Vent

Just gotta vent a little, ladies.  I can't believe one of my friends had the nerve to ask my SIL if there will be a babysitter for her child at my baby shower!!! Some of my friends decided to bring their kids with them, and that was fine, but I can't believe this friend would actually think a babysitter would be provided.  I am so embarrass... I did not even know what to tell my SIL.

Re: Vent

  • Oh wow! That's bold. I couldn't imagine asking somebody that.
  • Why would a babysitter be needed at a baby shower?  I mean I've been to a few with Sarah and I don't expect anyone to watch her but me.  If I didn't want to watch her, or if babies weren't invited, I wouldn't bring her...It would never occur to me to ask if a sitter was going to be provided.  That's horrible etiquette...

  • I know... my SIL is doing a lot as it is, and I can't believe my own friend(s) would do that! As it was, it was supposed to be an adult-only party, but since a few of my friends have kids, and my SIL knew they do not have babysitters that day, she said it was ok to bring them along.  I did not know thay would go as far as asking for a babysitter.  OMG! These are my friends!!! How embarrassing!Embarrassed
  • You should call this friend and ask her if she wouldn't mind babysitting at your shower because you heard some people were wondering if you were going to provide one. Then guilt-trip her if she refuses.
  • Wow. If her kids are that much of an issue to where she feels a babysitter is necessary, she should probably leave them home.
  • Who expects a babysitter at a baby shower? How weird and rude. Tell her she's welcome to leave her kid at home or bring her own babysitter to watch everyone's kid.
  • Well that's a new one. I can't understand why she thinks it would be necessary at a baby shower.
  • Oh wow that is really forward of her
    I wonder if she's been to showers in the past where they provided a sitter
    but even so that was rude

    My bff who threw my shower offered to have her nieces babysit at my shower but I didn't think it was necessary so I said no.  No one asked if there would be babysitting though.  That is just weird.
