My SIL asked her bff and I to plan her baby shower together. We divided up tasks (food/activities/decor) and she basically asked if I wanted to do decor. I was good with that because I went to school for interior design. Food was discussed and planned together but I will be the one cooking/baking everything.

Every time I have an idea regarding decor or food, I ask her how she feels about it and to make sure we are on the same page and it’s automatically shut down by the friend and we have to go with her idea. I think this design will be cute, she says no, I want this one. I say we should get food from this place, she says no. Etc, etc. I went back through our texts and out of 11 things I have asked, 9 of them she has said no and that we need to do her idea. She is also very passive aggressive. She won’t say a lot of things straight up and will say it really passive aggressively. She doesn’t act like this in the group chat with the 2 of us and the mom, mainly just in our personal 1-on-1 chat.

Today I asked if she wanted to do a certain decoration because I felt it was too busy. She said she wanted it. I stood my ground and said I don’t think we should do it. She said she would die on that hill and I asked if we could do it but in a different area. She ignored me for a few hours, then replied and acted like nothing happened and asked when we were going to order said item.

I have done SO much planning. I’ve bought so much stuff, done spread sheets, presentation/mood boards, everything. I think she has only ordered a few things. From what I’ve seen and what she has communicated, no real planning. But I could be wrong!

I genuinely don’t know what to do. This is very stressful for me, I’m in school and need to get 90% on the course for my average to get into my dream program. I love my SIL dearly and wanted to help but this is draining me. I don’t know if I’m over reacting or if I should tell her I can’t do this anymore. Her friend is a dictator 😭 help

Hey!!! As the title says, I’m looking for interesting low calorie snacks. I do the usual rice cakes, popsicles, veggies and hummus, popcorn, etc etc.

But what’s something more interesting? I just tried the cucumber + monk fruit + cinnamon. Didn’t love it. I like diet root beer with a vanilla protein shake. I like frozen grapes but they’re a bit too cold for my teeth. But I’m thinking something interesting like those or even better.

I also like popcorn with those salt and vinegar toppings. Also I like carrots with salt and vinegar. Also love fiber 1 bars

I’m on a 750 daily deficit and I’m starvinggg, it’s been 3 months I was fine until 2-3 weeks ago. Now i need some good snacks!!

This is embarrassing but I haven’t taken the bus in 7 years and it’s so different now. I have to take it about 10 times in the next few months and I’m nervous about it

Do I just show them my macewan ID on my phone when I get on and be on my way?

Thank you and BE NICE PLEASE! <3

I eat all meat except pork. Need some good ideas. I love something really brothy :)
