Baby shower

Glincul · August 2013

Hello everyone! I am pregnant with my second child a boy!! My first child is a girl and is now 3. My question is, is it proper per say to have a small shower/ sprinkle for things that I need. Unfortunately we didn't save everything and gave some
Things to other expectant mothers I knew.

Somebody commented this morning that it was crazy fest in here and I said that all we needed was someone to ask if it was ok to throw their own shower.
Day made.

Good call @sehart3478

Did someone offer to throw you a shower?

If not, then a hundred times no. If so, more details, please.

RanFan28 · August 2013

If you are throwing it for yourself, no.

If you are just wondering if it's okay to have a second shower that someone else offered to give for you, I say go for it. Others will say absolutely not and, what I've inferred from our 13,000 conversations about this already, is that it's sort of a geographical/culture of the area thing. Do what you want to do/what you feel is right because the opinions on here are mixed...and, like I said, have been shared about 13,001 times now.

I would say no its not proper to have a shower just because you don't have everything you need.

This you are responsible to provide for your child, no one else is

Bahaha, we're like psychics over here! Good call. I'll check that off my list and wait for another FB debate next!

Seriously cannot believe this actually happened. OH WAIT.

*checks to see if there's a full moon tonight*

Not that I don't agree that it's tacky but then why is it ok to have a shower (of any kind) at all?

cantsitwithus · August 2013

What happened to OP?

ScarlettV · August 2013

Op if someone had it for you, fine; but don't ask. Basically what everyone else said.

That aside, it still blows my mind when people ask if they can have a shower so they can 'get stuff'.

2010weddinggal · August 2013

it was a drive by, but just in case so going to the baby shower board to see if she posted there

2010weddinggal · August 2013

Nope it was a drive by

2010weddinggal · August 2013

Cause we thought we were mean, man those woman over there

I was hoping for some dramz on the baby shower board!

they love posts like this over there. It's one of my favorite boards to read.

2010weddinggal · August 2013

BUT if someone offers to throw you a second shower, if it is exceptable in you social circle that is ok. But usually one does not throw their own or even ask for one....

Glincul · August 2013

I was asking because my grandmother had mentioned wanting to throw me one and I was hesitant as I didn't think it was proper. Apparently most of the women on this app aren't so proper themselves though. I am pretty upset with most of the ignorant comments I just received especially considering this is my first time
Using this app. I will be going back to the app I used with my first child the women there were much easier to talk to.

Ok...who is this?

I was trying think of who would create this AE and then memories of Romper Room came to mind.

I always wanted her to call my name so bad.

n8swife · August 2013

Yes, it's totally acceptable to have other people buy you new baby stuff because you didn't keep anything from the first time around.

Glincul · August 2013

Yes my Grandmom wanted to throw one for us I would never even consider throwing my own shower

notkateanymore · August 2013

If your friends offer to throw you a shower, I have no issue with it. That being said, it's not anybody else's fault that you didn't save anything. It's on you to provide for your child. At a second shower, I would expect to get clothes or other small gifts. Nothing of great use, so go ahead and start buying.

Glincul · August 2013

No there wasn't and yes there were plenty of post on here that were completely unnecessary

Like I said it is no ones responsibilty to provide for your child, your first post here no one knows who you are and you want to call us improper...... BTW we have a baby shower board, maybe they could answer your question better.

This. I would think of it more as celebrating a new baby rather than preparing the mother with the things she needs. It would also be tacky to register for a second baby IMO. Big stuff is on you mom...whomp whomp.

Who I need posted notes to keep up with all these weirdos

Seriously, most of the people were agreeing with you that it was okay to have a shower if someone offered, but that wasn't clear from your OP. I would also recommend keeping it intimate and not registering as to not encroach upon your host's generosity; this will minimize the amount of gifts you will receive and make you look less tacky if you're concerned about that.

However, I think what most people had a problem with is that you blatantly just want to accept this shower because you got rid of most of your stuff and you need people to replenish your supply. It's very clear from your attitude towards the shower in the OP. So, people treated you skeptically because you came across as tacky and greedy. You should be more clear in your OP what the situation is/what your intentions are if you want better results. Until then, peace!
