I would really hope that the sweet lil' Mrs EE would do the adult thing and say "Oh gee, I'm sorry, we already had a pre-set commitment for that weekend." IMHO, that's really the way this should go down.<br /><br />What do they think they can do? Just stamp their feet and make everyone jump through their hoops. Sounds pretty selfish and immature, don't ya think? I think that they should be the ones dissappointed if you don't make it, not the otherway around.<br /><br />Well anyway EE, good luck to ya!

Three showers is ridiculous. My family just went throught this with one of my nieces. Is the bride the one making these decisions? Usually somone else gives you a shower. Either way, it was rude of her or them to keep changing the date but whats done is done.<br /><br />Your wife is only obligated to go to the shower closest to where you live. If you have your wife's blessing, have fun at the iboats get together, there will be more of them so she can attend another time.<br /><br />Try not to let this get to you, its just not worth it.

Why get in a lather? If you can make their date, great, if not, its their loss. You are not obligated to go to any shower, reagardless of how many they plan.<br /><br />BTW, I view multiple showers as just tacky. It does not surprise me that anyone who is having multiple showers does not care about your schedule. Its all about them.<br /><br />Get used to it. From the sounds of things, scheduling events with your inlaws will be an ongoing challenge.

Just to show how things have gotten carried away by these little princesses.... my youngest boy got married two years ago... when my then future DIL had her shower, she demanded the fathers be there too. I let it be known right then and there, aint no way I'm going to a bridal shower. She got mad. She got over it. Her dad went though! (He's whipped, if ya know what I mean.)<br /><br />EE are you whipped????

Simple answer... Yes; just like ever other married male on this board. <br /><br />First off, thanks for everyone's responses. Just to clarify, I was never going to the bridal shower, I am going to the iboats get together no-matter what. See, I'm not like them and when I commit to something, I stick to it instead of changing dates 4 times.<br /><br />Is the gal "spoiled rotten?" It's difficult to say. The reason this whole ordeal has become an "ordeal" is because the Madison party (on the 24th) is going to also be the Batchelorette party. So, the gal wanted my Wife to be there since she is part of the wedding party. The Green Bay shower is occuring because my Mother-in-law wants to have a shower close to her - so I do not fault her for that. I wouldn't want to go against the grain with the new MIL. The Racine shower; I'm not quite sure about. She says it is going to be very small - this is the one that is unnecessary. It is being put on by her aunt. So, in reality the extra two showers are out of her control - although in reality she could have put her foot down and said, No... only one party.<br /><br />After much... MUCH discussion, my wife has decided that she would rather go to the iboats get together than the shower in Madison. She is aware that this will probably hack off her Brother and future Sister in-law... but she have to realize that our summer is not orbiting their wedding. After talking with her parents, they even agreed. Their summer didn't orbit our wedding and we did not have unrealistic expectations on them when we got married. So, in the long run, they are just going to need to get over it. <br /><br />Sean

Great.<br /><br />We could have a bachelurette party at the get together if your wife wants one.<br /><br />I'm sure someone will volunteer to be the male dancer after a couple of those special brews. <br /><br />I'll leave that to you younger folks.

Re: Annoyed says I... (Updated)

Cool. Glad she'll be coming to the get-together. I still stand by my air-bed comments on the get-together thread, though.<br /><br />As for the bachelorette party, I think I'll be conveniently out in my boat. I have no desire to see a male dancer, and there ain't enough alcohol to get me to do it.

GAHHHH No male dancing allowed anywhere in the vicinity of our campsites...<br /><br />Sean

Kudos to Mrs EE for her common sense and Kudos to you for marrying a gal with common sense.
