EDIT: *****************UPDATE***** PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED **************

My MoH is my older sister. She volunteered to plan my bridal shower. It is 16 days away and she has yet to do anything, and has asked me to do most things along the way.

I have been roused into planning my entire bridal shower with the small help from our grandma since it is at her house.

FYI, I didn't intend to 'plan' my own shower. My sister asked to 'host and plan' it then she just kept asking me to take care of duties and I complied.

I had a long text conversation with my sister asking her why she hasn't done anything and why she wanted to plan my shower if she did not intend to do so. It transpired into her cussing me out through text and telling me she's "done" and "won't do anything".

I replied through text telling her it was wrong of her to cuss at me and that if it was too much work for her to pass it off to the others who asked to host it...

    Rachel D. I am happy with the small bit of constructive criticism I received. And I used it, I am happy to 'invite people to weigh in' bc I can take responsibility for my actions right or wrong. I wanted to know what was objectively 'right' and I got many responses, mostly rude, but still. I just wanted objective advice with what to do.

    I'm sorry, I understand where you are coming from now. You are very right. Health is really the only thing that matters in the end.

    I did not see your 2:12am reply.

    Best of luck to you. I hope everything goes well. There's some truly mean people on WW, and I mean that. There's ways to give criticism without being abrasive or disrespectful, and I can't understand why people sully that line. Don't be discouraged, just take the good criticism and move forward. I'm sure it will all work out for you..

    C & C -- thanks for that. I just don't want you to regret anything, young lady, because regrets just suck. Life changes in a moment. You run in the house with a grocery bag in your hands to answer the phone, and that call, something that doesn't even sound like English, changes everything. I wasn't trying to guilt you -- I just want you to know that one day, you may think all of this drama was nothing more than drama...and seriously, it is. That's all. I truly wish you. and every other man and woman in this community, the best that life can offer. Hold fast to her, C&;C -- she's irreplaceable (and I'm convinced you already know that). Have a fabulous wedding.

    I think the bride knows that she isn’t owed a shower, but when someone says they are planning one for you, then you expect them to follow through. Otherwise, as she said, someone else would have done it. Confronting someone when they are supposed to plan your bridal shower (supposed to, because they said they would) I believe is 100% okay. The bride is not in the wrong here.
