I am pregnant with baby#2. I had ds almost 5 years ago. My family wants to have a small shower for me because this baby is a girl. Is this inappropriate do you think? It would only be my close friends and family [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

i think that if it is just your close friends and family, they'd be happy to celebrate your new baby girl and wouldn't think twice. [ Reply | More

I think it is fine and that people need to chill the f* out. You're not throwing hte shower right? That would be tacky. Everyone you're inviting is probably going to send a baby gift anyway. And no, not some greedy person. Have one db and didn't have a shower at all. [ Reply | More

even op knows it's wrong or she wouldn't have to feel the need to mention she had first dc 5 years ago. nobody needs to chill out. it's bad form. period. let your friends send you gifts if they want without making it mandatory. oh, and i don't need anyone to manipulate me into donating to charity, either.

I don't know why people making a fuss about this. If her family wants to have a shower, let them have it. I don't see what the big deal with it. Her friends would give her a gift anyway (don't you?), so why not shower? [ Reply | More

Why would you let a group of random strangers make this decision for you? If your family wants to have it, and you would enjoy it, then have it. Sheesh. [ Reply | More

The first is a boy. The second is a girl. I don't think it's that strange that she might want to have a celebration for her first daughter. [ Reply | More
