Tacky baby shower FB status

sunnybrook.

My cousin's wife completely annoys me. All she does on FB is complain and her whole life is "woe is me" "feel sorry for me." Anyway, here's yesterday's FB status regarding the baby shower she and her mom are throwing for her:

"to my baby shower invites dont forget to bring a package of newborn or size 1 diapers to the shower.. you can win an awesome gift bag!!! there will be like 3 or more winners for the raffle so bring your diapers!!! preferibly not used lol hope to see you all this sunday."

There are just so many things wrong with it. I'm so tempted to post something snarky! I haven't been invited to a family event since I moved out of state. If she only knew I would send a gift if I'd been invited.

That's just childish, and *highly* annoying.

A. The "don't forget to bring" irks me.

B. Who the heck goes to a baby shower to win an "awesome gift bag"? What are we, at an awards show? She obviously doesn't have to worry about finances if she is giving things away, instead of just receiving.

C. What if someone doesn't bring diapers? Will they not be allowed entrance?

D. She says it twice in her status.

E. No capitilization, and the 'lol'. Bleh!

 

I have a friend just like this concerning her Facebook statuses!

Eww that is a tacky status.

I love how she instructed everyone to bring only newborn or size 1. She is going to end up with a bunch of diapers that need exchanged for bigger sizes.

TACKY! I have a friend (one who I actually do like) who was having a "sprinkle" for her second girl. Her first child already has everything and the family is pretty well off so I looked to see what she registered for and one of the things was those test strips to test and see the alcohol content in your breastmilk. Who does this sort of stuff???

That's just the thing. They have no money. They were already struggling financially and then she lost her job this week!

She posted again reminding everyone to bring diapers. She also posted saying how excited she was to get all of the "goodies" today from her guests. I hope she gets a good turnout and that she's not disappointed. I think her expectations may be a little too high.

I want to ask her if those not invited should get size 2 diapers

OMG.....crazy!  Just be happy you live out of state and won't be there.  I have to attend a shower this week at work for a co-worker that I thought was pretty tacky....she has an 18 month old boy and is pregnant again with a boy.....she saved everything from Baby #1 so I know she doesn't need anything AND she registered!  People are tacky!!!
