Baby Shower

[Paisley2018]

I am invited to a close friends baby shower and I really do not want to go. I just really detest them. I think they are so cringey. Not my cup of tea at all. AMBU to not want to go? Should I just be going out of ‘duty’ to my friend?

@Dawnlassie

American claptrap. Basically a requested for attention and presents. I didnt want one and avoid them aside from my closest friends.

Or a wonderful Canadian tradition where friends and family join together to help out a new mum. The mum-to-be should not be throwing her own shower though. And gender reveal parties can fuck off.

Oh I don’t think I could do that @Normandy144. I don’t think etiquette would really bother her. I think she sees it as if she organises it herself then it will be exactly the way she wants it.

I've only been invited to one and it was about 2 years ago. I made up an excuse as to why I couldn't go. I agree; they are awful.

OP please don't go even if it is all long after Covid 19 has gone. Awful US idea.

Hi I have had my 12 week scan today and based on theory I think it's a girl. Are there any experts out there that can help lol. I did same on a friend's scan where we thought it was a boy but was confirmed by gender scan to be a girl so I'm doubting I'm reading my scan right 😊
