@ baby shower vent

[jennlin]

i'm sorry, i see how that can be annoying....ask your sister if she can help pay for a couple hours of house cleaning for before and/or afterwards.

and hosting a baby shower at your house? definitely not tacky...but very practical. no lugging of gifts from one location to another.

if you are close enough to her, just be honest! Tell her if it's at the house, she and friend are responsible for set-up and take-down - she probably hasn't thought about all the stuff that goes into hosting besides invites and food.

[amandasw]

yeah, I get it. I would be the same way (although, you guys don't ever have leftover food? like, you always throw away the extra?) and often move things around because H will just put things in random places sometimes.

on the up side, you're getting a shower

What about bringing it up and suggesting a change of location...like lower key but at a restaurant/brunchie place? Then you have to lug home presents, but no house cleaning?
