Why is everyone so stuck up about people bringing gifts to the baby showers? I would much rather have people come to celebrate and have fun than be greedy about gifts. It's not other peoples' responsibility to provide for your child. It's yours. You got knocked up.
I was more bothered about people not showing or having common the courtesy to tell me they weren't coming. I invited 100 people and showed. Quality over quantity is my motto, the gifts were the added bonus... I really just wanted to see all my family since we're spread out.
I don't know what you mean lol I'm a little confused on they way you wrote that Hahahah but I'm agreeing with you.
Then one should probably reevaluate the people in the life.... Why would I even want someone to come if that's all they're doing? But I would've bought those decorations whether they came or not, and had made food whether they came or not so why does those few people get to dictate the love of other people? @valerie_jean
Amennnnnn. I wanted people to come support and celebrate, not bring gifts. BUT I can see where others are coming from- like you spend all this money for decorations, food, etc and they come to eat and leave. That's upsetting too.
Parents:
Psa... Lock your vehicle up if you have carseats!!! People are stealing them to take to walmart for the $30 gift card!!!
School fees
Having an intense debate on Facebook about school fees for public school. I'm in the "stop whining about school fees and stop having kids if you can't afford them" camp and there is the other camp of "free school is a constitutional right! It's bull s*** we have to pay anything at all".
It's ok to say that pregnancy sucks. Because for some, it does. Not everyone has a pregnancy with no symptoms or complications to complain about. If you admit it sucks, it doesn't mean you're not greatful or don't love your baby. It just means you're being honest. The same with motherhood. That sucks sometimes too. That doesn't mean you don't love your kids and don't do your best to give them the world. I know it's old but it popped up in a snapchat story about how people (Especially other moms)...
Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
To the people who have boys/about to have s boy- what are their names?
Exactly @sarinunez those that matter will be there or have a valid excuse for not
