This woman has a 31-year-old sister named Anne, who is currently 3 months pregnant with her first baby, and Anne is her only sibling.

Sadly, their dad passed away four years ago, and since then, it’s only been her, Anne, and their mom left in their family.

Since she and their mom discovered that Anne is pregnant, they’ve been overjoyed to welcome a new addition to their family.

“Since Anne is my only sibling, I thought (assumed) I would be the baby’s godmother,” she explained.

“My sister made it seem I would until her husband told her I would need to be married in order to be the godmother.”

“I’m very much single and have no plans to marry. I don’t think it is in the cards for me. I was sad to hear this and kept how upset I was to myself.”

Not that long ago, she took Anne and their mom to a pregnancy expo, and while they were there, they were chatting about Anne’s baby shower.

Earlier today, Anne texted her to give her a location and date for her baby shower, and she asked her why she had picked that place since they discussed a different location at the expo.

Anne responded that her husband’s brother and his wife thought that place was better, and they were planning on having a DJ come to make the shower more of a party atmosphere.

“I was taken a bit back since I thought Mom and I would be doing the planning,” she said.

“Especially since mom will be paying for the location and she has a limited income. Anne then proceeded to send me screenshots of table centerpieces and shower decorations that she wanted me to make for the shower.”

She couldn’t help but start crying because she was that upset. Anne kept on sending her messages and demands, and she finally texted back to inform Anne why she was so hurt.

She couldn’t believe that Anne wouldn’t allow her to be the godmother of her baby and that Anne was also permitting her husband’s family to take over the whole planning process for her baby shower.

“Anne texted back that it’s her husband, that she never confirmed the location, and that I’m making no sense,” she continued.

“I texted Anne back, telling her that helping plan means involvement and that I felt like I was not involved instead, I was being told when things are happening and rudely being told I needed to do the decorations.”

“I also texted Anne that I clearly misunderstood my level of involvement and that I felt I was [justified in being] upset but that I will get over it. She has not responded. My mom is now mad at me for upsetting Anne, and she’s worried it will affect the baby.”

She feels awful about everything. She is aware that it is Anne’s choice on how much she would like to include her in the baby shower planning process, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less.

She’s left wondering if she should have kept her feelings to herself and not said anything to Anne.
