My Husband’s Female Pal Pushed to Organize My Baby Shower – I Provided Her a Wake-Up Call

Ever since we announced my pregnancy, Avery, my husband’s female best friend, has been inundating us with unsolicited advice. Her insistence on hosting the baby shower was the last straw! I was sick of Avery’s controlling actions and came up with a plan to teach her an unforgettable lesson.

My husband has a female best friend, Avery. They met at work and hit it off because they both work in the health field, Scott as a food safety auditor and Avery as a nutritionist.

At first, she and I got along well too.

We bonded over music and our careers, and she quickly became a part of our social circle. Everything was fine until I announced my pregnancy.

When Scott and I shared the news on social media, Avery was one of the first to text him. “Congratulations! You two are going to be amazing parents!” she wrote.

It seemed genuine enough. But then, the unsolicited advice started pouring in. Every day, Scott would receive texts from her, suggesting dietary changes and baby products we “had to” get. It was overwhelming.

“Jean, look at this,” Scott said one evening, handing me his phone. “Avery sent another list of things we need to buy. She says we should switch to organic everything.”
