Baby showers are supposed to be fun, but not when you’re pressured to contribute.

This woman made her sister-in-law’s wedding cake for free, but she never even said thank you.

Now her mom wants her to make a dessert table for her sister-in-law’s baby shower, but she doesn’t want to.

Should she do it anyway?

Check out the full story below.

AITA for refusing to make the dessert table for my sister-in-law’s baby shower?

I’m a professional pastry chef.

I previously made their wedding cake free of charge.

Yet, I never received a thank you or any acknowledgment from her.

This woman’s sister-in-law wasn’t very friendly or helpful.

She also never initiates speaking to me.

I always have to be the one to say hi first and ask how she was doing.

When I had my baby shower, she didn’t offer to help plan. She didn’t contribute anything.

So, she refused to do a dessert table for her sister-in-law.

Now, my mom is pressuring me and guilt-tripping me.

She wanted me to do the dessert table for her baby shower.

I said no.

And my mom is acting like I’m the villain for refusing to help.

Her sister-in-law may not even want her help. It sounds like her mom is the one who is upset.
