My mother-in-law told me baby showers were for "broke people"

What the? If she doesn’t like it she doesn’t have to come

Don’t let anyone steal your joy! If you think she doesn’t like you now, having a baby shower won’t make her any different. She might soften when she sees her new grandchild. Baby shower is celebrating an exciting event….not anything more.

Never had showers… just kind friends who dropped off lovely little gifts and had a cup of tea.i did the same

I’d have the biggest, flashiest baby shower that town had ever seen and shove it her face.

MIL needs a serious come to Jesus conversation. She’s probably why her son’s first marriage failed. My MIL was a vile human.!

Have a baby shower and then let her be miserable. It’s for the baby not for her.

Have your baby shower.

Do not let your mother-in-law manipulate or shame you out of your celebration on your new family addition. This is for more than just boasting her ego and giving her a up on winning another event cancellation. Enjoy your life and if she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to attend.

I think when it is your first baby with your husband now, that you should have a baby shower if someone wants to give you one.

Nothing you do will please her so just do you and do what makes you happy she probably just doesn’t want to like you some toxic people are just like that and hell since she thinks they are for broke people then have your baby shower and don’t invite the hag… baby showers are about having family and friends come together and celebrate you and your baby fuck all that other shit

Have one and don’t invite her!!

First off. Husband needs to tell his mom to go f herself and seriously remove her from your lives until she’s not a toxic terrible person and to apologize to you for saying that.

Second, baby showers are a celebration. It’s your first one as a couple id do it.

Have one just don’t invite her. Baby showers are a celebration. She can keep her Negative Nancy self at home while y’all celebrate the new baby. Every baby deserves a celebration.

Baby showers are meant to help celebrate a mother and bringing a new life into the world. Just tell you hubby she doesn’t have to be involved with it. Baby stuff is expensive I’d like to hear anyone say it’s not. It’s a celebration not for broke people. Honestly wtf

Have your baby shower & don’t invite her. And if she says anything just tell her, “hey, I thought it was beneath you… Ya know, not being broke and all?!!” :woman_shrugging:t3:

I would say have your shower. Baby items are definitely not cheap. She probably was told that years ago by her mom or MIL causing her to feel that way. Make sure she is invited but told to watch her mouth and attitude. Have fun and Congratulations on your new baby!!

Apparently she already hates you so why not do something for yourself so that you don’t have to struggle to get the items that are so expensive now she really doesn’t have to come and I’d let her know you don’t expect anything from her

Offend the mother. Who gives a shit? Babies are damn expensive. Have the baby shower. It’s your life. Don’t let her run things before the baby even gets here.

F*?k your mother-in-law.

It’s your and your husbands baby not hers. Set boundaries now or it’s only going to get worse.
Hell if you haven’t told anyone the gender yet (if you are finding out), do a gender reveal too lol.

But the fact you want one, and your husband wants you to have one (cos it’ll make you happy) and even sister-in-law wants you to have one, have it. And lay down rules now that if Grandma to be in any way shape or form reacts negatively at the shower (if you invite her) that she will be asked to leave immediately.

And make sure she understands that if she makes your life in any way shape or form toxic or tries to manipulate in any way she’ll be put on a time out from visiting and then if she continues after said time out, then it will be a more permanent thing.

Amen…
It’s time for Mom to step out of her sons life. He has his own family now.
Especially on matters that are between a husband and wife.
Your Mother - law needs to either get a job or volunteer her time where it’s needed. She needs to move on with her own life and stay out of yours.

Meh- :woman_shrugging:t2:…. baby showers are whatever, am ok with the party if u want one, I guess but when u send out “this is my registry @ xoxo expensive store” and everything is top notch/ brand name— then ama go ahead and nope the fuck right out, :grin::grin::grin:… I was thrown a baby shower and a welcome baby party- I didn’t ask for either one of them— appreciated everything because I know it was given out of love not because I forced it upon someone… if someone throws one for u, accept it, be grateful…. If you throw one for urself- be happy if people go and be happy if they gifted you something that wasn’t on some stupid registry…

You do you!! Other peoples opinion of you or what your doing are none of your business. If you want to celebrate this pregnancy by having a baby shower… have the baby shower.

Have a baby shower that’s bs no worries

so what? No one asked her

I would let your friend throw one you and just invite your closest friends and your family and leave MIL out of it!

F. Her. Have one, I love baby showers, I see it as welcoming and celebrating the baby into this world with gifts for the baby and parents.

My father in law is the same except I’m not having his sons child any time soon and he’s also not working and taking from other people so that just makes him a nasty hypocrite. But he also thinks my boyfriend is only “letting me” not work because love is “blinding” and he can’t see that I’m “taking advantage” of him. Lol I’ve learned if anyone has anything worth hearing about your family, in any family, it’s NOT your in laws (except maybe your SIL bc my SIL is awesome too) because they have even less of a clue what to do with their own lives than they do about yours and that’s minuscule. Literally, have the baby shower, invite everyone including her, she comes if she comes, it’s not your priority or business if she doesn’t :woman_shrugging:t3: it’s not even something that should be addressed, detach yourself from her emotionally, and let her do what she will unless it’s effecting you. Don’t give her your time or attention, just do your thing and worry about the people who care about you and the baby.

Baby showers should be for first babies only. Everything after that can be hand me downs. It’s greedy to have multiple baby showers.

First - Other peoples bad behavior is a reflection of their own issues. It’s not about you.

Second - A baby shower is an opportunity for friends and family to be a part of this exciting time for your family. Have the party! You wouldn’t be thinking twice about it if someone hadn’t said something negative.

Third - Your relationship with your MIL is a choice. If it’s important to you to try to improve it, ask her if you two can meet privately. Tell her you want a better relationship with her and ask her if she is willing to work on improving it with you. Only if she makes a commitment to be open can you move forward with your concerns. If she’s not, then don’t pursue it. It’s not worth it. And you don’t have to include her in your circle of concern. Most likely though she will want to make it better. Good relationships take work and effort on both sides. Some of the best relationships I’ve got have gone through challenges.

She’s going to find reasons to not like you, I’m guessing it’s that you married her baby. Find a creative way to REALLY “offend” her, then have your shower. Let her know that breathing air is free for poor people, and watch the lack of facial and diaphragm control for just a few seconds… Seriously - it’s your relationship and your business, not her’s. Piss her off enough until she has to sit in her own stew and figure out if being nice and seeing her grandkids is worth more than her elitism.

You have that baby shower! Let your guests know you just want them there to celebrate. If they bring a gift, they bring a gift. Who ever is throwing you the shower, have them contact your mil. The message should be, I know you disapprove of a shower in celebration of your grandchild but I didn’t want to be rude by not extending an invitation; I completely understand if you decline’

Ur baby, ur decision. If mil doesn’t like it, she doesn’t need to go to it or even be invited. I’ve had a baby shower for all three of my kids (two by ex-husband, one by husband). It’s a celebration of the new baby.

Sounds like the old lady has a hair across her butt for some reason. Have the shower. EVERY BODY LOVES A BABY SHOWER!! Laugh, play games and let the old broad sit in the corner. ( Cuz ya GOT to invite her). I gave one years ago and the men were invited. They actually enjoyed it. Besides there was. FOOD! Enjoy every bit of this time you have and don’t let ANYONE steal your joy! I’m 75. Trust me; I’m old and wise😁

Baby shower are for anyone having a baby. Rich and famous have showers too.

I see it as same as birthday parties, anniversaries. It’s celebrating

Do what will make you happy. What she is saying is not true!
You will regret not doing it because I her. If it’s in your heart, go for it❤️
Baby showers and are a way of celebrating your beautiful baby on the way!:rose:

Do what you think is right by you not by others… Who care what people think of you… You are your own believer… If it makes you feel good do it :heavy_heart_exclamation:

That’s a really bi$&hy thing to say in my opinion. Screw her thoughts everyone needs things especially for their first. And you shouldn’t have to buy it all yourself. Tell her she can’t come

Its traditional most new parents always have baby shower … ur mother in-law needs to mind her business

There’s no question here!!! This baby should be celebrated. Let your MIL feel how she wants too but don’t let the way she thinks bother you. Can’t be a people pleaser or you will hold so much stuff inside that when you do finally reach that point it’s going to be bad. Celebrate with the rest of your family and friends.
