And cringey, as in asking people essentially to buy you stuff for getting knocked up and not particularly inkeeping with traditional English values. I know it's American. I know it's become popular over here. And I know lots of women love them.
I am currently (what feels like) seven years pregnant with my second. I didn't have a shower the first time and I don't want one this time. I would feel aghast if one was organised for me and probably try to out-spend the guests by getting in posh food and booze.
I don't know. Think perhaps I'm being a grumpy twat but I feel Pissed off at being invited to one for my colleague. Why not just send out a note to everyone you know and ask for monetary donations towards your baby?!
Actually, I should point out that I went to a friend's baby shower when I wasn't pregnant and let the whimsy of it just pass me by. And the wine helped.
Maybe it is this particular person. She is very look how much this cost, I won't even TELL you how much blah cost, snooty. Do I have to remortgage to get her a gift she will appreciate?
Is the general consensus that these showers are FUN! And CUTE! ??
