[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from a Midwestern working class family.  I'd say in my circles, everyone has a 1st baby shower.   Some have a 2nd shower, but not everyone. Most showers are thrown by friends/family together.  Like a mother, mother in law and best friends pitching in together to host, decorate, make food....  Whatever is fine with me but if you think it's tacky, don't go and don't send a gift.  [/quote]

You know.  I am from the Midwest too, and although I have been to many second baby showers, I can't think of any where the older generation was involved.   Usually it's just a group of girlfriends.  Husbands take the kids, and we get together and decorate, serve food, etc.  Most gifts are fairly inexpensive or homemade.  The social aspect kind of reminds me of the MLM parties, but exchange cute baby baby stuff for the tacky purses and jewelry.

How can you compare a baby shower to MLM parties?

[b]The sprinkles I have attended are mostly friends getting together, [/b]kind of like a birthday gathering.

I love getting together with my friends and I enjoy buying gifts for my friends.

I admit I was annoyed when I got invited to a sprinkle for a third child but it was probably because I don’t like the mom. We are not close.[/quote]

That’s what the MLM parties I have been to are like.  [/quote]
