No Babyshower for me

Momtobe352 · February 2015

My pregnancy been overwhelmed. I did not see any friends or familys supporting me with my rough pregnancy. Why should I throw a babyshower! I rather spend my money gettin things for my baby. Now, everyone keep asking me when im going to do my Babyshower. What should i say ?

Well.... You shouldn't throw a baby shower at all. Someone else is supposed to throw it for you. Maybe no one realizes that someone hasn't started planning one????

Say, "I can't throw my own shower, because it's tacky."

You should not throw your own baby shower. If someone offers to throw one for you, great! If not, use those bucks to buy stuff for the baby and people who want to get you gifts will do so. I don't know how to tactfully word it, but anybody who is asking about it, just make plans to spend some time with them before or after the baby is born so you get to see them during this crazy and exciting time.

This hurt my brain a little bit, but if I'm understanding you I would say to tell those people "if you want to see a baby shower then throw me one".

I'd say "Oh, I don't think anyone is throwing one for me" maybe someone will.

Dont throw your own, that is something loved ones are supposed to do for you. Spend the money on stuff for the baby and if anyone wants to buy something for you, they can without the shower.

I agree with u @tigerlily25‌

So then what exactly are you asking?

nomesy · February 2015

I would have a hissy fit , throw a tantrum and say " I thought you were planning it ???!!!??" To every single person who asks , then have a whole baby shower week !

Or month

I wouldn't throw one for myself either! Looks like you might want some new friends! ! I don't really want to begin with. I think it's bad luck! I want a baby naming instead! Throw a.party for closet friends AFTER the baby is born! So they meet and greet the baby!

I would say something like: "I haven't heard anything about a baby shower. I don't think anyone is planning to throw one. And that's okay, I don't feel like it's necessary for me. I'm happy to celebrate with everyone after the baby comes."

And if someone is pressing you for why YOU aren't throwing one: "Actually, the mother of the baby doesn't usually throw her own shower. That would be way too much for me anyway. I've got so much going on."

Same here... It sucks to feel like no one else cares and doesn't offer but they do say that in hard times is when you realize who your real friends are. So yeah keep buying it's our responsibility as the parents to provide for our kids anyway

but I get it, it would be nice for other people to be excited too.

I feel like the underlying angst you have is that you're NOT having a baby shower If you want one, why don't you assign someone (friend, coworker, etc) cuz by now if there's nothing in the works. I really don't see it happening without your little nudge nudge

Im not having one myself either and I feel great !! Don't feel bad and enjoy being pregnant and everytime you feel ur baby kicking that's the answer you need "we don't need nobody else mommy"

armoni25 · February 2015

There's nothing wrong with throwing your own baby shower it's about celebrating the arrival of your child not pleasing anyone else! An there right probably noone notice.. for a while being that I didn't have family an friends showing me attention or support so I refused to have a baby shower an this whole time my mom was planning one for me but I was so caught up in anger I didn't see it an my friends are the wild party types so they never bothered me cuz they felt like this she be some great bounding time with family an spouse an they know having a baby can be very tiring so all you have to do is just ask a question hun but don't let that stop you from celebrating the life you created inside you... it doesn't have to be big buy a lil cake from the market or store invite some people that are left in your life an go shopping for the baby together instead of alone or get your nails an hair done an go out to eat an see a movies cuz trust when that lil one gets here your not going to really have time for that......think about it...
