Question by cougar2342: should i be obligated to buy another baby shower gift for this person?
my sister in law is having a baby in a few months. she has already had 2 showers that were fairly good in size, and is about to have 2 if not 3(or 4- they keep being planned it seems) more of the same size. i made her a good sized diaper cake, complete w/ items inside of it, the whole nine yards. my new husband and i are currently out of work and having to live w/ his parents. for our wedding a little over a month ago, she fought me on her dress until my mil ordered the semi formal maternity dress i found for her as her bm dress "didnt fit" 2 weeks before the wedding, and argued w/ me about every detail of my wedding(and she wasnt maid of honor either-i didnt have one). she also royally screwed me on a lot of things tied in w/ the wedding- she didnt send out the bridal shower invitations or the hen night invitations until less than a week before the event, and wouldnt let anyone else help her.
that aside, my mil and fil act like she is the first person in the course of human events to be pregnant(when i was pregnant w/ both of my children, they pretty much ignored me. w/ my son, my mil called me cross country to cuss me out for no reason, and w/ my daughter i was forced to ride everywhere in 120 degree heat w/ in a car w/ no ac; i also had SIGNIFICANT complications- w/ my daughter i was borderline gestational diabetic, had preterm labor, bleeding,etc. and w/ my son i had too much fluid(which carries a good risk of cord prolapse, which can be fatal), severe preterm labor(i was having painful contractions for 2 1/2 months prior to having to be induced a week early b/c my son was so big that my body couldnt physically handle him anymore), severe swelling in my left leg, and was virtually put on bed rest for the last month almost of my pregnancy. my sil has had no complications other than a tiny spot of bleeding once. her baby is normal sized. i am not by any means wishing these complications on her or that i am jealous, i just dont understand how the same person can be so hyperfocused on one dil's pregnancy and completely ignore the other one's pregnancies both times.
mil tonight said to me that i needed to buy another gift for yet another shower for sil. i have been invited to one this friday and another one for sil after that, along w/ there being talk of yet another one. i told mil both i and my husband are broke(b/c i am- we are both trying to find jobs w/ no sucess)and couldnt afford to buy another gift for sil(not to be selfish, but our son needs food and diapers too). sil and bil are also better off than us at the moment(they have a house, 2 cars, and both have great jobs w/ great insurance and benefits). is it rude of them to keep requiring us to get them gifts for everyone of these showers?
the week of my wedding i was yelled at by my fil who acted as if my sil was the victim in everything- he even said that my other bm's did nothing and i shouldnt have thanked them at all, and i should only have thanked sil b/c "she did all the work"- which wasnt even true in the least.
i also bought them an exersaucer back in may.
for my sons baby shower, she made a diaper cake(nothing but diapers) and got a set of 2 sleep sacks. for my daughter's she didnt get anything.

No. You have already did enough (if not too much) for her. Tell your sil that you'll be happy to bring a meal over after her and baby come home from the hospital and then leave it at that.

With Fall approaching, your fashion possibilities as an expectant mother get more exciting! The cooler weather ushers in new styles and possibilities for maternity dresses, including cute tights, long sleeve dresses, and fantastic boots to make any dress shine. Fall fashions this year are all about cozy comfort while maintaining a high degree of style. Know what to look for, and you will find a multitude of amazing maternity dresses this Fall, perfect for the office to an evening out on the town!

 
The three quarter length sleeve is big this Fall season in the maternity dress selection. It adds warmth, giving the dress an overall more "Fallish" look. The sleeve is also flattering, adding a slimming and sleek look to the dress. One of my favorite combinations is the v-neck paired with the three quarter length sleeve. Perfect for Fall with the added warmth, it is a flattering and timeless cut.

One great option for any special event is Maternal America's Beaded Maternity Dress. This dress has three quarter length sleeves and a deep v-neck which comes to a finish with a gorgeous beaded focal point. The Front Tie Keyhole Dress, also by Maternal America, exemplifies the three quarter length style as well. Great for work or evenings out when you want a bit more of a fall look, this is a classic maternity dress.

Deeper colors are always a Fall classic, and this year there are some great options out there. The deeper and richer the color, the better! From navy blues, to deep plum, to the classic browns and blacks, the options are endless. If blue is your color, the Maternal America Navy Pleated Dress is also a gorgeous long-sleeve option.

For those who love their classic black dresses, one of my favorites for Fall comes from 1 in the Oven: The Ella Wrap Maternity/Nursing Dress. Quite possibly the softest fabric I have ever felt (and with the aforementioned three quarter length sleeve), this dress is a great option for those who want a classic black dress for work or going out.

If you want to try something new, one of the most beautiful dresses I have seen this fall comes from Maternal America in a rich, eggplant color: The Beaded Dress. Flattering empire waist, gorgeous beaded neckline, and a rich Fall-toned color make this dress an excellent choice.

 
Adding tights to a maternity dress is a great option for the fall weather. Take any dress with wider shoulder straps or sleeves and add a dark pair of tights to complete the look. The Satin Border Dress from Maternal America has wider straps and falls to the knee. With tights peeping out, a look more suitable for cooler weather is created. The Maternal America Forest Print Dress, already perfect for fall with its darker hues of green and brown, looks great paired with brown tights. Tights work well for the office and for evenings out, as they complete a look while still maintaining the integrity of the style.

 
A final aspect to keep in mind when buying maternity dresses for the Fall is the fabric of the dress. A slightly thicker fabric will generally add a more "Fallish" feel to the dress, which allows for great pairings with tights or boots. The denser and thicker fabric will also be practical in keeping you warm.

Overall, this Fall season is filled with a variety of styles of beautiful maternity dresses for everyone's individual needs. Keep in mind that accessorizing with tights, boots, or a great piece of jewelry can personalize any dress!
