[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe so many posters don’t see anything wrong with this!  Guys, it’s rude and you’re being taken advantage of!

You get one baby shower for your first baby - that’s it,  And your mother should not be the one hosting.

Our generation is getting a really unpleasant reputation as the Me, Me, Me Generation with our ridiculous Sprinkles, Gender Reveal parties, etc.  Obvious gift grabs.  [/quote]

Who is being taken advantage of? How? It’s a party invite. Don’t go if you don’t want to. Don’t bring a gift, or bring something small, if that’s what feels appropriate to you.

The problem is you are stuck in this Miss Manners, rule-based system where everything is a rock solid obligation. It’s not. I used to politely decline baby showers all the time when I was not in a good headspace to attend. It’s fine. Be a grown up and make your own choices without trying to impose them on everyone else.[/quote]

Having a shower for a second child is seen as a demand for more free stuff.  People feel compelled to give another gift (hence taken advantage of).  It’s common decency to try to not be greedy, PP.

Np here and I agree with our generation as the me, me, me generation.  It’s embarrassing.  [/quote]
