Didn’t bring a gift for the baby

[fauxpasfriday]

Friend A met Friend B’s baby this weekend but didn’t bring a gift.

However, Friend A gave a gift at the baby shower and posted a small present on arrival.

Baby is 2 months but friends don’t live close.

Is Friend A UR?

Posted too soon.

Some of these threads are absolutely fascinating in terms of people’s psychology and reading comprehension. OP has said not a word about what B has done, apart from have a baby, and she is vilified as greedy and grabby! People love to fill in the gaps.

I think MN should clamp down on these sorts of OPs though. Lack of info and failure to say what your point of view is. It’s supposed to be am I being unreasonable. So you need to say what ‘I’ thinks don’t you? Annoying. And yes I am the thread police 😂

Sorry, I haven’t come on MN very much.

I am A. B is not grabby or entitled etc.

It was a mutual friend who also visited that commented why I hadn’t brought anything which is why I asked as I was worried.

My OP gave the relevant information needed to decide if you thought not bringing something was rude.

Thank you for the replies and opinions

Ah ! You should have mentioned C in your post !!!

😄
Yes, this was a bit of a whodunnit wasn’t it. It was C!

C is definitely the issue here!

I would, something small, a token rattle or Teddy or something. But then I was taught to take a gift whenever you visit someone. Even if its just a packet of biscuits, I would always take something.

Apologies for poor grammar, I'm very tired and can't fix it.
