It's funny how folks can get so offended, foaming at the mouth over a shower they're not even invited to, for someone they don't even know. She isn't asking you to buy her anything, much less attend. Geez! The way some of these women are reacting, you'd think the world will stop spinning on it's axis because OP decided to have a shower for, God forbid, her fourth child! She's just commited a cardinal sin and we're all going to burn in hell for it! 

 Honestly, some people need to either grow up or go hug a transformer.

It's funny how people get so up in arms about these showers we comment on.  The solution? THEY DON'T NEED TO POST ON A PUBLIC FORUM.  Problem solved.  They ask, we answer. Simple as that. 

The problem is that the OP asked if it was okay to add a keepsake to her registry.

She didn't ask for your opinions on having a baby shower for her 4th child, or whether it was okay for her DH's family t throw her a shower, or if her shower plans were tacky. Yet you all felt compelled to comment.

If you truly feel this way, why did everyone jump on the OP for having another shower? Why didn't you just answer her question and leave the shower aspect alone?

OK, so how would a post like this go?

"I'm going to stop smoking once the baby gets here, but I just haven't been able to kick the habit. Anyway, this is my fourth baby...what's the etiquette on registering?"

I hope no one says anything about her smoking, because what she ASKED was if it's ok to register for a fourth child.

 

You may say it's not the same, but it is.  She didn't ask but she posted information that got a reaction from people.

I don't care that people trolled off the original question to give opinions on having a shower, and I did NOT post to ask if it was ok. I don't care if strangers on the internet thinks its ok, really. I'm old enough to be past giving a *** about what people I don't know think...I asked about keepsakes because I've never had a shower, have only been to one, and was really not sure if it's common. A bit of good news, MIL is having so much fun planning this, and has been calling DH every other day with news. I'm happy for her.

Why the *** can't we just let this thread die? It has been beaten enough on two boards now.
