[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh the people who say parents cannot throw showers need to stop. Not everyone lives in the etiquette world where the mom has seven close friends to finance a shower. Completely ridiculous expectation that others should finance the party[/quote]

Etiquette is important.  Throwing a gift grab for yourself or your child is gauche.  Showers were originally for brides who were going from their parents home to her home as a new wife where she would need many things to set up housekeeping. Today women have good jobs and have lived on their own and, often, live with several different men prior to marrying one of them.  She already has what she needs to set up housekeeping.  Baby shower were for first time mothers because she has no baby paraphernalia and showers were hosted by friends who were not close family me members.

All showers today are nothing but gift grabs by gift grabbers.[/quote]

OP here. You sound like a bitter angry person who hates women. Good luck with that one. Hopefully you don’t have a daughter. Who cares if a woman has lived with prior partners before her husband? I doubt you would I say the same about the man.

A baby shower to me symbolizes the celebration of a new life. Many people want to buy baby gifts for a new mom and baby. [/quote]
