Is the bride being unreasonable, or am I being a bad bridesmaid? (Posting on behalf of sister)

Ya know... personally I think B is being over the top, but I’m also naturally the type of person who tries to give everyone an out. Example: instead of the way B is acting, I would have initially said “Hey I know Saturdays are really tough for you to get off work. I’d LOVE to have you at the shower, but if you can’t make it I understand.” Then if she didn’t make it I might feel slightly disappointed, but I wouldn’t let it affect our friendship in the slightest- even my closest friends have lives that don’t revolve around me.

Also, the staples thing??? I mean it’s one thing to say I have a huge favor to ask, it’s another thing to assume they’re going to do it and give them a due date. I’d be really annoyed if I were T.

So I would feel very uncomfortable behaving the way B is behaving, but I think that boils down to personality.
