I guess you thought you could just delete it and it would go away. It doesn't always work that way.
amarissa85:I know it is WAY early to be thinking about this but the question is already in my mind about where to register. Since we are not going to find out the gender of the baby it is going to be a bit difficult to find some gender neutral things in the store, I checked target and babies r us which is where I think we will register but the problem is most of the good gender neutral stuff is online only. If I did that do you think it would have a good turnout. I mean we are both military and we don't live near family anyway but was just wondering maybe if we had some things on the list that were online only people may not get them. What do you think? I don't know how most people baby shower shop now a days.
Re: Hey, amarissa85 here's your DD
My thoughts exactly...
I was thinking the same thing.
Ditto that.
I must be pregzilla 1000. I have my registry pretty much complete (at least until I know the gender) on Amazon. Right now it's private, and I'll make it public in the later months. I can say though, it feels pretty nice having some of that stuff already planned out and taken care of. It's especially nice when MIL starts talking about wanting to get me baby things for Christmas, and I can refer to my list and find out what I could have now to get set up! Really, not a bad idea to think ahead.
You should have just left it instead of DDing though. Its more childish to flip the F out and delete than just to leave it. Yes, Bliss was somewhat harsh but she had a valid point. Its bad netiquette to delete just because you don't like the responses.
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
Seems unnecessary to repost the deleted post. Honestly, I think it's just weird that you even cared that much to do it.
This exactly. I think the OP was kinda greedy sounding. I mean who's thinking about a shower for their third kid when they're 4 weeks pregnant??? But still..
And Bliss -- why are you even on the 1st Tri board??? Semms to me like you need a hobby or job or something.

There's too many double standards happening here. "It's bad form to DD?" says who? You don't want to be "policed" by others, yet there's magically some kind of unwritten rule that is broken when you DD, and you tell others it is wrong to...isn't that "policing" others?
You say it's a public forum and anyone can post their opinions. That being said, it's a public forum, anyone can delete at any time. period. This immaturity makes me laugh. It's like my students "You did it...no you did it...no you...I'm telling"...lo,
Go enjoy your day, you can't get the minutes back you spend calling other ppl out on TB because you,re trying to prove a weak point.
I don't agree with the DD or the repost of it.
However, I've run into this logic before, so here's my take:
On the Not Engaged Yet board on TK new posters always asked why engaged ladies were there. Well, to keep you from pestering your boyfriend and making engagement chicken for every meal, my dear.
On all of TK new posters would ask why married ladies were there. Well, if they weren't ladies would be having potluck dinners and 3-tier guest lists.
So, I just assume that there are ladies here who are not i the first tri to tell us why the weeks start from our last period and that it's better to get the flu shot.
It's better to get advice from someone who has been there.

I am not going to comment on all of the BS going back and forth....Bliss just give it up and they will move on. Who cares.
My question is for the comment that it is tacky to have a shower for your second or third child? this will be my second child but there are more than 6 years in between pregnancies.Is it still tacky in that case?? Honestly want to know!! I recently donated the rest of what baby things I was holding onto from my daughter to a family whose house burnt down and then 2 months later found out I was pregnant. Not sure that would have changed me donating though. Most of that stuff was outdated. I have NOT started to plan my registry though it sounds like a fun way to pass some time!
Opinions please?
Really? How is someone being excited about being pregnant and picking out baby gear possibly flameful?!?
I don't remember this place being so nasty last time around.
i think the general rule of thought is that if there are many years inbetween and someone else offers its ok to have a shower. Check out the shower board and read some posts there but that seems to be the answer. However it looks like most women say it would probably still be somewhat toned down. But then again it also depends on your family and friends. Maybe they want to go all out for your second.

Glad someone asked about the baby shower for children who are far apart in age! lol, my daughter will almost be 10 by the time this baby is born .... I literally have NOTHING left from when she was a baby. I never knew it was tacky to have a baby shower for your second, third, and so on children .... I've been to plenty of baby showers where it was for a second or third child. I didn't think it was in poor form or tacky ... so that was a new one to me! Of course, the necessities were more focused on diapers and clothing, rather than bigger ticket items!
I fully plan on having a baby shower ... lol. My MIL already told me she was hosting it ... lmao ... and I'm barely f*cking pregnant.

Yes I was shocked to see that comment too about it being Tacky and bad Form! I was worried! I bet it is safe for us spacers here to have another shower. My friends who have just had their second and third babies and showers have expressed excitement about throwing me a shower back home so I am thrilled!
