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

my mother told me relatives should never give showers because it is like begging…you should only have a baby shower for the first child and save the baby gifts for the other children to come…i think some of the invitations to today’s showers are rude…they ask for the moon …

Tf toxic. Maybe when houses and literally being alive was cheaper, it probably wasn’t necessary. Don’t let her shame you for wanting a head start celebration.

She is jealous of you. Ignore her.

Have the shower & let her know she’s welcome to come & if she doesn’t, it’s on her not you.

I would throw an extravagant baby shower and not invite neither of them and put them on a strict no invitation list since they are above everybody else to attend such peasant activities :joy::woman_facepalming:t4::rofl:

Have a shower it’s none of her business. Love your own life. I’m sure she does what she wants

Do whatever you want honey don’t listen to anybody when it comes to your body your baby your husband your marriage unless they’re paying your bills they don’t have a say they’re just in-law have your baby shower she wants to come she can come if you don’t oh well and if she hates you over something so petty then she probably isn’t worth having around anyway that’s just my opinion I cannot stand snooty ass people with their nose in the air texting her better than everyone else

Do a small one with your closest friends

Have a baby shower it’s not for her if she don’t like you that will give her more to hate you for tell her feelings are mutual

Have a baby shower and don’t invite her… you’re entitled to a baby shower. It’s to celebrate baby nothing to do with being broke. What an ignorant rude woman!! Don’t let her take that experience away from you!!!

I feel every baby deserves new things. I had 3 babies 3 showers. Not ilaberate, just stuff u need for new babies. Distant Relatives are are fine, but not close relatives on giving showers.

She needs to act like a grandma instead of a rude obnoxious ass!

Have a baby shower. Y’all care way to much about what people think… she does not sign yalls checks, pay y’all’s bills or take care of y’all’s kids. She’s nobody but his mother.

My mother in law said she didn’t believe in baby showers and didn’t come to mine along with my sister in laws, but she sure seemed to have no problem going to everyone else’s who was having a baby in the family! It really ticked me off! Don’t let her ruin it for you and enjoy it because it’s once in a life time. It’s tradition not hand outs for broke people. Enjoy!

It’s not for poor people it’s to celebrate the birth of your child. Don’t let anyone take that from you.

I think you should let your sister in law throw a baby shower for you. It’s not for people who are broke, it’s so your family and friends can celebrate the upcoming birth of your baby, it’s a way of showing how much they care about you and your baby and your husband. It’s a joyous occasion so just enjoy your self and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. If they don’t like the idea then they don’t have to go to the party but no matter what you do or don’t do, no mother ever thinks their daughter in law is ever good enough for their son. If it’s not a baby shower it will be something else.

Have a baby shower. It’s been years since you had a baby and I’m sure you need things. They were never intended for poor people only. I had 2 children from a previous marriage. My 3rd baby was 8 years after my second. What a fun time we all had.

Baby showers are to welcome a new baby in to the world, a happy thing! You have your baby shower! Invite everyone you want to come, and I’d even invite the mil. BUT! I would have someone tell her that she is to be nice to you when she comes, and if she doesn’t want to come, that’s perfectly fine, she doesn’t have to and she won’t be missed! Don’t let that woman take away something happy in your life! It’s a celebration!

As someone who has banned her toxic as fuck MIL from ever seeing her granddaughter, fuck that bitch. No matter how much people pleasing you try to do with her, it’ll never be good enough. Set boundaries and do your own damn thing. She doesn’t understand how hard it is in you? Then she’s an asshole for not being sympathetic. As a FTM we’re expected to be able to do everything with little to no help. She’s making you feel small, fuck her.

Have it and don’t invite her since she doesnt like giving to charity. :person_shrugging:

This is your first child with your partner and whether his mommy likes it or not you, him and the baby deserve a baby shower - and what a joke she is to say something so cruel and mean towards you and her own son - she is jealous of the relationship you have with her son - let your sister-in-law give that baby shower and mommy dearest will get over herself if it upsets her to awfully much - she needs to cut the umbilical cord and let her grown children be adults now that this particular one is having a baby of his own. Enjoy your baby shower sweetie - the baby deserves that extra attention for sure!

His mother getting offended is taking the joy out of what would be a really special day celebrating your new bundle. Honestly she sounds incredibly stuck up having that kind of mindset. Every child deserves to be celebrated, I’ve always told my guests gifts are optional. If she’s going to be rude and inconsiderate of both of your feelings she doesn’t have to attend the shower. Buying things for a new baby doesn’t mean the parents are broke.

Tell MIL to kiss it and have one anyways. It may have TRADITIONALLY been a form of crowdfunding as it were, but it has since become less about that and the gifts (unless someone IS TRULY struggling for whatever reason) and more about celebrating the arrival of yet another person to love and cherish and a new milestone in the parents lives and gifts are less about what is actually NEEDED (registries are used more for ideas or for finding out what things are liked and disliked than out of need) and more about helping to greet the new life into the world.

It’s to celebrate your baby the shower gifts are for the baby as well and not to mention it helps you get what you need for baby so you can have extra diapers and baby wash and things like that. It’s no different than celebrating a birthday it’s just as special. Even people who have a lot of money have baby shower as well it has nothing to do with your financial status and really how much money you make and your financial things are between you and your husband. Or the people that do your taxes for you if you don’t do them yourself. Ignore her and tell her even celebrities have baby showers if she doesn’t like the idea well to bad she isn’t your keeper and she has no say in it. You and your hubby made that baby celebrate the baby because your bundle of joy is a blessing in itself. And congratulations to you and hubby your doing great and a good momma. I’m proud of you and excited for you.

I have 2 kids from a previous marriage that are 12-14 and I remarried and had a baby in October which was my husbands first so we had a shower ! I only invited a few of my friends since she was my third but we invited all my husbands friends and family

Be gracious and have the shower your sister-in-law wants to give you and your husband

I disagree with the MIL saying that. Time have changed so much and it varies how many baby showers couples have depending on their social circle. Personally, I had 2 showers when I had my children years ago. My first was a boy and 2nd was a girl, so we had the bigger items, but everything else was all boy, nothing gender neutral. I am on the fence about showers for couples who have more than a couple kids, if a couple has 4 or 5 already and are still having kids, I personally would not attend a shower in that case. Bottom line, it’s up to the person wanting to give the shower and up to the couple if they want a shower.
