@rachel.m.paulsen : aren't you the sweetest poster ever! It's ok, you can feel sorry for my kids. They know their mom is awesome, intelligent & polite. They don't need Internet strangers to tell them that.
You, on the other hand, might want to invest in some thicker skin. Whiney doesn't become you, dear. I would try for a different look.
@Robynew28 : I'm sorry, it's rich to be lectured on a lack of humor from someone that can't seem to function unless what they read is "nice". If you are going to criticize us about any lack sense of good humor please at least try to have one yourself.
I just want to point out that it doesn't work to stomp, throw a fit & shriek about us meanie heads when you a) name call b) try to give orders like you are our mothers then c) claim WE are the ones with the bad manners.
We are merely stating our opinions on what proper etiquette is. You are flying off the handle and freaking out. If anyone appears psychotic then it's the posters screaming," fuck you bitches! Why can't you just say nice things! You suck!" Lol.
It was the first one I opened shockingly enough. Yes, I don't care about the post, as in I don't care if someone throws their own shower or has aliens throw it for them. I do find it annoying and hard to ignore when people who throw their hypocritical BS around and just belittle people as their opinions and thoughts are nothing and slime...
Now I did see some people just say how they felt about the subject and didn't go after the OP.
Is this the internet? Yes. Are you going to get the answers you want when you post them to random strangers? No. But the ladies preaching about etiquette and manners should maybe look at what you are saying, because there is no "grace" or "etiquette" in any of your post. You sound like horribly rude people to me, especially for people who uphold such high standards for manners!

A couple of things. 1) Request an SN change. Your full name as an SN is very very unwise especially when you come in here all full of piss n' vinegar. Just saying. I wouldn't, but there are other less civilized posters that could find you on FB or other media etc. Internet safety is prudent.
2.) It is not impolite to alert someone that what they want to do is rude & lacking in taste. It's a public service. Yes, someone is going to snub another's opinion or practice that is deemed tacky. It's not suitable to throw your own shower. It's just not. End of story.
Oh @primrosemama I don't recall at all saying fuck you or any such thing. I am just only stating you cant just pick when you have manners. You choose to say throwing your own shower is a "faux Pas," fine, thats your opinion. All the other stuff is you just slandering those who believe it is not, there for yes in factualness you are yourself being rude and going past the point of expressing your opinions.
As you see I did it to you when I basically called you psychos who your poor children and husband have to live with...Did you like it? of course not..but what you said to those ladies throwing their own party was completely ok.. of course it was cause you weren't the one getting rude comments thrown at you and it was your opinion. See....If you want to say mean things go for it, but don't "whine" like you said when people throw it back on you.
Also I completely agree people have their own opinions and are free to share them wether they agree or not, but there is a point where its no longer "just an opinion" instead its just cruel words to make some one feel like crap because you can...
If this whole rant you ladies did was about manners then your post wouldn't have been so mannerless.

That is so kind of you to think about whats good for me. I feel so sad for anyone that is so sad of person to look for me on a social media site cause I didn't agree with their little opinions!
A public service! Haha you guys can't be for real? As I state above "dear" stating your opinion is the purpose of forum such as these. Though you going after women because of what you deem tacky is well OMG TACKY!!! Look at all you ticky tacky ladies.

We get it. You think the people pointing out that throwing their your own shower is rude don't have manners. We shouldn't inform the defenders of such a heinous practice that they are acting like bratty, gift-grabby people. We shouldn't do that because its bad manners?
I disagree with you. I think it's actually very polite to alert someone as to how their behavior will be perceived by family/friends. It's good manners to try to educate those that appear to be deficient in their knowledge of etiquette. Sometimes it's ignorance and we would be failing in our duties to help people if we don't share our feelings with them.
I don't really care if some Internet butthurt feels sorry for my husband or children. Since your new, that's a joke that is routinely thrown out there. The folks, like you, that want to flip shit about us meanie heads usually throw it out there along with a bunch of other insults. All the while wagging their fingers at us, like you, to "just play nice".
News flash: you aren't the first & you won't be the last. I'm sorry your precious sensibilities were offended by the way in which we communicated our disagreement. However, like throwing your own baby shower, you can't always get what you want, the way you want it & with special sauce.
This is not motherfucking Burger King. You don't get it "Your Way". Deal with it.
@rachel.m.paulsen : "As I state above "dear" stating your opinion is the purpose of forum such as these. Though you going after women because of what you deem tacky is well OMG TACKY!!! Look at all you ticky tacky ladies." /shrug have it your way. I smell what seems like a troll. It appears to be a boring, unoriginal troll at that...
You are wasting your time attempting to lecture me. You aren't going to change the way the boards operate either.
But keep on with the White Knighting. It's cute. Makes me giggle.
Yes, its so kind of you to be a horribly human being to someone. As I mentioned before there is stating your opinions and then their is being rude and your being bratty cause they didn't agree with your opinion.
The only reason I won't be the last is because people like you will be on here, I am not waving my finger at you "meanie heads" but you cant get mad because I used what you did on other people on you. See you slung out the insults first. People like me probably continue to post on your stuff because you kinda of B. So I am sure ya'll get it a lot.
Am I still yammering? yes, because I am not busy right now and i find how you defend yourself amusing. I find it entertaining that you guys are literally basing your argument off of etiquette and manners, when every post is filled with neither.
Its not "Good Manners" to be cruel to people online because they don't agree with you, that is what you have wrong. Also do not reply to this practice as "heinous" there are worse things in this world then someone throwing their own shower.
You keep up that "etiquette" and "grace" you talked so much about...maybe some day you'll actually have real manners that you do always, just not in public...
LOL i love the its ridiculous to throw your own shower post. B%#*$ please, some people feel like throwin their own shower why is that so bad? You say its tacky and blah blah blah like you have some class but your ugly personality shows just how classless you are. I for one had a planned shower by me and someone surprised me with one, and fyi i loved my shower better WHY because every detail was picked by me and i did it all and was happy to do it all, and i was greatful for the surprise one but it was boring and it was not what i wanted. You want to expect your friends to throw you a shower, idk how anyone can throw a snob like you a shower it seems like you probably dont have any friends and if you do, theyre probably all fake and talk crap behind your back. Lol nice life mama. I feel sooo sorry for you. And then she said act like an adult..? Being a judgemental snob acting like the high school tramp is talking. JESUS CHRIST lol
Every time I read threads like this I'm just singing in my head "why can't we be friends why can't we be friends why can't we be
friendddsss"
On a side note me and my boyfriend are throwing a little party for ourselves. I guess you can call it a "shower". There will be games and food, but no gift will be expected. And I know everyone's like blah blah blah unless you say don't bring gift people will. Well our friends know us well enough to know that we don't expect them to bring anything and if they do that's because they want to. We aren't being "greedy" and we aren't throwing it so everyone will buy us stuff because we don't want to buy our baby stuff! We just want to celebrate with our friends (and I just want an excuse for a BBQ with delicious food). And as for "proper etiquette" who fucking cares!! Not one single person we have invited was like "OMG you're throwing a baby shower for yourself that's so tacky!" And if they thinks it's tacky they don't have to come. If you don't have advice or anything nice to say you should just scroll on to the next post. It's not that hard to ignore things you find annoying or tacky.
Who fucking cares about proper etiquette? You're right, who cares about being polite and considerate. Those qualities are overrated, right? If you haven't noticed, people on this forum give honest, helpful answers. Personally, I prefer honesty over phony, blow-smoke-up-ass answers. But I guess maybe honesty is overrated, too, huh?
We'll since you don't want people to be phony or blow smoke up your ass, and you think it's totally ok to call people names and put them down, I'll tell you what I think. You're a rude cunt bitch, who's ignorant and close minded. There are BILLIONS of people in the world, not everyone is going to think like you do. If you don't think she should have a shower great, say that and move on. There's is no fucking reason this post should have 200+ replies of ridiculousness. To all you women out there trying to play the "Etiquette & Manners" card you might want to get off your soap box. The last time I checked it wasn't classy to bash and berate someone over something you find to be distasteful. I'm sure by now she knows you don't agree. Quit replying, you all look like psychotic assholes.
LOL, who is this goofy bitch?? Some shitty AE, I assume. I don't remember bashing anyone or calling them names for wanting to throw their own shower. Blah, blah, you'll be banned soon. It's cool. LOL at psychotic assholes. Oh, the irony! Buh bye, douche!! )
Whoa, I've missed a lot tonight! All the crazies are coming out! Yikes! Oh, and FFS, it's judgmental, not judgemental! There is no fucking E! Thanks for letting me clear that up once and for all.
ETA: oh, and let's not forget the flag happy idiot, @momtocheeks! You're all sort of fun! Too bad you won't be around much longer!

Aren't you just a peach? Judging by the bolded part, I'd say the red part probably applies to you.

LOL, my thoughts exactly? Classless, snob... Pot, kettle?
We always love when people delete their posts. Don't worry, I saw it, but didn't get a chance to quote it. Basically the gist (for posterity) is that she couldn't see how people get banned for some comments, and high fives for others. LOL.
Oh sweetie I'll repost it..I was just gonna be all done with this post...but then ya brought me back up So I am posting again...
My whole comment (for posterity) I said its interesting how some one can get banned for flagging you over the top comments were you are tearing people apart but no one gets in trouble for posting them.
We actually aren't the same person, you can see I've been a member since 2010. I can't speak for mamimoni but me and Rachel come from the bump app pregbuzz. The app is shutting down and we were instructed to now start using these forums as an alternative. Many,many of us have come on here in the past few days to lurk the boards and get a feel for it. Some of us have even made posts, but the overall consensus has been that no one wants to use these boards. Mainly due to posts like these.
You are all upset because I basically said you were all preaching about how you all live off manners and etiquette but your post are rude, insincere and none of it seems "proper"
You disagree with throwing your own party, we got it. Guess what your not the judges of society. People do things differently all the time, its no big deal. The problem I saw with this is how you commented on it, especially since you think what you said is ok..Also that people standing up to what you say is shocking to you...
@rachel.m.paulsen: No, troll because you are repetitive, have some sort of personal vendetta & are way too worked up about this. It's just the Internet. Calm the fuck down.
Woah there sparky! Lol I don't think disagreeing with someone makes me a horrible person. Neither does giving my opinion that to do so (throw your own shower) makes the person seem bratty. For all the shit you talk about "just be nice" you sure have a really hard time being civil. May I suggest the help of a professional? Anger management? They make pills for that you know...
Also, my manners are quite well & plenty consistent. Thank you for proving that you are nuts. I'm just stating my opinion & defending it. You've just thrown a tantrum & name called. The more you talk the more angry, insane & immature you sound. Good job! You don't make a rational point. You just sound like a petulant child. Again, good job!
@coconutcutie14 : yikes, some escaped their Hannibal Lecter cage again didn't they? You said, "The last time I checked it wasn't classy to bash and berate someone over something you find to be distasteful." Yet, omg, here you are. You are acting like a hypocrite by bashing us and calling us "cunt bitches" . Klassy. You sure showed us!
Not really. You just look like you escaped an asylum for the criminally insane.
Maybe you & Rachel can party to hate on The Baby Showers Board Regs. I'll fed-ex you some Halidol to bring you down to reality.
@mamimoni3737 : yeah, your personality isn't looking so pretty either, sweets. Also, punctuation, grammar-- please learn some. Your post was painful to read. At least pretend like you even made it passed middle school. Judging by the way you write I'm surprised you know what a high school tramp looks like. You sound like you didn't spend much time in class to know. Just sayin'.

Well actually, I never claimed to be classy, have manners, or have etiquette. I haven't claimed to be something and then showed to be something else, therefor I AM NOT a hypocrite. Yet you HAVE claimed to have all those qualities and exhibited an opposite behavior, which makes YOU a hypocrite.

I didn't say prim that you disagreeing made you horrible as its clearly stated in all my comments. I said disagreement is fine and sharing opinions are great. Its when you berate people and are rude is when it goes to far. I comment on this cause its the first one I saw and it was something I had to comment on. I have kept my comment repetitive because I am just stating why I disagreed with how you posted. Take your own advice and calm down because your comments towards me have been worse than what I have said.
Also Like I stated before I never threw the manner book around you guys did. I said its pretty hypocritical of you to tell someone their tacky and have no "etiquette" when you are in fact using no etiquette in your post.
Also I haven't posted before because I was using another form, I will not post again because when I look at prego sites I want something less aggressive...

Ok, it's sleepy time. I'm off to bed!
Thank you deeply for your opinion on what you believe is right for me. I will most assuredly take it into account when making my decisions.
I cannot sleep. Ugh, I have said it earlier in this thread and I will say it again. Throwing your own shower will get you the side eyed. Basically, it is considered tacky and selfish. Just don't do it.
Re: It's unfortunate...
You, on the other hand, might want to invest in some thicker skin. Whiney doesn't become you, dear. I would try for a different look.
@Robynew28 : I'm sorry, it's rich to be lectured on a lack of humor from someone that can't seem to function unless what they read is "nice". If you are going to criticize us about any lack sense of good humor please at least try to have one yourself.
I just want to point out that it doesn't work to stomp, throw a fit & shriek about us meanie heads when you a) name call b) try to give orders like you are our mothers then c) claim WE are the ones with the bad manners.

1) Request an SN change. Your full name as an SN is very very unwise especially when you come in here all full of piss n' vinegar. Just saying. I wouldn't, but there are other less civilized posters that could find you on FB or other media etc. Internet safety is prudent.
2.) It is not impolite to alert someone that what they want to do is rude & lacking in taste. It's a public service. Yes, someone is going to snub another's opinion or practice that is deemed tacky. It's not suitable to throw your own shower. It's just not. End of story.
3.) Bless your heart.

We get it. You think the people pointing out that throwing their your own shower is rude don't have manners. We shouldn't inform the defenders of such a heinous practice that they are acting like bratty, gift-grabby people. We shouldn't do that because its bad manners?
I disagree with you. I think it's actually very polite to alert someone as to how their behavior will be perceived by family/friends. It's good manners to try to educate those that appear to be deficient in their knowledge of etiquette. Sometimes it's ignorance and we would be failing in our duties to help people if we don't share our feelings with them.
I don't really care if some Internet butthurt feels sorry for my husband or children. Since your new, that's a joke that is routinely thrown out there. The folks, like you, that want to flip shit about us meanie heads usually throw it out there along with a bunch of other insults. All the while wagging their fingers at us, like you, to "just play nice".
News flash: you aren't the first & you won't be the last. I'm sorry your precious sensibilities were offended by the way in which we communicated our disagreement. However, like throwing your own baby shower, you can't always get what you want, the way you want it & with special sauce.
This is not motherfucking Burger King. You don't get it "Your Way". Deal with it.

/shrug have it your way. I smell what seems like a troll. It appears to be a boring, unoriginal troll at that...
You are wasting your time attempting to lecture me. You aren't going to change the way the boards operate either.
But keep on with the White Knighting. It's cute. Makes me giggle.

LOL, who is this goofy bitch?? Some shitty AE, I assume. I don't remember bashing anyone or calling them names for wanting to throw their own shower. Blah, blah, you'll be banned soon. It's cool. LOL at psychotic assholes. Oh, the irony! Buh bye, douche!!
LOL, my thoughts exactly? Classless, snob... Pot, kettle?
We actually aren't the same person, you can see I've been a member since 2010. I can't speak for mamimoni but me and Rachel come from the bump app pregbuzz. The app is shutting down and we were instructed to now start using these forums as an alternative. Many,many of us have come on here in the past few days to lurk the boards and get a feel for it. Some of us have even made posts, but the overall consensus has been that no one wants to use these boards. Mainly due to posts like these.
Woah there sparky! Lol I don't think disagreeing with someone makes me a horrible person. Neither does giving my opinion that to do so (throw your own shower) makes the person seem bratty. For all the shit you talk about "just be nice" you sure have a really hard time being civil. May I suggest the help of a professional? Anger management? They make pills for that you know...
Also, my manners are quite well & plenty consistent. Thank you for proving that you are nuts. I'm just stating my opinion & defending it. You've just thrown a tantrum & name called. The more you talk the more angry, insane & immature you sound. Good job! You don't make a rational point. You just sound like a petulant child. Again, good job!
@coconutcutie14 : yikes, some escaped their Hannibal Lecter cage again didn't they? You said, "The last time I checked it wasn't classy to bash and berate someone over something you find to be distasteful."
Yet, omg, here you are. You are acting like a hypocrite by bashing us and calling us "cunt bitches" . Klassy.
You sure showed us!
Not really. You just look like you escaped an asylum for the criminally insane.
Maybe you & Rachel can party to hate on The Baby Showers Board Regs. I'll fed-ex you some Halidol to bring you down to reality.
@mamimoni3737 : yeah, your personality isn't looking so pretty either, sweets. Also, punctuation, grammar-- please learn some. Your post was painful to read. At least pretend like you even made it passed middle school. Judging by the way you write I'm surprised you know what a high school tramp looks like. You sound like you didn't spend much time in class to know. Just sayin'.

Well actually, I never claimed to be classy, have manners, or have etiquette. I haven't claimed to be something and then showed to be something else, therefor I AM NOT a hypocrite. Yet you HAVE claimed to have all those qualities and exhibited an opposite behavior, which makes YOU a hypocrite.
And I'm totally ok with that.
Thank you deeply for your opinion on what you believe is right for me. I will most assuredly take it into account when making my decisions.
