[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not tacky. And with a 13 year age gap, she probably has a lot of new friends who weren’t there for the first shower. My oldest is 8 and there were already so many different things when I had my last baby, I can imagine even if she saved things, nothing would meet current safety standards. I would have zero problem going and bringing a gift. If someone doesn’t want to go, they can RSVP no.[/quote]

+1 I’m all for etiquette rules and adamantly refused my MIL’s attempts to give me a shower for my second, but that big of an age gap the mom probably needs new everything.  If she is really worried about people thinking it is greedy, I guess she could decline to register for big ticket items like a stroller, but honestly I think it’s fine. [/quote]

The mom would certainly need a new car seat and crib to comply with the latest safety standards.

My MIL threw me a shower in CT because they didn't want to have to leave to come down here for the one my BFF threw. And none of my DH's aunts and uncles or cousins wanted to drive that far either.  :( I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they aren't that into my kids now...[/quote]
