| Do you consider that tacky? Kids are the same gender. |

| Not a bit! You need new everything. |

| YES. You are 15 years older and should be able to afford what you need for another kid. You are no longer young and clueless. |

| Don't ask for a shower, but if someone wants to throw one for you, why not? It's a party. If someone is mortally offended, they won't go. |

| It's not tacky at all. It doesn't matter whether you're 15 years older or 15 years younger, the reasons for a shower remain the same: to celebrate the parents-to-be, buy them cute things, and ease the financial load. |

If the shower is for you, congrats! If the shower is for someone you are trying to judge, just stay home. |

| Fine. I am not a fan of baby showers but its not like they saved their stuff and most of the gear would be too outdated to use by safety standards. |

| Not tacky. You don't have all the stuff and it is a new kid. I think little celebration are appropriate for each kid. It used to be baptisms but if people don't do that, then a sprinkle or welcome party is good. And definitely for a mom who is have kids so far apart with none in between. |

It's not for me. I was invited to a friend's shower and I was kind of surprised she was having one. |

my friends threw me a very low key one. People brought their kids and we had a onesie making craft station for them.
It was basically cake, conversation and a few small gifts. It was nice. |

Jerk. That is no the point of a shower. |

I wouldn't mind this. This shower has a guest list of over 50 and it has registry info. |

You're surprised she doesn't have all her baby gear and clothing from 15 years ago? |

Oh, and congrats on the new little one, OP  15 years is close to 2X the large gap I have, but our second was a very happy surprise after many, many years of secondary infertility and several IUI attempts with one ending in a miscarriage. Got pregnant without help as we were about to return to the clinic for our last tries before calling it quits on a second. Sweet surprise baby is napping in my lap right now - she's 14 weeks today. Good luck!
