Ladies That Had A Baby Shower For Their First Child

Question

Did You Ladies Let Your Husband Or Boyfriend Help Out With Planinq The Shower Or Did You Do It On Your Own Or Had People You Wanted To Help? My Boyfriend Is Acting Like A CHILD Because I Want My Mom And Sister In Law / Sons God Mom To Help This Is My First. I Would Love For Him To Be Involved But Says No To EVERYTHING I Say So I Really Dnt Want His Input Anymore Now He's Talkinq About Not Invitinq His Family And Have His Own Shower Which Is Beyond STUPID He Feels As Though All Of His Family Should Pitch In To Help Like We Need Handouts When We Dont Need Their Help I Just Want Them To Show Up And Have Fun! The Only Thing I Feel They Should Do Is Bring A Gift. Am I Wrong?

So last pregnancy I had 3. (Totally overwhelming ) I my church put on, 1 my huge family of in laws put on, and one a friend did where i helped. It was too much for me to plan one plus finances are rough right now so I wasn't going to have one this time. Some friends at church put together one for me and I did nothing. Hubby wasn't involved in any.

My husband ended up being deployed for my baby shower, he would of been involved if he could, I invited all his family but no one came or sent anything, I know we live 10 hours away but my family is 14 hours away and many drove down for it and even had sent many gifts.

If he wants to help let him, most men could careless and show up at the end and make an appearance gather the gifts and go. So the fact he wants to help you dhould be happy. Now i'd sit him down and say you can help byt its my day and i have the final say but let the man help. Most families throw the shower for the person and all you do is make a registry give a list of guests and show up. Your supposed to be pampered that day and RELAX!!I think your stressing out a little, let them help, especially your bf. He is the dad and obviously wants to be an involved parent. JMO good luck

My 2 sisters did my first shower. Then with my second 1 of my sisters moved out of the state so it was my 1 sister and mom that did it for me.

You're not wrong at all. I decided to plan my own as well for this coming April. It's nice to see someone who's doing it themselves with help too. I know it's normal to have others throw it for you, but in our case our bridal shower and wedding were a lot this past year and my friends live in a different state lol. So I get it. Hubs wants to help but he works so he just gave me a budget and said go do what you want. Lol

I'm n the same boat kind of. I would love my son's dad to help but he makes no attempt and always makes excuses. Then he goes from he's coming to he's not coming to the baby shower. Its complicated because it's a little rivalry between him n my cuzzins so my son's dad feels one he has to come mob deep when all he has to do is just b there n participate. I already let my cousins know it's my day so I dnt need it ruined. But lol to answer your question no ur not wrong at all.
