[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does sort of solve the DCUM mystery of why showers are always torn apart on here.

It’s okay for couples to have kids young, to get gifts, and to actually need the help. I get it: you chose otherwise. But it’s normal and fine for middle class people to have kids in their mid 20s and need a shower to get ready to welcome baby. It’s not tacky or bad or low class or for low IQ people. It’s normal.

It's not young couples that we are tearing apart.  It's the lady in her mid 30s wanting a shower.  I mean, really?  Most of us are making well over $100K by then.  We don't need showers.

And yes, showers absolutely are tacky.   [/quote]

Is Christmas tacky? Are birthdays tacky? I mean they're just part of our culture. To be tacky, you sort of have to be doing something that's out-of-step with your own culture, so, definitionally, I think it's impossible for showers to be tacky given that they are also normal and a rite of passage.
