No show

Today, I can't seem to let go of what my family had done. Years ago, they spent hundreds, if not a thousand, for gifts on a family friend's baby shower, yet have bought nothing for my shower, which was two months ago, not to mention none of them attended the shower either. They've had the registry for 5 months, and I'm due in 3 days. FML

I don't think they'd be too concerned that you "can't let go." It seems that they hate you and I doubt they're going to be too wonderful to your baby.

I’m pretty sure there is something important to the story that was intentionally left out. While OP might have been unfairly treated, it also possible there were other reasons her family was not too generous… OP, believe it or not - Once you become an adult (I assume that’s your case) you are not owed anything just for existing. Every relationship, including family relationships involves give and take. When that isn’t happening then things go off the rails… OP I wish you and your baby well. You may need to mend the relationship with your family if you expect them to help you out. Bear in mind that you can only change yourself and not your family. So concentrate on how you can make the situation better rather than on what you expect from your family.
