Seriously? (Somewhat BR)
I just got an invite to a baby shower for one of my sister's friends who lives in NY, near our mom. I knew her well when we were younger but we haven't seen much of each other since I went to college. Ordinarily I would probably send a gift, but this is her FOURTH child.
I feel as though I can hear Emily Post rolling in her grave.
Re: Seriously? (Somewhat BR)
Yeah totally sounds like a gift grab. Bleh.
Babies are babies. They all need the same basic things. They only thing I can see a baby needing different is clothing (if she's having a different sex).
But I do know that some families want to throw a shower for each baby. If it were me I'd politely decline or ask that guests not bring gifts but I understand everyone is different.
I swear if one of my friends ever has 4 children and I get an invite for 4 showers my eyes will roll out of my head.
Haha
I agree! I am totally like this! I got an invite for a girl that is having her fourth girl...Really what else could she possibly need???
I guess it just depends on the family culture. I know people who have had baby showers for every one of their kids, and I know those that have had them only once. It is kind of up to the family system that you are a part of.
It just doesn't bother me that much. It's not like at this stage in the game she is picking out all brand new furniture for the little one. (Unless she is, then I would feel differently.)
