Planning on another baby...? So for my first time moms when do you plan on having your second child?
So I’m not a fan of my fiancé’s family. I want you all opinion on what you would do. His family wants to throw me a baby shower. Yet they haven’t invited any of my family and friends and none of my fiancé’s friends. My fiancé and his niece haven’t spoke since May since I got into an argument with her and supposedly this baby shower is her idea. Would you go to a baby shower that no one you know or friends and family won’t be apart of? Would you just not show up? My fiancé has already voiced his concerns and they were ignored. I’m thinking about not even going.
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.

@soon-2b-mother-of-3 I already have a second shower for my boyfriend's family/friends so another one isn't really feasible but it's not like I even know most of her friends or like they'd get us anything from the registry so I don't see why I should do one for them anyway you know what I mean?

Seems like a lot of pressure for just one event that doesn’t last longer than a couple hours.
I agree, this is your day not hers but I’m sure she’s just excited to share it with everyone she knows. Obviously.
Again, it’s about you so don’t be afraid to say that. It really is.
If you’re mom really doesn’t want to just enjoy the fact that she doesn’t have to put in the work to host a baby shower for you then don’t be afraid to tell her, that she’s more than welcome to host her own for you but the decision has been made already for this event.
It’s up to you who you want there. Not her.

@kmsespy thank you that makes me feel a little better. Like this is supposed to be a fun low key event, and she's still been an active part of the planning process because my friend has kept her in the loop the whole time. Just don't need the extra drama
Kate ·
@liebleind96, agreed. Maybe your friend can help by keeping her in the loop but helping remind her gently that this is about you and the baby.
I kept my shower to only the people I wanted most to be involved in my daughters life.
It just didn’t feel right inviting people I didn’t want there after the birth.

Tell her to throw a shower then lol, my mom had a shower for me with my first with all her friends.

Older people and parent’s friends ALWAYS bring gifts. So more gifts is what I think. Or money.

@itsdestyn the problem is I have a cap on how many people I can invite and I had more people on my list I wanted and she's insisting on filling it with her friends instead who I don't know

Would she be willing to host a shower herself? Then she can invite her friends. I know you said it isn’t feasible but if she’s willing to do it, take her up on it. You’ll make her happy and have the opportunity to get to know the people that are important to her.
