Today, my mother-in-law invited all my wife’s friends and family, and my family, to her baby shower, well over a 50-60 people. Two people came. FML

OP - That sucks! … It’s so weird that it makes me think that there is more to the story. You realize that most people keep sort of keep a running tally in their minds - Did the guest of honor previously give to my event, was it a nice gift, etc… To be honest, I’d doubt if those 48 or so missing guests were really “friends”. There is a difference between co-workers, acquaintances, neighbors, and friends. While I am all in favor of celebrating important events, it sometimes looks like people throw events just to get presents - And if that appears to be the situation many people don’t really want to have anything to do with it. OP I am sorry for the embarrassment and hurt feelings, this really shouldn’t happen.

Nah, it's just that the wife and him are too tired to organize a baby shower, which is why the mother-in-law did it. Maybe it's better that there was only two persons. Mom and Dad need to rest, and the leftover food will give them enough meals for twenty days.

So you're a grown man with a wife, and your mother-in-law is pregnant? Well, congratulations on the expected family increase!
