venting lol

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Dont really know how to post this just wanted to get it off my chest because it seems to really irratate me and Dh is tired of hearing me because he is all I can talk to lol.

This is my second Pg so I know that baby showers are not common with your second baby. Ok I get that.
But early in the pg I was under the impression that there would be one. My mother had talked about it vaguely. Well Fast forward till about two months ago when my cousin now finds out that she is "pregnant". Which I would be happy for anyone the be having another baby but ..... she seems to not care at all!!!!!! The women does not take care of her own child let alone having to take care of herself! She sends her daughter to a babysitter 5 days of the week because her "soon the be ex husband" pays for it even though she is drawing unemployment and sleeps all day!!!My grandmother is supporting her basically and she is not thankful at all. Anyways she is about 4 months along now and just now going to the doctor because she has been spotting this whole time and had this very same thing happen with her DD and complications the whole way through. She has been giving everything for her DD from my grandmother and aunt because she throws a pity party but has nothing left from when her DD was a baby (just three yrs ago) because she litterally threw it in the trash because she does not want to mess with it.

So now I am told by my mom that I will not be having a baby shower because my grandmother and aunt does not want to have one for her because she is ungrateful and expects them to buy it all and they do not see her fit for having a shower!!!

So it kinda hurts that someone who planned and tried to have another baby gets the bad end of the deal because someone else ruins it for people who generally needed it.

Maybe I am being unreasonable?? I dont care about the shower part of it because really I still have everything from DS and I take really good care of our stuff but Its the fact that this was there reason??

Sounds like she learned to be the way she is because your aunt and grandmother wouldn't tell her no. Instead of not giving you a shower they should be telling her she won't be getting one but you will.

Such a crummy situation - I bet your grateful you're not in her shoes.

It stinks when people who aren't responsible ruin things for people who are. :

Sorry, that's not fair to you.

I agree. But you probably can't change their minds, I'm guessing it has been like this for a while. I like the idea of having your own baby welcoming get together to replace the shower.

Throw a shower for yourself. I don't really care what ppl say about it being bad taste. There is nothing wrong with throwing a party to celebrate your new babe.

Sorry about your cousin. She sounds, um, DELIGHTFUL...
