I don't normally respond to these posts or blogs but you all sound like a bunch of ungrateful, hateful women! I am sorry you cannot show any type if sympathy or at least a kind word before you go in on how selfish you think she is, as she has come here simply to vent and get some feedback. Not ONE of you as far as I have read (frankly can't stomach to look anymore) have been kind or supportive! SMH! Octobermommy101012 good luck to you and don't sweat these women...they are the ones who sound jealous and hateful! I know we are all dealing with prego hormones but come on! You all sound like a bunch of haters to me....
Oh for F's sakes are you serious? WKing as your first post?
Just gotta call out the stupid on this one.
I'll save you the other bull since you already made the hormone accusations, we are not supportive, you hope our children are better individuals then us, you feel bad for our husband and we have no life.
WHERE IN THE HELL DO THEY KEEP COMING FROM!!!
This has to be 1 or 2 ppl that stir the pot with love tits around the bump on controversial posts and is posting for the fun or the drama.
OP, you are new here so I'll let you in a not-so-secret secret: D14 doesn't advocate baby showers or sprinkles after the first child. So you aren't going to get anybody telling you that she is obligated to give you a present because she appears better off than you. Or because you are attending her shower.
To answer your question, her comment was out of line. She can think it but never should have said it to your face. If she doesn't approve of a shower for a 3rd baby, she should have declined the invitation and left it at that.
If you leave off the back story of how "perfect" her life is (trips and gifts from her parents), you wouldn't come off as being jealous. Those details are irrelevant unless you are jealous of her "perfect" life and you feel entitled to a little slice of it. Be proud of the life you are providing for your children on your own. And be grateful for the gifts you do receive from the people who really do care about you.
That's pretty much be the stance on TB in general and I've been here a while. Had she posted in the actual baby shower community she may have been attacked with a pick fork.

Stop. You don't "normally respond" to anything because this is a fake account meant just for trolling. No one jumps to page 11 of a thread to make their first ever comment (yes, we can easily see your history.) Stop it, Octobermommy101012 or whoever you are, it's old and getting pretty pathetic.

It's probably just OP creating accounts to WK for herself.
I just have to add in regards to "shower etiquette", in my 34 years of life both on the east coast and west coast, I've never heard of limited showers due to how many babies you already have. I've recently been made aware of it here on TB. Maybe it's a Hispanic thing to celebrate all babies. Idk.
Again just my experience, people go on and do what they want. As long as it doesn't cause any direct burden on you, I tend to not overthink stuff like that.
I feel the same way. To me a shower isnt bout receiving anything for a new baby its bout CELEBRATING this new baby. I have one girl but she doesn't water down the meaning of my second. This whole snark bout multiple showers is like saying "Oh DD you had a birthday last year so we're not doing it again." Being mainly Italian I've grown up to believe you don't need gifts to celebrate or show importance. Just some food and family/friends. Whoever you wanna share this important event with. I didn't get a shower with my first daughter and I MIGHT be receiving one with this one. I don't expect any sorta gifts but to have a cook out and spend time with people that'll love my children like I do would be nice.
Since this has come back to life, is it too late to say that I think I finally figured out "peachy clean"?? Because it dawned on me at dinner that she may have meant "peachy keen." I felt like a genius, and then like I had just wasted all that brain power on this nonsense...
