My MIL is stressing me out with wanting to throw a baby shower. I don't want one. First of she wanted to do only women. I do not get along with just women in a room. Omg. I mean unless we have some commonalities. But most of the ones she wants to invite is her family and friends I do not care for. My family lives in NY and they are planning to come for the birth. It costs to much to fly back and forth. She wants to hold the shower on August 10th and I'll be 37-38 weeks then. I could possibly have the baby then. But she suggested at her house bc most of her family live within a two hour range from there and within a three to four hour range from our place. I don't want to be traveling far from my birth center at that time. My MIL called me "funny" for that excuse. Ugh I don't want this damn baby shower and discussed it with my husband. He says that we should just have a "cutesee" when the baby is born but I don't want ppl touching my child. Again, I'll just look like I'm "funny" or be called a "bitch". Rant over.
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
What would you do? - baby shower
SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever...
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
