So frustrated with my mom I call her and tell her about me planning myself a baby shower an she freaks out on me saying I already had one for my son 5 years ago( I'm having a girl this time around) I wasn't planning anything huge just a small get together with close family and friends an she says no one will come an it's so stupid to have another one an I will get tons of gifts after the baby's born. But when my son was born only one family member came to see us besides my brothers at the hospital. I'm so frustrated I could cry. Why does she have to say such hurtful things. And say no one will come? And that it's tacky and stupid? What's your opinions???
do it anyway. I had 4 showers with my twins 10 yrs ago. I believe you should have one for each baby.
Thank you everyone. What she doesn't understand is my son was diagnosed with leukemia in May right after we found out we were pregnant and neither of us are working we had to take a leave to take our son to treatment which is an hour away each way from our house. So we are struggling as it is. Just don't need the extra stress I was planning close family and friends maybe 20 ppl nothing big at all. An I was going to do it all myself
I had a Bachelorette party and then got married then had a baby shower all in the same year but I graduated in that year as well and my mom said it would embarrass her to ask people to come to another party. I feel your pain, two years later I'm pregnant with my third and I know for sure I'm not getting a baby shower even if it's a girl :( you should go ahead and just do it!
That's pretty ridiculous .. For one that was a long time ago and two it's a different sex?! Like that's really stupid. You deserve it. I would unsertsand if you had a baby like last year or something but you deserve it!
My mom says the same thing. Honestly I gave up the thought of it ever happening and slowly started to buy my own stuff
I had one 7 yrs ago with my son and my mom threw me another because I'm having a girl. If you want one go for it. There's nothing wrong with having another.
I say do it and don't invite her if she's going to be so negative.
