I'm pregnant with baby number 3 for me. It's boyfriends first kid, his mom's first grandkid, his grandma's first great grandkid. I didn't plan on having a baby shower, but his family wants to have one because it's everyone's first. Which is fine. I don't mind. I moved from Michigan to Kentucky a couple years ago, so none of my family or friends are here. For reasons that I can't figure out, they thought it'd be a good idea to have it at my work. Now, I'm a cna. I work at an assisted living place. Work has no problems with it being held here, they were going to throw a small one anyways for the employees. My thought is, my residents are like my family. I have so many adopted grandparents, it's ridiculous. They are always wanting updates on Mara and appointments and what not. So, I figure if it's going to be in this building anyways. Instead of having it in a back activities room. Have it in the main activities room and let my residents join in and have some fun too. But I also know, hanging out with the elderly makes some people uncomfortable. Were it my family they wouldn't care. They all work in Healthcare. But it's not something his family is used to
@xomommahicksxo @mommyof6griffins Boyfriend says to just do what I want, it's a thing for me. He won't be there anyways. They guys are all going to be off doing their own thing. In the end I might just end up telling his family that that's how it needs to be. I'd feel like an ass having it in my residents' home then excluding them from the party. I'll just cover the cost of the extra snacks we would need. And I'm sure my activities director would love to have a free activity for them
If your job is ok with it then i dont see why not. Im s CNA as well so i understand about them being family.
