So Saturday I had my baby shower that was arranged beautifully. But when I invited all these people…

Absolutely not! Something similar happened at my second shower, except it was only my family that came and like 1 or 2 of my husbands family. I just looked at it like a good opportunity to see who is real with me and a good heads up for when the baby comes. Maybe I'm just spiteful or hormonal but still. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed though /:

@aliciadw, i just wished that it turned out better 😕 everyone kept looking at me like they was waiting for me to break down but I wasn't going too because like you said it showed who truly wanted to be there and who didn't. So I took it as a lesson.

You're not being selfish. They said they would show and didn't. They sound a lot like my so called friends. They only get in contact with me when they want something. I'm done with my friends. All we need is family.

You've got the greatest baby shower gift growing in you right now, which I know you already know. Keep your head up sweetheart, like you said lesson learned.

@goodbyelullaby, ain't that the truth. They just kept telling me that they will help with the extras that we didn't get and stuff. But I know that my bestfriend is real because out of the three I truly invited she was the one that was there on the dot

@aliciadw, you're exactly right and I've learned quick that she is going to all I need, thank you so much. Made me feel so much better because its been on my mind since.

My shower was just awkward.... the majority of my family was there but I felt super uncomfortable the whole time because my family is super 2 faced and I felt like they were only there because they felt like they had to be or because now that I'm pregnant and just got married recently that I'm actually worth their time...none of them except my grandma and a cousin followed my theme... they all kind of got what they thought was cute and barely talked to me much, except for the people I barely even knew ironically who actually showed interest in my pregnancy at all...

You are super welcome, every kick is an extra reminder (:

@missyowl92, wow thats not okay... I have that issue with my dad's side of the family. They are all "Christian" and doesn't agree with the premarital sex and when i told them they blamed my dad and said they couldn't say congratulations because they didn't think it was a good thing. They got me something for my baby but it was hard to accept it because I didn't know if it was genuine or just to be nice. So i understand that feeling completely.. It sucks so bad

@megbaby07, yeah... although yours didn't go as planned... I kind wish mine was as small with just the people that mattered instead of feeling so awkward and self conscious...

@missyowl92, I'm really sorry that it was like that for you, I don't think anyone deserves to feel like that on a special day

same thing happened to me :(

@babymadelyngrace, I'm sorry, it was the worst feeling ☹️
