So.... having a baby shower after all. And my god mom who's doing the planning for me just told me to make a list of invitees. And oh, women only. No men, no children. Only becuz we want people to come with a gift and not just come looking to eat.
Now before I spazz on her because I'm very offended by that comment, I would like to get a second opinion. Is she justified in saying that because she's putting everything together? Because I know my brother and uncles will go all the way out of their way to get me the perfect gifts for my baby and not just come expecting food. My nieces nephews and little cousins can't afford to bring gifts cuz, hello, they're kids. But it's a baby shower for ME, THE ONE HAVING THE BABY and I want my whole family there. Should I say something to her or stay shut cuz she's throwing it together for me??
Keep in mind I didn't want the shower after I tried throwing it for myself, by myself, and she was nowhere to be found. I bought most of my registry so gifts would only be onesies diapers and wipes. Which I can also buy myself. I'm not having this because I'm asking for help. I'm having this BS cuz I want my family around to celebrate my miracle princess.
Dont say anything but invite who ever you want .... my grandmother tried to say the same thing and i said if thats the case im not going lol
Just tell her that you appreciate her throwing you the shower (even if you're not happy about it) and tell her you want certain people there, and if she doesn't agree to it then invite them yourself, that's what I did when my MIL threw me one, she refused to invite my mother because my mom did some things in the past (a very long time ago) that's still causing me problems but I still wanted her there so I invited her myself. I wasn't about to let her invite all of her family and none of mine 😡
It's your baby shower you should be able to invite whoever you want there. It's a celebration for you and your child, not her. Just because she is helping put it together doesn't mean she should get to make that decision
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...
I really thought I was getting a baby shower and like no one has even thought about giving me one. 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. They gave my uncle one because his wife didn’t want one because she already had a kid.And everyone got a baby shower and was giving one .But I guess it’s okay. 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...
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.
No one is throwing me a shower which I don't care. I do want one for my baby but my husband doesn't want to. This will be our last baby. Even though I want 2 more he said no more so I'm closing the factory once I give birth..... Should I convince my husband to have a party for our baby? It's my last one and every Baby is a blessing!!!! I always wanted to be mother and Hod blessed me with 2. I want to celebrate their life and coming to this world.... My husband said it's stupid to have your own p...
Lol thank you ladies @bri61217 @jc2015 @erica95 I'm going to invite them anyway. But I think she's trying to get a cheap place that doesn't hold a lot of people and I'm afraid there won't be enough room for all my family.
