Hi, my wife is having a baby shower and the list of guests is being made. I have about 10 people on my side of the family and my wife doesn't know them, but I've known them all my life and she doesn't want them at the shower b/c she doesn't know them... This would mean about an extra $1500 to help us. It's 1 f-in day!
Just an fyi, she doesn't care about presents or $ b/c I make the money and will have to cover everything that's not bought. So, basically she doesn't care about the money b/c she knows I will pick up the slack...

She's prego and it's best to just leave her alone and let her do it her way. You don't want to mess with a pregnant woman are psycho for the whole pregnancy.

I suggest you talk through this with your wife. Afterall she is your wife and if you are going to spend the rest of your life with her, get communicating quickly. Tell her how you feel about your side of the family coming. There is no point coming to Yahoo! answers for this answer. The real answer lies with your wife.

well i am not so sure it is just woman because i know men who do it also..but maybe she doesn't want them there at the baby shower because she feels it is a personal party and she doesn't know them.but myself i would include them so i could get to know them since i am part of the family. my question is how come she hasn't already met them before, if they mean that much to you , they should have already met.

Well...you can either pick a fight with a pregnant gal, or give in.
Personally, I would insist that my family and friends be invited. That kid is half yours. If you were to get a divorce, you would have to pay for the child's upbringing. She couldn't have had the kid without you. And, if you are the breadwinner, she should support your financial decisions.
It's your call...but this sounds like total B.S. to me.

You married her so why start asking questions like these. Shouldn't you know things like this could happen? Be responsible for your actions. I am a woman too but I don't do what your wife does. I make my own money so I won't have to bother any man for their money.

I agree with you so i guess i must not be ridiculous.
What is ridiculous is for you try and understand a pregnant woman. Our hormones go wacko we get emotional and moody etc... anything can happen during those 9 months be happy you just have to pay the bills and not get fat and act crazy

Women are just women. Notice "where" the ridiculous has arisen!

a lot of women don't appreciate the stress that comes along with being the primary breadwinner.

From the question and the circumstances, I'd say neither of you are even ready to be parents!
