[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the OP she said that the mom said "Oh, I have everything I need".  Which to me is different from "I really don't want anything!".  I would have replied the same way if someone asked me about a sprinkle for my second, just because it's kind of the polite thing to say.

I do think that one should be careful to accept the mom's wishes, but I also think that it's possible that this mom here hasn't actually expressed that she doesn't want anything.  [/quote]

This. I didn’t see anywhere the mom said she didn’t want a celebration just that she  was asked if she had everything she needed.

And As far as showers for subsequent kids not being ok, that is so outdated. I just went to a shower for a friend”s 4th baby and have been to plenty for 2nd and 3rd. It’s just getting together to celebrate the new baby. And maybe it’s because I have always lived in this area but buying a “big” gift for a shower like a stroller or car seat is not common. Most of the actual baby gear is bought by the parents themselves.[/quote]
