Doubting if I should have baby shower or not. I was into the idea of having one like at home with close family and friends. However, with how people are these days and how little they care and selfish they have been, it put me off. For instance, one friend of dh only wants to come to our house to chill and whenever be comes be turns up empty handed whilst staying over for a night or so. Another one told me to that she would be give some of her son's clothes when for my baby and arranged a date, but nothing so far after she cancelled our meeting. The rest don't even get in touch to check on us or did anything to help.
My family hasn't offered to cover any expenses or buy any stuff for me or the baby. I know I'm not entitled to get anything but still something small would have been nice. So far, me and DH have bought everything with no help. So when I think of about the baby shower now, it looks like I'm going to end up planning and spending my money on it so what's the point? Plus I'm getting really tired and uncomfortable with the pregnancy and don't want to bother people to do stuff for me.
I have seen most places that baby shower are meant to be arranged by close friend, family and they are meant to throw the party for me, not the other way round. So if I organize my own it would be maybe odd? When I think about it, I could utilise the money to use on other important stuff like for me or the baby. Am I being negative?
