NYC Baby Shower Venues?

Elyse1384 · October 2015

I love that all the drive by, non-contributors love to throw around the term "negative" to describe a community that has been together and supporting one another for over 30 weeks about actual issues, fears and medical conditions related to pregnancy (and no OP... A self thrown shower because you're bored does not qualify as an issue requiring "support").

OP you perceive our responses to be negative because they are not what YOU want to hear. You could have run a query as this topic has been discussed at length multiple times. You could have taken some initiative (since you're so bored) and ran a Google query on venues in your area. You could have taken our suggestion (yes, SUGGESTED) to check more relevant boards. Everyone was very patient with you given how frequently this topic has come up.

Amazingly, you keep stating you're no longer interested in pursuing the topic here given such "negative response", yet you keep coming back to piss off the community. What are you expecting to get out of this? Seems quite childish for someone about to become a mother. Move on.

@Elyse1384 I have no clue what question you are talking about

What on earth are you talking about? Are you even responding to the correct person?

Still wondering why if everyone is wanting you to have a shower why no one is throwing you one.

Has that question already been answered? I can't actually read what the OP is trying to say half the time.

Edit bc I'll be damned if anyone ever just told me to drop a gift off.

@Elyse1384 it's okay for you all to state you opinions but when I state mine I have a malicious intent?

She's probably responding to me. But that doesn't explain how she can't find my question, since not only is it posted on this thread, but I also quoted it for convenience. Maybe it's because, as she noted, she's only partially reading every post.

But yet she still expects us to fully digest and diligently respond to her questions, with the caveat that they meet her standards of being supportive. This thread sure is turning MUD-dy.

@Elyse1384 I was being hassled to throw one and I've decided I'll just tell everyone that I'm not. When I told my unit I was pregnant they told me not to buy anything aside from the crib. Because they want to show support. That's what military families do. Was I supposed to tell them to throw me a shower also? I'm not exactly a female one would expect to get pregnant. So I have many people wanting to support my decision. But no one to throw it for me. I do understand its not a necessaity

Perhaps things are a little different where I'm from my friends and my family are the ones asking me to through it Duhhhhhh!!!!! And the last time I stated I wasn't having one I was given money by my civilian co workers. I would prefer things for the baby and not cash. And I really feel bad for you guys I will most definitely pray for you all and that's from the bottom of my heart because this is sad. As to why I'm posting in a post I made, I'll leave that unanswered. No need to reply with many words I'm not reading them thoroughly. But I'm glad I can give you guys someone to your issues out on. If the person was to inform me you feels its in bad taste that could have been conveyed in one response and with classier tone. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy everyone.

Why are you tagging me in every response to what I assume are other members? This sounds like a response to @dmiller1213

Oh well in that case...

From my end it seems like you were asking the questions

eamarat · October 2015

Also, @Elyse1384

because I am bored as well.

What? It shows the user name next to the post. You don't have to guess.

Eta: @elyse1384 hey girl.

@modanz1 I'm aware of that I have replied to your post also. But like I stated it appears that she was the one who posted it hence me replying to her.

MiMary80 · October 2015

Wait, I thought we were talking caramel apples... (Disappointed) :-?

AbbeyRoad87 · October 2015

I don't understand if everyone thinks I'm here playing a game why not go one another post and help someone that you like, care about, or can help? Instead of wasting time here

I can't tell who you are replying to honestly. If you hit "quote" rather than reply, it will be more obvious who you are speaking to.

Just began maternity leave bored out of my mind and decided to have a baby shower. I'll be doing everything on my own because "if you want something done you've gotta do it yourself". Pretty stumped already. Anyone in the area has ideas?

Quoted before the DD.

@Ceridwen77 was just going to do that but you beat me to it! Should everything else be QFP'd or is it just the first post that truly matters?
