So I went to the Baby shower for YSD at BM's along with my sister yesterday

BM herself was fine. When my sister and I first got there we were chit-chatting outside with a couple of YSD's friends/introducing them to my sister, etc.. and BM stood there with the door open staring at us the whole time. When we finally made our way to the front step and into the house BM looked at first like she was going to be nasty to us, then she seemed to snap into "Happy host mode" and put a big smile on her face and was super friendly to us both

She was like that for most of the shower, the only issues were really just DH's sister (yes no big surprise) and OSD - she was quite the nasty manipulative SD this time round

Once my sister and I stepped into the house, I see right away that DH's sister is seated on a chair looking directly into the front entrance. She clearly saw me come through the door, she saw me chit-chatting with another of YSD's friends, she saw me hand a pretty arrangement of flowers to BM.

DH's sister sat there and watched the entire time BM and I exchanged pleasantries, chatted with my sister, then big hugs and hellos from YSD who also came to the door to greet us.

DH's sister sat and watched as I followed BM to the table she had put munchies on so I could add the food I had brought, at OSD's request, to the shower.

And finally, DH's sister was sitting right there when my sister and I finally made it into the living room. I said a pleasant hello to everyone as I walked into the room, several people pleasantly said Hi back, but of course DH's sister did not say one word. In fact, she turned around facing away from us and starting chatting to someone else at the moment we stepped in the room. Making it obvious that she wasn't going to so much as say Hi.

Sooooooo immature.

And I don't like that she was rude to my sister that way. My sister has always been nice to DH's sister, has even helped her out in the past (only to be spoken to rudely following that) and so is well aware of DH's sister's "issues" but that still made me have to bite my tongue from actually saying something to DH's sister yesterday

I didn't. I ignored her right back instead

And then surprisingly, a few minutes after that, she said a forced-sounding and slightly sarcastic "hi". I answered with "how are you?" she said good, I said great, and moved right on past her

We did not say one word to each other for the entire rest of visit. She left about 20 minutes after I got there. But not before her, BM and OSD all hung out in the kitchen loudly laughing and carrying on with one another

OSD on the other hand, before all that, was just oh so chatty with my sister. Oh so happy to see her, and fill her in on what's happening in her life. Other than her own sarcastic hi to me a little while after I got there, she completely ignored me although my sister and I were sitting right beside each other. OSD happily chatted with my sister as if I wasn't even there, never so much as even looking in my direction. I completely ignored her in return. Made myself busy chatting with everyone else in the room/introducing myself to those I didn't know, and made sure to have a great time.

We brought beautiful gifts for YSD, made a fuss over her, took some nice pictures of her (some with OSD) but made no fuss over OSD or SGD who was with her.

I did give everyone - YSD, BM and OSD a hug, and a thank you when we left - but just wasn't getting caught up in any of the step-drama

When we left my sister mentioned she thought BM was fine with me, and that YSD was great, but ya DH's sister and eldest daughter - they were pretty rude and clearly have problems

I'm just glad my sister was there and I made the appearance as promised for YSD. And it's now over and done with. Yay!
