Why are we so selfish
I have a close group of girlfriends(about 5 of us) and I and another girl have had a child within in a few weeks of each other. Well one good friend threw both of us a shower, so I though in return I should do her a shower now that she is expecting her first. Well none of the other girls are stepping up to help out. It woud not be such a big deal but this girls has done baby showers, wedding showers and all that good stuff for us. Why is no one willing to step up and help me throw a great shower for her. I know the economy is bad, BUT..... Anyway Whining over!
Re: Why are we so selfish
In a situation like this, I would step up and say something. I might even go as far as to say to them what you just said. I truly believe in doing for others esp since they've done so much for you, so it sounds like.
Other than that what you could do was plan the shower, get the invites, and arrange the food and place, then ask who wants to chip in. I know that sometimes I'm hesitant to volunteer for stuff like this b/c I'm not very good at planning things, arranging parties, etc. maybe some of the girls are like that, so that's where you could just offer to mostly do all of it, then just ask them for financial help, does that make sense?? They would still be considered hostess, yet you and whoever wanted to help plan it would be doing most of that.
Could it be that it's just a bad time of year? My holiday stress is already kicking in and I'm hesitant to volunteer for things because there is so much to do between now and New Years and take time for myself. Is it possible to discuss it after the holidays?
If money is an issue, maybe you can convince them to diy some things. Have the shower at someone's house, make your own food, etc.
Ditto! It's so sad that they don't want to help. If they still refuse to chip in, do the best you can on your budget.
Maybe its a bad time of year, but really when is a good time? My daughter was born on mothers day. And she still threw me a shower then...
But regardless I will do the shower and it will be great!~
