32-year-old woman refuses to let pregnant sister use her house to host a baby shower, offers to help pay for a venue but sister rejects all compromises: 'I'm not changing just because she's pregnant'

When I was a kid, my extremely sassy grandma had a magnet on the fridge that said "Guests are like fish. After three days they start to stink." At the time, I thought it was just some corny saying, but the older I get, the more I realize that there was a lot of truth in that magnet. Hosting isn't just putting out snacks and your Chill Evening Spotify playlist on shuffle; you are literally surrendering your space, peace, and sometimes your sanity. 

Still, some people are born to be hosts; they love planning menus and perfectly arranging their living rooms for the amount of guests they're expecting. Then there's people like me who find it exhausting. No matter how much fun it can be in the moment, there is always the aftermath: empty cups hiding in weird places, sticky counters, and a weird "off" feeling that you have to sage away. And that's even when your guests are polite.

That brings us to our tale today, where in one woman's pregnant sister is planning a baby shower, and she has decided that the only acceptable venue is our narrator's house. She has agreed to host her family for parties before, and it has always ended in a trashed living room and hours of cleanup. So, she sets her boundaries and offers to contribute money so that her sister can afford a different venue. At this point, sis calls her selfish and unsupportive. Listen, we know she's not, but sometimes, you need validation from internet commenters, which you can find below.
