Some people just can't take a hint. That's right, Crazy ex-coworker.

Ok, so some of you may have been following along with the crazy ex-coworker of mine who not only was planning on throwing herself a second baby shower, (because she didn't get everything she wanted at the first, so she felt "cheated") but then began to harass other people (Including myself) into throwing one for her instead since so many people were declining. It could have been a combination of her thinking new baby=new stuff even though she has perfectly good stuff in storage and that many people feel second baby showers are tacky. Especially if you're rude enough to say you felt cheated at your first one!
Well, since then I had my LO, she came a month early. Well her brother and his wife sent me some adorable baby clothes, and crazycakes had posted something random about how some people would turn their back on family for a stranger. Her brother filled me in that he and his wife made it clear they would take no part in this gift grab event of hers. He even reminded her that she didn't bother to do anything for his wife, why should she be expected to do something for her?
Crazycakes sent me this fakely sweet note on FB about how since I had my baby I should now be free to attend her shower. Apparently her Aunt-in-law decided it just had to take place and said she would throw it for her. It's apparently going to be this Saturday. I declined again. She responds by asking (Whining why) I tell her she knows my reasons for not wanting to attend, and asked her not to message me again. She responds by sending me her address and a link to her updated registry. Yeah, she won't even be getting an e-card from me.
You would think after the email I sent her she'd catch the hint, but apparently not. She's getting her way though, she's getting her second shower, which is sure to be a overly done look at me, I'm a special snowflake affair.
I know some of you were interested in how that would turn out, so I figured I'd update you guys on what was going on with that.

Block her on FB.
Cut off all contact with her. She's your EX-coworker, you have no reason to still have any connection with her.
If it weren't for the whole "Pay attention to me, love me!" aspect of her personality I'd say you must be talking about DH's ex.
She couldn't take a hint even if you were to hit her over the head with it. Which is part of the reason why we only refer to her as "Crazy"- seriously she wold ask everyone at break if she could have coffee cause she'd have to poo afterward. And that is only one piece of her insanity.
Anyway... just ignore her. If you do it long enough she'll go away. It worked for DH's ex
I liken your stories to the attraction I had to soap operas....Can't. Change. The. Channel.
Thanks much for the entertainment--LOVE the "Crazycakes" pet name you have for her.
BIG CONGRATS on your lil kidlet! Hope all is well!
Honestly, I would send her a gift.
... an etiquitte book.
This. If it were me, I would have deleted her a long time ago so there would be no way for her to cotnact me directly.
Agreed. I would never block her...(maybe block her from seeing your stuff) I almost want to FB friend her just so I can point and laugh.
Congrats on your LO's arrival.
So sorry Crazycakes can't take a hint or an outright no from you. Maybe you should attend , but give a gift in her name to a local women's shelter or some other charity that helps pregnant women in your area. And sugest that others do the same.
Oh she really has lost her head.
Her last few FB updates have all been about how excited she is for her shower tomorrow, and how people will be talking about it for weeks afterwards. First of all, I don't care how awesome a party is, I never talk about it past the next day or so. The Halloween party I went to last year was pretty epic, and we weren't still talking about it by Thanksgiving or anything. I've certainly never been to a baby shower that I talked about after the next day to say "It was fine, the decorations/food/whatever was lovely."
Her Aunt-in-law is actually designating gifts to be bought. Like she told Crazycakes mother to buy her a new crib and her brother and SIL are to buy her a carseat, and so on. Except neither her mom nor brother or SIL plan to attend, so she's going to be disappointed at not getting the gifts she thinks she's entitled too.
It's so odd, I see posts on TB where people complain they just got a bunch of clothes and nothing they actually needed, and yet crazycakes has what she needs, but I wouldn't be surprised to see her on here at some point bitching about how no one gave her what she "needs" even though she doesn't actually need it.
