I was really excited about having a baby shower (pregnant with my first child) but my family dosn't like my b/f's family (my family is very stuck up and i dont know why) and i want everyone to be there. my brother offered for me to have my baby shower at his house but only a couple people from my b/fs family can go when there's alot of people from his family that i want there. i dont have the money to rent a place or i would do that. should i just forget about a baby shower and spare myself the stress? suggestions please. -Ams

you should have two baby showers. since your family doesnt like your boyfriends family, they should pay for one of them.

You may want to consider having 2 baby showers, one on each side of the family. Accept your brother's generous offer to have a shower at his house and invite your side of the family to that one. It is also a nice gesture to invite your boyfriend's mother and his sisters/sisters-in-law if he has any. If someone from your boyfriend's side of the family will throw a shower for his side, that would solve the space issue plus would be less stressful to have both sides together if they don't get along. It seems to be a growing practice to throw your own baby shower, but it is rather presumptuous to throw your own party, especially when gifts are expected. If you have a sister, close cousin or friend who can throw the shower on your side and perhaps your boyfriend's sister or a close mutual friend could throw one for his side. It takes a lot of work to throw a shower and you should be the guest of honor and not the hostess. It is so much more pleasant and relaxing to be the one who is pampered and taken care of instead of trying to keep the bean dip replenished and the punch cups filled.

Have your shower the way you want. The day is about you and your baby. Those that want to come will, and those who don't won't. In the end, you'll still probably get gifts from all of them, so why stress. That's really what a baby shower is for, after all, the gifts.

Why not just accept your brother's kind offer, let someone throw you a baby shower at his house, and whoever comes, comes? Your baby shower is your day, and you shouldn't worry about trying to jump through hoops to accommodate the dramatic members of the family. Let them do their thing, and just enjoy your baby shower.

the first 8 lines are 5 questions. so that you're smothering your reader and by technique of the time they get to the second one or 0.33 question i imagine they'd supply up. This poem appears a operating monologue about some thing so it would not look like a poem in any respect. So, the following is two options. Drop all those questions and exercising consultation the meter of this poem. enable a particular quantity of words or syllables in accordance to line and spot how curiously. Then flow on from there.

You are about to have the most precious thing in your life happen and you deserve love and support, not hassles. That baby is a part of both of you! So, if they plan on loving their grandchild, they need to love your man, too. I'm sure you wouldn't love him if there wasn't something amazing about him. Remind your parents/family of that! When the baby gets here, wait and see if all that love they feel doesn't just mellow everyone out. Good luck to you!

i threw a seperate shower for my sister in law for the same reason. her sister threw on for their side of the family and i threw one the following weekend for our side of the family and her friends. it went very well on our side and it was like karma since my SIL went into labor the day of her shower on her side!!!!!!!!!!!!! You may try to have someone on the b'fs side to throw a seperate shower and you wont have to stress about people not getting along. good luck!

Tell your family that they have no right to dislike him without reason, and that it's your shower, so they need to let it go for the day and concentrate on your special time. ***Replying to your answer, Kayla is a LOVELY name :D***

you should relax. normally someonen else is planning the baby shower not the pregnant one. you should look into having it at a church. that's what i'm doing. they take donations.

Why not have two baby showers, one for each family?!?!?
