I am in a wedding going to a nice island- at first everything seems to be fine, bride's mom wanted to throw bride a Bridal shower( which I felt was fine if her mom was throwing it)because the bridal party is having a jack and jill. Well somehow it was expected that the bridesmaid pay for the food, and help with the shower, and bring a gift. I sucked it up and said I would bring a few dishes and drinks, well I felt like it wasn't enough and everyone wanted to split the cost of dishes and it's been going back and forth. To top it of the bride emails me thanks for help cleaning up- now mind u I bought food, set-up and cleaned and that's the thanks I got and in a few weeks we get to plan the jack and jill the brides not paying for any of our expenses to go away not event he ride to the airport that was $40 pp and to top it off it's right before christmas and the other bridemaids dont' understand where I am coming from because they are getting married next, I am a divorced single mom any advice? I feel like they think Iam not pulling my weight. How do I express my frustrations to them ?
