In a few days,I'm going to New York for my future sister in law's bridal shower.You'd think I'd be happy,right?WRONG!! The woman is extremely unfriendly & in my opinion,I think she asked me (and my sister) to be bridesmaids because we're her future husband's sisters.My sister isn't thrilled about going up to NY either for the bridal shower & to be quite frank,neither is my mother. I've tried everything to get out of going.But no such luck. At first we weren't going to go to the shower. But my mother found cheap fares to go to NY.It'll be just for this upcoming weekend. But it'll seem like forever!
She doesn't know that the 3 of us are going up there. So help me,if she sees us & has an "Oh (EXPLETIVE!)" look on her face,I'll blow my ever-loving top!

I know exactly how you feel. A couple of years ago I was in a wedding that I really didn't want to be in for my ex-best friend (it's a REALLY long story) and ended up going to several showers for her where I think she just expected presents. No travel was involved, it was local, but still really frustrating! It did make for good stories later though and now I kind of laugh about the whole thing. We still don't talk to each other though.

If it really is that bad, just skip the brouhaha and go see Conan. That's what I would do.

I agree. Time to turn the tables, Kat'! Reason is, if you and your sister don't expose her now, it'll be too late.

You'll be kin folk, and no need putting that stress on your brother.

Go. Go for the fact that you WANT to get the look on her face, and make it as hard on her as you can. It's obvious she doesn't give a hoot about you all--since you feel that way about her--so what've you got to lose?

Take it from an only child: Spills are thrills! Clumsiness happens. She can't blame you if she has a lamp sitting too close to the edge of the table! And, you can always use the whole, "Oh, I have no idea what's wrong with me today!"

And don't forget to solicit sympathy from other guests (over empathy of the sister-in-law-to-be) by referring to your medical conditions...which could also over-shadow her glory as the attention of the bridal shower.

Yessss, yessss...use the power within you to thwart her evilll plans! and then the circle will be complete! After all, what goes around, comes around. Aren't I just perfectly evil?

And if that doesn't work you have the dynamite Chris just gave you!

INDEED. I KNEW there was a reason I liked you, Sugabritchez!

Just GO, Katz. Don't get in a tizzy over it. Just GO, and BE YOURSELF. (Of course, if "yourself" happens to be a little "BLUNT", as my family euphemises it, by all means, go for it!) It's even better if she DOESN'T WANT you there, as you are under no obligation to please her, and if she's not happy a/b your presence, well hey, you're off to a FLYIN' start! Seriously. Go. Be yourself. Have fun. EAT FREE FOOD. And don't care whether or not your presence is getting under your future siser-in-law's skin, and DON'T let her get under yours. In fact, TELL HER just HOW you feel about her. (You'll feel better about doing it NOW than you would if it all ended up coming out MUCH LATER, anyway.) You two are under no obligation to like each other, and if she DOESN'T like you, it doesn't matter. There's plenty of people in this world who do.

My advice to you is this: Go, just to see the look on her face. And search on Google for some cheap tickets to "Phantom of the Opera" and go see that, to make the trip more worthwile than it would have been.
