@Meery82 OH I am totally aware!  It's called choice words.  Plus the thesaurus is my best friend, that's where I got uninformed from  :-*

Fabulous! Thanks for letting us know which words are allowed and which aren't.

Ha! I don't believe you. Since uninformed and ignorant mean the exact same thing it doesn't matter which one is used.

@ChantalleLG : You really needed the explanation because you really don't get it. No matter how much you foot stomp that you do. The more the type the more you prove that you DON'T get it. LOL at how you don't want explanations but you keep going on with them. We get it. You want us to only say nice things to the OP and others who choose to be tacky/bratty and throw their own shower. Sorry, its not working out the way you want. Again, its good to learn how to handle not getting your way all the time. You seem to like throwing tantrums. I'd look to doing something else if I were you. Ignorance is not an excuse. Sorry. You keep wanting me (and others) to give OP (and others) the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't work that way. We only know what they post. If what they post sounds selfish and bratty then that's all we can respond to. You are getting yourself worked up and all we are doing is making basic points.

I wonder how old those of you are who feel that it is truly ok to throw your own shower. Are you part of the "me" generation that feel you are entitled to whatever your heart desires? Maybe our arguments are devided more so by generation. Or not... Just a thought

Shezatuffy

That's what I was wondering if we are more divided by age in our opinions. But if you know people who are younger that also disagree then obviously that's not the dividing line.

I am on the young side and I am big supporter of etiquette.

@PrimRoseMama sorry miss know it all, but I would NEVER throw myself a shower, party, or even gathering to celebrate myself or to receive gifts.  To be honest with you, I don't even feel comfortable when people give me gifts.  I am well aware of etiquette for parties, life, eating at the table, and speaking to others.  I've attended etiquette classes growing up, as well as Cotillion.  I don't think throwing yourself a shower is socially correct and I don't think it's right, however, I am also easy going, so I don't give a shit if someone does so.  I love to buy gifts for friends and family even if it's for no reason, that's the way my grandmother was and it's the way I've grown to be.  

If you think I was throwing a tantrum, then so be it.  Since you think I am childish, then I guess it's safe for me to say you're bitter and have no life.  Out of the 16,000 replies you have done over the course on the bump.com (yes I viewed your profile), it's hard for me to believe anything out of your mouth is positive and not crude.  Also when you assume, you make an ass out of u not me. 

How's that for a tantrum. 

(And the last word will come in 1..2..3...4...5....)

I just don't get why some people feel the need to have a shower so much, that they throw their own. This will be my third pregnancy and I've never had a baby shower. My family lives 900 miles away as well as my friends. But, we do get help with things the baby needs from family and friends. DH and I also save up and buy what the baby may need. I don't have anything from when DS was a baby because DS is from a previous relationship and I was unable to keep anything from when he was a baby. So, it does make things slightly harder because we're having to start from scratch, but I still don't see the need to have a shower. To me, having the baby is celebration enough.

If someone wants to throw you a shower, that's awesome. But, if no one offers to throw you one, is it really that important that you feel the need to throw yourself one? Especially if you're on a tight budget, use that little extra money you have saved to get the baby what it needs. Getting the baby what it needs is more important than whether you have a shower or not. It might be hard for me to relate because it's hard for me to even except gifts.

If I come off rude, that was not my intention. It's just my opinion.

@chantalleLG :

LMAO, yes you clearly have me all figured out. Why don't you ask July 13 & August 13 BMB about how nasty, cruel & unsupportive I am? It's cool, I'll wait. I promise you'll find I'm quite the opposite. I simply don't tolerate immature twattish bullshit.

I know, I know-- everyone has hobbies & behaving in a less-than-adult-fashion seems to be yours. It's alright. Some have to learn the stove is hot by being burned.

See, you are again demonstrating your lack of maturity. You keep talking & it gets worse. You might want to look to that. I've supported plenty of people in devastating circumstances. I do not support boorish, tacky or bratty displays.

In the same vein, you posted just now with the aim to insult me. Your childish pokes & prods don't phase me one bit. I'm laughing over here.

Keep talking though. I think we are due for more BSC tantrums. I will just go make some popcorn.

Tell me more about how Klassy you are! Oh oh and how I'm a bully, you feel sorry for my kids, pets, second cousins & house plants. Please let your crazy shine!


Hahahaha crazy freak out in 3...2...1

Okay so since we're on the topic of baby showers...
I have a 4 year old daughter and I'm pregnant with baby #2
I have a different father with this child and his family wants to throw a baby shower for DH and I. DH told his family that It would be fine to throw us a shower. I told my MIL that I didn't mind either way.. But I was wondering is this improper baby shower etiquette??

I think this scenario is an exception to the usual "no second time baby showers". You aren't throwing it yourself & this is your husband's first child? I think it walks the gray area, but generally people don't care. I wouldn't flame you for it.

Yeah it's DH first child and his mom and his dad's first grandchild.. So there all freaking out about the baby shower! But as long as I won't get set on fire for this baby shower then I'm good

I just want to say I just came across this thread, and am kind of disappointed at the high school drama that everyone seems to dine on.... I understand that no two women are going to have the same ideals when it comes to pregnancy and child rearing, but when someone asks for help, if you don't agree I think you should do what all of our mothers told us..and that is 

"if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say nothing!" 

and while this has nothing to do with the topic, and I am not picking a 'side', I just thought it important to remind everyone we can't go slandering every person we think lives wrong- because we would be full of hate and disgust.

haha Oh I have been to the internet...

Doesn't mean your not idiotic with how you guys are handling "Your Opinions" How frivolous and one sided it is.... 

I can't wait to see what you guys write on other post...I love people who cant see past their own opinions and thoughts, so they make others feel like crap. Yup force your way of life and opinions on others cause that will change everything!! You girls are amazing...

I bet your lives are filled with hugs from people you have beaten down with your ways! Awesome ladies!!! haha...Sorry I am still laughing at how ridiculous this is...

I know what you mean. I totes feel sorry for my H and DS - I mean, how dare I insist we all have proper manners and grace- holding doors for people, saying please and thank you, tipping service providers properly - I mean really now!

FFS, these aren't our opinions. It's called proper etiquette. And like Audrey Hepburn, good manners will never go out of style.

Oh yes because the way your handling this is amazing. I mean the internet etiquette you have is just perfect. 

They are your opinions. I really don't care much about this post as I don't care what people do. The fact is people do things differently all the time, get over it.. Also, You cant speak for everyone in the world for this subject so technically it is your opinion. Even if this was a "real" rule set in stone, it turned into your opinion when you decided to completely tear the op a new one...So yeah your manners are crap...But good try! ( I also love when people say they have etiquette and manners but of course thats only when you can see their face!)

I never said I had manners.

I also never went around thumping manners on people as I called them tacky, and all the other things you women called these other women...

See I never acted like something I wasn't, that was you sweetheart.

To say these girls need to have manners and etiquette and then for you girls to go around saying what ever mean foul thing that comes out of your mouth, is rude. Therefor your manners are out the window... I mean really if you want to act rude, unkind and inconsiderate don't say its because you are defending manners, cause that really is hypocritical!

Practice what you preach ladies!!
