stuff needed let her buy them if she so rich and your husband is just a pussy if he has to choose not to upset his mother over u.Why the hell he got married if his mother comes first???
A baby shower … yes, is to bring gifts… but more importantly- to celebrate a new life! She sounds like a very sad and shallow woman. I would let it slide and invite those that you enjoy being surrounded with.
If she hates you, she hates you. You having a baby shower isn’t going to “make it worse”. Mama probably doesn’t care about baby showers and maybe has been to a few, but because it’s you, she has all these negative things to say. Is your husband her only son? Or the favorite? She may suffer from emotional incest and is extremely jealous right now especially since it’s his first child. Have your baby shower and enjoy your day cause the cost of baby shower isn’t for broke people
go ahead with the shower, but dont invite her!
It’s a baby shower…
If I were you, I’d still have a baby shower invite all your friends and family… but leave her broke ass at home!!!
That’s her problem
I wouldn’t give in to satisfy her, don’t start that trend hun! Xoxo You and your husband are the ones to make the decision and you want one, case closed Momma!! Congratulations on a new baby!! Soo exciting!!

I’ve noticed an increase of pregnant women lately creating posts that they’ve been told that baby showers are for ‘poor’ people and it absolutely disgusts me. It’s for any pregnant women to celebrate the beautiful life that is growing inside them.

First of all baby showers are for everybody. If people don’t like you they will find ways to criticize you they will search them out and invent them
I have almost the same situation and it was 6 years from my previous child and I had a baby shower. The last baby shower I went to parents have the house that’s went over a million dollars and the mother drives the range Rover so… Lol. People also have sprinkles nowadays which is like a mini baby shower for people that are not having their first.
You going to have to decide right now that you’re not going to let her opinions or comments affect the way that you live and parent. Enjoy your shower. Screw her

I know a lot of rich people whom have baby showers. It’s a day to celebrate a new life that is about to enter the world, enjoy your time with family and friends before baby comes, and if you get stuff you need for the baby, that’s just a bonus. So does she think birthday parties are bad too? Like….you only have a birthday party because you can’t afford presents for your kids? Have your baby shower. Invite her and if she doesn’t show up, you will just enjoy it even more. At least you tried to be nice. This is not her baby so it’s not her business. And if your family wants to throw you a shower, who is she to say they can’t? You are not being rude. Don’t worry about her happiness. She obviously has issues with being happy. Just concentrate on you and the baby, have your shower and enjoy it. She can talk all she wants but nobody is going to agree with her.

You cannot please everyone and that includes your mother in law.
It does not matter what she says or does, unless you give it power.
If you want a baby shower have a baby shower.
Her opinion is her opinion, do not let it direct your life.
Be kind always, but live your life how you desire and enjoy the things that bring you joy.
God bless!

I can’t believe she said that. My niece is well-to-do. So was my sister. They had the biggest, nicest baby shower you ever saw. People came from miles around with expensive, practical gifts. The refreshments were top-notch too. I don’t think baby showers are for broke people. They’re for people of good will who love the new parents to bring heartfelt gifts to celebrate the new baby. There are games played that keep spirits high and celebrate babies. I would try to explain that to your mother-in-law and tell her that you appreciate your sister-in-law wanting to have the baby shower. Tell her you plan to enjoy it.
I was broke when I had my son but didn’t do a baby shower
Call be broke then! I’d have the shower and tell her to keep her rich butt at home! Jk no I would have the shower because A. You want to B. Everyone could use baby stuff. They are not cheap and they say it takes a village to raise them so may as well start now lol. I read earlier on another post the parents to be decided to have a BabyQ and is like a shower with friends and family. That could be an option. It’s really a baby shower with a different name so maybe she’ll keep her mouth shut. Id definitely ask your husband to have a sit down talk with mom and explain how her comments are not necessary and not every thought needs to be said. He needs to tell her he loves her but as his wife he loves you to. He needs to demand respect from her and help her realize she is putting him in a bad place- middle of mom and wife. Either way sounds like she doesn’t like you for whatever reason and nothing you do or don’t do will make her happy so live your life to the fullest without being concerned with her hating you more. That’s her issue not yours babe. Respectfully keep her at a distance and be guarded with her.
Have the shower, it’s not her place or business
Baby showers are a fun tradition if you want a baby shower than have one if she doesn’t like them than she doesn’t need to be there
I would tell her to kiss my ass and do what I want to do
Mother in laws can be wonderful but they can always really suck the joy out of your life. It says more about her than you that she could be so hateful to the woman her son loves. Have a wonderful happy baby shower letting the people that truly love you celebrate you and the baby that will brighten everyone’s life. I have tried for over 40 years to have a relationship with my mother in law to only be treated like an “in law” my children are grown adults and we still talk about the beautiful gifts they were given. Love your life… and love every minute 
Man screw that lady! Go have a wonderful baby shower and don’t invite her.

Don’t worry about your mother inlaw. It’s her problem. If showers were for “broken” people there are a lot of broken people out there. It’s a tradition. Maybe she is worried she might be asked for help with the shower? Who knows! If she keeps talking negative I would beask your husband to talk to her

You deserve it! Have a baby shower, make great memories and have fun. Trust me once the baby is born I am sure she will have many more opinions. You have to do what you want to do and once the baby comes you have to stick with your instants and do what is right for your baby. Congratulations mama! 
Opinions are like A-holes, everybody’s got one. I’d back her down now and learn to shut your ears to her comments. Don’t let her get the upper hand. If she’s going to be this way, why not do as you please? She’ll soon find something else to pick on. Baby showers are so much fun. Enjoy your day!

I personally don’t like baby showers because I feel like it makes family and friends feel obligated to buy things for your baby when it’s not their responsibility to prepare for your baby, however, her opinion should not be taken into any kind of consideration, and if she doesn’t like you or baby showers , she certainly does not need to be invited. I would actually make it a point to not invite her to anything🤷🏻♀️
