ugh. so I was trying to talk to my mom about how I was making a guest list for my baby shower.
I can't invite family that doesn't live in town cause it looks like I'm fishing for gifts.
ok does that count when we invited them to my graduation party? or when they invite us to weddings? how is this fucking different.
oh and she thinks I shouldn't rent a hall.
and have it at her place. which is small and maybe 10 people will fit. cause I shouldn't expect much.
One mo' thang...I had a lot of guilt about having a baby shower because in the classic sense you are just asking for gifts so I understand where your mom is coming from, but it's more than that so I handed it over to mom and sis and I'll enjoy the day!
Sounds like mama might be just a tad old school 😁. Baby shower is a time to be showered with gifts as well as LOVE AND SUPPORT. You and baby will reflect on the pics from that day in years to come and who needs an excuse for a party!!! I say if you can afford it, rent the hall, invite everyone you like, love and have an affinity for and get all that love. Hey, they may not see you for a while once baby is taking all your time.
It's the thought of inviting them it's respectful to do so , do whatever you feel comfortable with its your baby shower not hers
that's what I thought too.
but I don't understand her damn logic. and its just making me upset as hell
just ugh. and I have to stop being so emotional. and my attitude needs to stop.
I love her. but I'm glad I don't live here anymorr
