[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the issue.

I have attend a very large self hosted baby shower for someone’s surprise 3rd baby. The two children were much older so they didn’t have any baby stuff.

My mom and teen daughter hosted my 2nd baby shower for me at my house. I would have preferred not to have one, but they insisted on doing it.  My 2nd was also an oops baby and I didn’t have anything.

Most people aren’t hosting baby showers to get gifts with the amount of planning and cost that goes into hosting.[/quote]

Well if they aren’t hosting for gifts then they would so no gifts. 
By the way, you said you had a second baby shower and didn’t have anything. You wanted gifts. [/quote]

No. I didn’t want any gifts. We are upper middle class and have more than enough money.  I actually hate getting gifts and prefer to buy my own stuff. I did not register anywhere. My teen daughter and mother insisted on having it. I wasn’t keen on the idea, but I caved for them. I believe many people who have 2nd baby showers are talked into it because close friends or family are really excited for them. My point in saying that I didn’t have any baby stuff is because it really was like starting from scratch given there was a 13 year span with my first child.[/quote]

That is so sweet.  I have a huge gap between DD and DS too.  DD was so about becoming a big sister that she and DH hosted a surprise baby shower and invited our family.  I ended up getting 3 more baby-showers thrown  by  friends, neighbors and co-workers.  LOL.   And we were comfortably UMC by baby 2, so I was actually already buying high-end designer stuff that I liked. But, it was so sweet to have my pregnancy and happiness celebrated. I was also in the same shoes as you, I had already given away my baby stuff to others, convinced that I had secondary infertility.

With my firstborn, we had recently bought a brand new SFH, so we were stretched.  But, I was thrown a beautiful surprise babyshower by a very close friend and got gifts from Target that were truly precious to me. [/quote]

You should never ever admit that you had 4 baby shower for 1 baby and to top it off, it was your second baby. 
You have no integrity and are incredibly tacky. [/quote]

I don't care what you think at all.  I loved that I got 4 baby showers for the 2nd baby and that people outside of my family actually liked me enough to want to throw me surprise baby showers.  I LOVED it. I also love both my kids and so I liked it a lot that both were celebrated.

I am also enjoying that you are feeling so terrible that others are loved and celebrated.  :lol:  :lol:
