[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us were taught certain behavior rules, which this definitely violates, but we need to understand that not everyone had the benefit of learning rules about social norms and maybe they just want to have a fun event. Or maybe they want a gift grab. [/quote]

I was taught the same thing, but times change. It’s similar to being really wound up about someone wearing white after Labor Day, as noted earlier in the thread. If you had a baby shower thrown by your friend, you are participating in exactly as much of a gift grab as someone whose shower was thrown by a relative.[/quote]

This.  Times change.[/quote]

Shakedowns have become acceptable?  [/quote]
If you genuinely felt a baby shower was a shakedown and clearly resented it why would you go? What kind of friend or family member do you have that they’re shaking you down for gifts like they’re the mommy mafia?[/quote]

I have no friends or family who would do that. [/quote]

DP. Have you read the whole thread? I think you are missing the nuance of what the criticism is about.

Oh? Mom and grandmom are dead, but I am sure there are some living family members? Or all of them are dead or estranged? OP, what is your story? What made you such a witch?[/quote][/quote]
