[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my Mom hadn't thrown me one I wouldn't of had one :([/quote]

So? Are you destitute and unable to afford your own stuff? [/quote]

What planet are you from? Sincerely asking..  clearly one of privilege,  lacking in tact and empathy. [/quote]

Actually, no. I just don't understand the big sad faces for the possibility that one might not *gasp* have had a baby shower. It's actually a very privileged point of view that a having shower is such the expectation that it is. [/quote]

I'm not poor thank you and I did buy most of my stuff. My very first baby and I wanted to celebrate with friends and family. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. So what if I want to enjoy this time in my life. Sorry you're no fun.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my shower and it meant a lot to me. It wasn't about gifts.  [/quote]

Agreed and I was in the same position. My friends were happy to attend but didn't have the time or ability to throw it at that point (serving overseas, another didn't have the money and another was dealing with a parents death).

Showers are about friends celebrating with you and less about gifts. Frankly I didn't care about getting gifts. [/quote]
