       I can see where someone would conclude that showers perpetuate
       the traditions hierarchy with women on the bottom.
       But you can also look at them as women banding together to
       support a sister. I’m in this second group.

       I'm all for fighting the patriarchy, but sometimes a party is
       just a party. Go if you want, don't go if you don't. Jeez.
       Also, I'd be happy to never see the word "bridezilla" again.
       Talk about playing into traditional roles.

       Woman beating down other women who have a different (i.e. bad)
       value system. It's trite, it's old and we need to do better.

       The last shower I went to involved homemade horchata served out
       of a slow cooker. Also, babies. That I got to hold. It was a
       good day.

       And I especially like the idea of a display type, so that all
       those who want to can gush to their hearts content.
       (but the fact that the LW was bothered by the fact that parents
       sent a gift in their daughter's name is ridiculous.  For all
       anyone knows, she may have said, "Things are crazy for me at the
       moment.  Please spend X$ and I will pay you back)

       Tee Bee Aytch, she reminds me of my mom. All of the bitterness,
       none of the healing.
       I'm sorry her ex-husband cheated on her and the marriage
       imploded. I don't know why she expects anyone who met them after
       the divorce to care about any of that.

       I think it's unfair to call that LW cheap.
       There are lots of other bad things you could fairly call her
       instead.

       Again again this comes up. An invitation is not a command
       performance. You can decline it. Gah. The panty twist over
       things like this just makes my eyes roll.

       Oh I love an update.
       Poor LW has had her answer on normal neighbourhood operations.
       And their pluses and minuses!!
       I think Hax is right about a follow up.  Could even be a card
       (less interaction; give it to your relative next you see them to
       pass on or stick it in the mailbox).  "Rough week with work/dogs
       and then the emergency surgery.  So grateful you helped with
       poor Fluffy."
       I'm not sure the LW should housesit again.  But if she does she
       has the lay of the land now.
