@2boiz_1gurl you better know it !! Since I'm having mine at 35 weeks and I'm not depending on the baby shower it just feel like I still have to get stuff as far as the hospital bag and the things he need because this my first I Dnt know wat all to expect and he a boy and my family have girls. But with god and faith he will have everything he need... you know as a mom we just want so much... and me and u both know god got it taken care of..
I love your profile pic.. see u have kids girl this my first ... this so new to Me!! Lol see u done had baby shower you know what to expect I Dnt know I'm blind .. only thing I can go off on my two friends and what I read on here ..
I'm terrified that my baby shower will be like that. Hubby lost his job and we can't even pay our bills so if I don't get anything from my registry, I'm s##t out of luck. I have a few onesies and a couple blankets and that's it! I've invited quite a few people, mostly family, bit they can be pretty flakey. My dad didn't even show up at my wedding, ugh!
@2boiz1gurl I hear ya but the one pound/ dollar store items is beyond taking the piss. It just goes to show you how some people are right? Plus I see you already have kids so I'm sure you will be fine. Just take things easy and not worry!
@2blessed2bestress Aww I'm having my first too and just did a lot of research on what I might need and asked around. I started buying things for baby as soon as I found out I was preggers and slowly graduated onto buying bigger stuff. Not everything is new though. My best friend gave me all her newborn clothes, some were never used and my cousin wants to give me her baby bath but my partner already bought that. I'm just excited to have this baby and want to be prepared. That's all! Hope you have a good baby shower though
@victoriab your right, family can be pretty flakey. You said your dad never went to your wedding, well I wish my dad was alive to see his grandchild. We complain about our parents when they are here but miss them when gone and right now, I'm missing mine.
@2boiz_1gurl Ok it sucks that you have very cheap friends, but if your grandma got you most big things you need, why are you complaining hun ? you got more than most of us get on our baby showers, alot of people have to buy EVERYTHING, due to the fact that the economy is hard now a days and people rather waste their money on something they need than on someone else, and besides is your baby not theirs.
Smh, this is exactly why I've been buying little things here and there myself. I love my family and friends, but I don't trust anybody to get me what I need. My mom is the only one that's really been helpful and she live 1200 miles away. I bought some bottles, I'm going to buy blankets and receiving blankets. I've also already bought baby wash , and lotions. My mommy bought my sons Mickey Mouse swing. I love her! Anyways girl go to the dollar store and walmart for the little stuff.
Thats why im not having one, my husband really wants to throw me one but I just told him that with the money he is going to spend I would buy what I really need. I dont expect others to get me anything, is our baby so we have to be the ones to buy babys needs. If family and friends truly want to give us something, they will with or without a babyshower. They dont have to if they dont feel like it.
I didn't have one with this one on the way and shoot! This one cost me $2000 on everything! I an a single mom btw, so plz don't invest much on a shower, make it simple and good food and hopefully things be better on your following shower!
Same thing happened to me. Only 3 people showed other than family. The people that didn't show promised me gift cards. It's been 10 weeks and no gifts from them. I even work with some of them and they look at me every day and hear me talk about my baby.
Im sorry i have to comment on this. I have seen these posts all over lately and im confused???? First as was already said these are our babies. We made them and it is our duty to provide all the things they need. Investing alot of money into a party seems unwise when people are saying they didn't get onsies or bottles. Use that money towards ur basics!!!! I understand people want to have showers to get free gifts. I think instead of being upset about who didn't show or who did but didn't bring anything or a nice gift we should focus on our babies and the people who love us and support us!! It is not our friends or families responsibility to provide us with the things we need. However they are responsible for loving us and supporting us. Don't mean to preach or step on toes. Just my opinion!! Best of luck with your new bundle
@missthiggy I completely agree. but i also think a shower is a celebration of what is to come with a new addition, or for the new arrival that has already come. i agree with the perception that we made the babies, and we should provide all that is required. i also think that it is a tradition that is quickly dying away because other people don't participate where necessary (not saying gifts are the required participation). to me it's comparing a baby shower to christmas- grandparents are usually expected to get all their grandchildren gifts etc. i don't know if this sounds humble jumble or if it actually came out understandable or not.
@Janet_2011 I wasn't complaining I was VENTING! This post was mainly about the fact that ppl rsvp and DIDN'T show! I'm out $300 from my bbyshower and it was not at all worth it!!! The stuff my grandmothers got me she would've got for me regradless bbyshower or NOT! So yes I have every right to be pissed that ppl flaked on my shower and ppl got me $1 items that I will not be using! I still had to buy diapers, bottles, onesis, and clothes all equaling to more then what my grandmothers spent , so I really don't see the point of post!? I'm very gratefully for my grandmother its worded above but other then a crib and car seat my child needed WAY MORE please don't respond because you literally just pissed me off with your comment like no shit this is my bby? WTH hella unneeded I'm not stupid and please believe my son will get everything he needs just like my other two!!!!
My mom is throwing my baby shower in January right aftwr the first of the yr and im scared that everybody is gunna be out of town... But the same thing happened at wedding. I nvited like 75 people and we had like 25 ppl show up and his mom took decorations that we told her not to.and people didnt get anything on our registry. I was pissed I just hope things go good with my baby shower even know its so far off. Im sorry you had a sucky shower hopefully you can get what you need.
@2boiz_1gurl Girl take a deep breath and chill, it isnt my fault you have cheap friends, and it isnt my fault you expected people to get you things you like, a baby shower is to celebrate a baby, not to expect gifts or things you want, get over it. Your hormones are way out of hand, bashing at me wont help you. This is an open forum, i get to give my opinion regardless if you like it or not.
@navywife and that's all I'm saying smh ppl wanna get smart mouth and say well its ur bby like wth ur missing the whole point smh IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! I wouldn't have had one if damn near 50 ppl promised to show! Never did I depend on anyone to bring me anything big...like bbyshower gifts are at least onesis, receiving blankets, diapers, bottles you kno stuff like that and I didn't get any WHY because ppl flaked. @missthiggy I'm just gonna smh because I don't fully agree with what your saying and like I stated before I'M ALLOWED TO VENT! AND YES IT'S MY BBY AND I GOT MY BBY WHAT HE NEEDED! @survivormommie3 I agree with you! It's about the celebration! And gift are awesome I didn't want to have one but I was talked into it by a group of ppl that didn't even come...who does that...especially my husbands mother she BROUGHT NOTHING and I expected something from her like for real its ur grandson!!!
