3rd Trimester

Baby Shower Vent

So leave it to DH and I to get rear-ended on the way to the baby shower. Everyone was fine, but it was just kind of amusing. And then we get there (it was coed) and DH's cousin decided to announce at MY baby shower that she's PREGNANT!! I mean really??? Way to steal the attention. It made me so mad. Just a little vent to start off the day.

  • What a bummer. First the car accident, which is always awful, then another pregnancy announcement! I wouldn't have liked that either.

  • How rude of DH's cousin!!! I hope the shower was fun other than that, and you got lots of good gifts!
  • wow, kind of a gutsy thing to do
  • wow...I am usually one to say "get over it" when someone is upset about someone else announcing their pregnancy...but in this case...that is RIDICULOUS! Just...so rude of her!

    And sorry about your accident! That sucks too! 

    Hope your shower was fun though!

  • Sorry about the accident - I've been in 2 since getting my BFP. One due to winter white-outs, and one was a kid who backed into me in the parking lot. Both sucked.

    Your DH's cousin has zero manners. Some people just need to be constant AWs.

  • I'd be kinda pissed. I probably would have said something after the shower.  But then again I tend to speak before I think sometimes.

      It's like something that happened to a co irker of mine. It was at her bridal shower. ... Her future MIL took around the other son's GF and introduced her as her future DIL and announced the son's and GF's engagement.

  • Glad you are ok after getting rear ended. ?And wow, that is rude for someone to announce their pregnancy at your shower! ?Couldn't she at least wait a couple hours!

  • How did everyone react to her announcement b/c i would think that the other guests would have also thought that was horribly rude also!
  • Sorry to hear about your car accident!  Um, DH's cousin is rude for doing that.  What, she couldn't allow you to have your time? 
  • 2 sucky situations for sure! The father of my sister's son was in a car accident on his way to the hospital and missed the birth.
  • The car accident was bad enough, did you really need her to steal your spotlight? I would seriously be planning revenge... for her baby shower, dress your little boy in the cutest most adorable outfit you could find so that her guest will go ga-ga over him and he gets all the attention and not HER! -- She'll know how it feels....

  • Just had to say that my stupid cousin announced her engagement by going around flashing a giant obviously fake ring at my wedding reception. Now I can laugh at her though because my wedding was March 2006 and they never got married... he's still waiting for the time to be right or something.

    This post got me all riled up again, although I must admit it doesn't take much to rile me up these days.

    Glad you & DH weren't hurt. Smile
