I feel like it is just easier to not have a baby shower at all then to argue with my husband about having me help him or not. He has enough to do with working 2 jobs and watching our son when I have to work. this is both our son the shower is for our son so I would like to help.
it is easier but if ur guy is like mine for every item ur baby needs u might be fighting over "do u really need to buy this"... bb showers do help. just dont expect it to be all u wanted because ur obviosly deal with not just ur husbands input. when inlaws make comments like that they make it hard for husband to work with wife. my inlaws would and do still do things like that but i am getting use to just being greatful for the stuff they
do right and the the stuff they dont i ignore it. just let ur man do his thing and the inlaws too...as long as u get some baby shower is better than non. ur only pregnate a few times in life. just get what u can out of this experience.
all I need are more crib bedding, clothes since I have nothing from my first, and 9 oz baby bottles. I have plenty of wipes and diapers up to size 2. I also need a crib mattress and a new carseat(my mother in law threw away the first one we had) so it truly isn't that much.
