Mostly not adoption-related: family/baby shower rant

You need to take a huge step back.

You don't need to be this supportive. You don't need to store stuff for them. You don't need to give them any baby-related advice, or try and bond over kid stuff. You don't need to even throw her a shower.

I think you're trying to treat them the way that you expect the average person to be treated in the average situation, but they've taken advantage of you way too long,

I agree, limit the guest list and tell them that's all you can afford and handle in your apt. If someone else I their lives wants a different kind of shower, more power to them.

Then I would back away. Yes, you're getting a nephew, but I would limit my contact with such toxic life-suckers.
