Good morning ladies! I have a question for all of you....
My mom and my best friend are throwing my shower together. It is October 20th so not too far away. My best friend had her baby at the end of August and has been having a rough time with him. He was lactose intolerant and they didn't find out until he was a month old so he had a lot of stomach issues (she couldn't breastfeed so they went on formula). He is up frequently at night and she is exhausted. She has a 3 year old son who goes to daycare but he is doing well the new baby. I can rarely get in touch with her and when I do it is just short minutes ... which is fine. I understand how exhausting a new baby is. However my mom has continued to plan the shower and has found decorations, games, and is now planning the food. I don't want my best friend to feel like my mom is leaving her out but we've tried contacting her a bunch and my mom really wants to go all out as she couldn't last time. My best friend did get the invitations and mail them out and after that she just hasn't been able to do anything. I did manage to call once and get a hold of her and ask her about the decorations and she said oh I haven't done it yet. I said that my mom had found some things and was ready to get them and she said oh no problem.
As it stands now, my mom has pretty much planned everything and I was wondering is there a nice way to let my best friend know what all my mom has done? Or should I even bring it up to her? I don't want her to feel left out but at the same time, I don't want her to take on something and then wait until the last minute and her rush and do a half job because she didn't realize how busy she would be. What are your thoughts??
