[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else wonder how such self-centered women who don’t value family can possibly be good mothers? [/quote]

"Valuing family" = asking a pregnant woman to drive for 10 hours because you don't want to drive 10 hours to her city and back to attend the same event. Right. [/quote]

Pregnancy is not a handicap and deserves no special privileges.  The person recieving the gifts drives

Why must one drive for gifts one doesn't even want? I dislike showers and don't need anyone to buy me baby things, and I despise driving. No part of this scenario is appealing to me. You will probably pivot to say it's about family, but that's a 2-way street. The people purporting to honor the mother to be should accommodate her, not the other way around. In any case, you said the person receiving the gifts drives, but what if you don't want or need gifts, as is the case for most DMV mothers in their 30s? The truth is the whole point of a non-local shower is for the extended family, not the mother to be.[/quote]

Nope. I also don't care about family or gifts and I would just say no and I would not need to come to an anonymous chat room for advice.[/quote]
