Convince my H that "meet the baby" parties are okay.
Long story short, my bridal shower was crazy and rather than going through that again, I said when we have a baby I'd rather do a "meet the baby" party. Make it a potluck and anyone can come and I don't expect any gifts, just something so that family we don't see much can see the baby rather than just me. H doesn't like the idea
Ron*N*Kel I'm old school too about the marriage, kids, shower thing, but I seem to be the only one of my friends that feels that way.
Thanks to everyone for your opinions. Just so you know, it is not the boyfriend's first baby, their kids are actually are only 5 months apart. I forgot to mention that. I'm not sure if anyone offered to throw one. Last time her mother and I threw the shower. I haven't talked to her since I posted that (working nights doesn't allow for a lot of talk free time), but I'll her know what you all said. Thanks
