Invite her to my baby shower?
Okay, so my partner and I was talking and he wants to invite his daughter's mother to the baby shower. Me her and her mother (childs grandmother) had a fallen out. They disrespected me so they received the same treatment. They have yet to apologize. He wants me to do it,however, they could call me too especially since they disrespected me first.I understand the bigger person act, but the things they did i prefer them to call me.
Okay, so he says he wants to invite them to my baby shower and wedding. why would I invite people i'm not to fond of? I no longer have an ultimate beef with them, however, not comfortable with inviting them to my special events in my life. Would you invite someone at a special event if your partner was uncomfortable around that certain person? What should I say or do? Because it is NOT happening even if we are on great terms. We haven't talked since the incident, but i don't hate them just haven't but put in a position to be around them. I'm only a couple months pregnant, but he is messing with my mood swings right now! lol
Im talking about his baby's mom and grandmother btw

Nooooooooo, not your baby shower, if she hasn't even made the effort to apologise and congratulate you on your pregnancy, then forget her.
Unfortunately, your wedding is another matter, as it is yours and your boyfriend's day, and if he really wants to invite her, you will need to discuss that, and maybe find a compromise i.e. not invite her to the daytime, but invite her to the evening reception?
She is your boyfriend's ex, why WOULD you want her at your baby shower?
Silly man, the shower's none of his business! lol

You should never invite anyone you really dont want to or want to share a special moment with the shower is a ladies event so he wouldn't be there anyhow. So no to the shower however the wedding may be different you may want to invite the little girls mom especially if she'll be in the wedding. Hopefully this helps. Lots of luck and congrats on both events!

Sweetie lets be honest....they are your special days and you do what you want.....its your party and you can cry if you want to kinda thing!
Your partner should not pressure you into inviting people you don't want to your baby shower...you need to enjoy it not feel uncomfortable all the way through it...i can understand him wanting his mother at his wedding...so fair enough that's where you can compromise....but make it clear she is just a regular guest and if she cant treat you with the up most respect on your special day she can stay at home and be bitter!
Good luck with your baby and your wedding

No, I don't think you should. They'll just ruin these events for you. Wait until after the baby shower and wedding have passed and then maybe you could invite them over to discuss and try to solve your problems with each-other.
Go with your gut instinct. Congrats on the baby, btw.

definite this way your travelers would be attentive to what you elect. yet quite some the time human beings do not circulate by skill of it so it ought to be a waste of time. I had a chum that wrote on each and each invite what she necessary. like the 1st 5 invites she placed diapers, wipes then the subsequent 5 she placed 0-3 outfits and bottles so on etc.

Nope, wouldn't invite them. It shouldn't be you inviting people anyway, who's holding the shower? They do the invites.
Why should you be uncomfortable on a day that's celebrating you? either your baby shower or your wedding? I'd so no way!!

First of all, try not to let anger get in the way. Anger is a valuable emotion but has rarely helped to find solutions to such situations. I would have a sit-down heart-to-heart chat with my partner, to tell him what they did, how that made me feel and that I don't want them to my shower. As for the wedding, it's not "your" wedding... it's both yours, so if this is important to them you might want to respect that.
Maybe just give a call to that lady and tell her "When you said "that", it hurt my feeling and I'm sorry if I overreacted by saying "that". I am willing to apologize but I still feel you owe me an apologie too."
If she agrees to apologize and appears to be sincere, why not put it all behind all of you?

Id say don't invite them. They'll only make you stress and you wont be able to enjoy your special days. I feel the same way about my sons father's girlfriend. But I wouldn't invite her anywhere near me in a million years

dont invite them. you want to be happy on those days, and having them around will only make you uncomfortable
