my Mil thinks I'm posed to spend every dime I make on a baby shower. nbs now don't get me wrong of course I want a nice shower but I have other stuff I have to take care of I have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner. and my bubba is starting daycare soon.. so I'm sorry if I can't pay 300.00 on a cake idc if it's with food stamps or not. No one helps me with my kids and I refuse to allow myself to start going down hill to impress a bunch of people I don't even know period.
@brie15, the sad part is I want a cupcake cake.. it's like 47 dollars but of course that's not good enough for her
smh I did my sisters and we made our own food besides a few things which didn't cost much and ordered her a nice cheap cake from walmart and made games and some decorations our self and it turned out really nice I couldn't afford it cause in limited income but I wanted to give her one and I spent most of my money on my nephews carseat but she was just thankful I threw it and didn't care it wasn't this big lavish thing but I really hope things work out for you and you can figure it out cause yeah 300 is alot for a cake cash or stamps that's dang near a week and half of food in my house lol
That sucks. I'm so sorry. Babies cost money. Maybe a cake can be made instead! Much cheaper.
@brie15, I told her that I would be better of buying her stuff myself if she think im going to be over spending on stuff. she is the kinda person that she NEEDS everybody to like her .so she goes overboard with the "idea" but has a lot of excuses when it comes to actually paying for anything
if your gonna spend that much on a shower you would be better off buying everything yourself for baby and like @expectingc said someone is supposed to throw it for you so I would tell her if she is so concerned she can throw it and pay for it a nice shower doesn't have to cost alot
I mentioned that to her and her response was she has stuff she has to take care of. so I agreed to help but it seems like when it come time to pay for anything she looking at Me to pay for it or pay her back.
Woah... With baby showers typically someone throw on for you and you don't spend a dime of your own $.
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
well you better get your cupcake cake and tell her to shove her 300 dollar cake up her butt or pay the 300 her self cause what happens when you pay for a $300 cake and what if some people don't show up or don't want cake so you pretty much wasted 300
