This may be popular or unpopular, I don't know. Baby showers are deadly boring. The food is dull, the games are stupid. Watching women open baby gifts is mind-numbingly painful. I don't think I've ever been to one that I have enjoyed.
I am sick of people complaining about Lamar whatever crayon his last name is. Too many people are upset he needs a kidney transplant and their dying relative may not get a kidney, but they some how are 100% sure he will. It doesn't work that way and also if you want to say its unfair, complain about the alcoholic diabetic getting a kidney even though they refuse to take care of tthemselves. Where you are on the transplant list depends on many different things. Unless he has a family member, he is on the waiting list the same as anyone else. Blah.
@SisterSunshine Me too! My lovely friend who is planning our shower is asking me what type of activities I want to do during the shower and I'm like... is it weird if I just want to hang out with my friends like normal and eat snacks? Because that is what I want to do, haha. I hate shower games!
She also informed me that there's some sort of activity where you put chocolate in a diaper and pretend it's poop and I am still horrified by that, haha.

A million times, yes. This is why my sister is under strict instructions to make it more of an open house type party. There will be no games (unless you count Cards Against Humanity, which will be set up for people to play if they want), finger food only, and it will be coed. Some of the people I'm closest with are men and I want them there to celebrate with me. I don't know if I'll open presents or not. I'm indifferent about that.
Oh, and there will be plenty of beer and wine. GOOD beer, not crap.
This is exactly how we did my wedding shower and it was so much more fun than games and shit. Blech.
@SisterSunshine and @Samara267 - I feel the same. I don't like wedding showers, baby showers, tupperware parties, etc. My shower is a co-ed shower, no weird games, organized around our fav NFL team's game that Sunday!
After all that, I'm sure mine will be complete with crepe paper and silly baby games. I am grateful, but why does it have to be like that. Of Course I am biting my tongue because a shower is a gift. Even though it is not the party that I would throw. I'd really rather throw a party for the people who are showing up. I'm going to try not to be upset if there's little plastic babies frozen in ice cubes for the drinks or if people approach me with length of string to measure my belly. And the candy bar chocolate in the diaper thing sounds absolutely disgusting. I really hope that doesn't happen at mine.
I'll be the weird one here I guess. I actually enjoy going to people's showers. I know they're cheesy and the food is usually not great but, that's part of their charm! I love watching people open presents and seeing their reactions and the reactions of the people who bought the gift when they see how happy the receiver is. Plus, a shower of any kind usually ALWAYS means dessert of some kind and i'm totally ok with that.
My UO is I think people shouldn't go out in public if they are gassy. I had the unpleasant opportunity to be stuck behind a lady three times who had severe gas at hobby lobby. -sigh- use the toilet lady.
Funny I was in Home Goods today and had gas. I just walked over to an aisle by myself and let it out. Sorry I still have stuff to do. If I didn't leave the house because of gas I would never leave the house.
Me either! But the lady looked at me and let it rip all three times. I mean, if I have to let it out I'll move aisles ( just so I don't has to smell it myself lol ) She did it on purpose lol
