Aren't families wonderful? Having someone in your life who insists on making everything about themselves is challenging… to say the least. Hijacking events to suit her own preference is probably only the tip of a very large hidden iceberg when it comes to dealing with this stepmother.

This couple found themselves the target of the husband's evil stepmother after her efforts to claim a grandchild from her own children were thwarted. Her ambivalence and disinterest toward them and their pregnancy suddenly turned to overbearing obsession as she insisted on replanning their baby shower into a vision of her own, an aesthetic that her step-son describes as being "Barbie had puked all over Hello Kitty's birthday party."

When attempts to un-plan the replanning fell on deaf ears, the couple employed the help of their friends to retake their party back.
