Someone should tell her...

How tacky it is to be asking your friends for money on your own baby pool. I have a friend who, for the past week has been posting on Facebook asking people to join in their baby pool and send them money for their guesses. She's made a big calendar and everything. I am all for baby pools, my work did one for me and it was so nice. But something just seems so weird about doing one for yourself. I feel like I should be on the baby showers board with this. I've never been one to think behavior, but seeing her ask for money for this daily is getting on my nerves.

    Bahaha... Now that would be SERIOUSLY tacky.
    To clarify, a baby pool where you guess sex and date they will be born.

    I thought it would be interesting for someone else to do one for us, however I wouldn't have collected $ if was doing it myself. Agree that it is tacky to do yourself.

    Yeah, it is tacky to organize this for yourself. Kind of along the same lines as throwing yourself a shower.

    Speaking of tacky, the other day I got a Facebook invite for a baby shower where they requested guests bring a gift, money for big ticket items, and diapers for a diaper raffle. The excuse for the tackiness? They are a young, financially unstable couple with an accidental pregnancy. I might (probably not) be more sympathetic if I didn't know that they are planning to only use brand new items. No hand-me-downs or thrift store finds for their princess... /:)

    Why use store brands and hand-me-downs when you can host a fundraiser and get people to buy you all new stuff? 

    Geez.  The entitlement of some people...
