So I just got back from Ontario last weekend- I went to visit family for 4 days. And to my surprise, my step mom planned me a bridal shower!
Here is a little backstory before I get into the details;
Last year around October, my sister had asked my fiancé for my friends, future parents addresses so she could send invites for a bridal shower. She tried convincing me to go to Ontario, but I could not get time off work or afford it at the time.
Fast forward to April, she books be a ticket to fly there (I paid for half) and I go. Literally my entire family thought there would be a surprise bridal shower from her. She did ask everyone for addresses. Why else would she fly me there? Anyways, it didn't happen.
My sister is my half sister on my moms side and has nothing to do with my step mom/dads side of the family.
So I go visit my step mom, she plans me a surprise bridal shower and invites my aunt/cousins (dads side), future parent in laws, friends. It was small. My sister was not invited because my step mom thought my sister was planning me something.
I tell my sister I had a surprise shower, and she LOSES it.
She goes on Facebook, messages my step mom a huge nasty message. How she would have 'included that side of the family if it were her'. Yet when she asked everyone for addresses back in October, she did not ask my step mom or cousins. She said how hurt she was that she wasn't invited and how she 'paid for me to go visit my dad' (even though I paid for half). She brings up how she paid for me to fly there when my Opa died even though it was her, my brother and my mom who actually paid for that.
Anyways, she's bringing up all of this nonsense....over a bridal shower!! My step mom was trying to do something nice for me and now my sister is losing it at her AND me. I was literally just like I'm sorry, but everyone thought you were planning something and I didn't even know this was happening, so don't take it out on me.
So now my step mom is upset about my sister being rude to her.
I have no idea what to do about it. I shouldn't even have to be in the middle of this. I didn't ask for a bridal shower. I didn't even know I was having a bridal shower. I want to bring it up to my sister to tell her how it is, but she is very dramatic and will probably disown me for a while.
What do I do?!?!
