My mom did everything for my baby shower . I helped , but she payed for everything . I told my family I wanted absolutely NO drinking , before or during my Babyshower, because my family consists of alcoholics . My mom was drunk. & we got into a fight before it started . She told me that I'm ungrateful & for me to enjoy the 500$ baby shower . I feel like shit because I would of loved my mom there . But she was drinking . Broke the only rule I had .
@orphanpuppy, my moms the greatest person when she's sober , she can be sober for work . So why on this day did she do that.@kenitra I'm 17. My grandma & my mom are both alcoholics . My grandma has guardian ship of me. & I could never kick my mom out my life. Like I said, when she's sober , she's my best friend .
I come from a large family of alcoholics and I have learned to either cut them out of my life or say "If you drink or act out you will be uninvited and not slowed to come around again". And I mean it!
@neeshadanielle, sit down with her later when she sober or half ass sober and ask her why she did and let her know you didn't intend for her not attend the shower but you were hurt and didn't want to have her around everyone like that.
@orphanpuppy, it's just so upsetting because she was just as excited as I was . Just as excited about my son as I am . & that's why I don't understand. Plus it hurts seeing my mom hurt & I know this is killing her . I just feel like shit .
Gotta do what you gotta do. She should've known better on all days. The drinking could of waited. I'm sorry
I told my friend my mom wants to throw me a baby shower and write on the invite "monetary gifts only" and he told me that people aren't trying to pay for my "gas bill" I'm offended because a lot of money goes into a baby shower, and if you're gonna give me a 10$ blanket from Ross that I probably won't even use it's a waste. I rather use those 10$ for my honest company diaper subscription.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

This is my first baby i mean no one has to do anything for me I just at least thought they had plans for me and they don’t.

I’ll do my own baby shower with my next child I just thought family planned a baby shower for you . Lol guess I thoug...
So I just found out I'm pregnant with my second baby on Thursday and I told my mom on Friday after my fiance told his mom and dad and today I was talking with my mom and if baby is a boy I'm not going to have a baby shower but if it's a girl it's going to be a small baby shower and my mom told me that I can't have another baby shower that it's now how it works. So do I have a shower or not? Any advice?
You have to do what's best for you, but as time passed and I got older, I realized it was worse for me to continue dealing with it. My mom has periods of being bad but I have made it clear to her that she won't see her grandchild if it happens again. I will never put my kids through what I had to deal with. I hope it all works out for you!
