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
Have a shower it’s none of her business. Love your own life. I’m sure she does what she wants
Have the shower. It’s to honor the upcoming birth of your baby.
Tell the MIL to kiss it!!
It’s not her baby, it’s yours and your husband’s. Have one and don’t invite her. I hate nasty people
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!!!
no they are not my niece has money 2 kids and had 2 baby showers, Its a celebration for the child that is coming it
s not about money at all
Have the baby shower it’s to celebrate a new life
Send her invite with “not broke, just wish to celebrate with you all”
Have the shower, Don’t invite her
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.
For someone who personally who didn’t have the time for a baby shower (heavily pregnant aworking retail) I couldn’t plan my own so i tried having a friend plan it that didn’t fall through
You tell her baby showers are to SHOWER THE BABY WITH GIFTS IT IS TO WELCOME A NEW LIFE INTO THE WORLD
Mother n law sounds like a karen…she the broke one n prob just dont want to buy anything
Have the shower! I had two because my third child was later in life and I had nothing for him. We included everyone, men, women and children. Who cares what she thinks. Don’t invite her!
Her opinion is irrelevant. You do you!
Have a baby shower. You want the memories, every baby deserves to be celebrated, your mother in law doesn’t have to come…it’s about you and the precious baby not her!!
it is your life not your inlaws she must be a very unhappy person
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.
Well said Jen. I agree with you.
WOW! Baby showers are not for broke people lol Sounds to me like she’s a little jelly bean. Baby showers are welcoming new baby into the world. People shower baby with gifts & love. Maybe your mil is the broke one lol Who cares what she says! Let your sister in law throw you a baby shower. If your mil doesn’t like it, well to bad for her. This isn’t about her. She can stay home! Have the baby shower & enjoy yourself!
Do what makes you happy. Your mother’s in law opinions is just that. Her opinion. When she gets pregnant she can chose not to have a baby shower.
If she doesn’t like you. Not having a baby shower is not going make her like you.
Just tell her to kiss where the sun doesn’t shine. It’s not for her anyway.
Sounds to me if your mother n law is just cheap. It’s for a celebration. Throw it and don’t invite her.
Ignore MIL. I’ve never cared what in laws thought about me so her thoughts won’t bother me. I was doing as I want.
Keep being you do it.
have a baby shower she is just being jealous lol that’s why she probably said they are for broke people
Have the baby shower
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.
it does not matter how many childern you have there are always things you need with each one
Have a babyshower…invite them (mil) tell her cash would be welcomed
and leave his mother off the list…'couples only"…
Have a baby shower. Your MIL is wrong Baby showers are a celebration with friends and family of the baby.
Then have your broke ass a baby shower!! I was told baby showers are only for your first baby. I still had baby showers for all four of mine!!
Have it and don’t invite her .simple as that
Have baby shower invite mom in law smile enjoy it let mom in law be she’s jealous period but advice from a granny smile hug your hubby be happy
Have a baby shower – it’s to celebrate your having a baby and people who want to will gift your baby with presents anyway so gather together and celebrate your baby and be happy.
Who cares what a mother in law thinks? Have a baby shower
Don’t invite her they are.not like that it’s for friends and family together and celebrate the birth of a child
Do what you want. It’s not her baby. It’s not her life. Just don’t invite her.
Rich or poor, someone should give you a baby shower! That was mean!
Have ur baby shower and be happy about it.
Have the baby shower
Have the baby shower
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!
Have a shower and ignore her disgusting behavior
Have the party and don’t invite her
If you always do everything to please your mother in law & let her have that kind of control over your life this marriage is doomed.
Dont invite the c#$* simple
I agree with crystal
Have your baby shower tell MIL to go fuck her self and dont invite her
Have the baby shower, invite the mother-in-law. Don’t call it a baby shower, call it a Celebration of Birth and if questioned, say it is celebrating the blessing of life that has been bestowed upon your husband and you.
Have the baby shower , don’t worry about your mother/in/ law , this is about your first child and you and baby should come first
Baby showers are not for broke people. Baby showers are to share in celebration the excitement for the new life coming to the family.
Have your baby shower
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.
Have the shower and don’t let that evil woman in your child’s life. She’s crazy.
Have the shower but dnt invite her…tell her… hey I’m having a shower t celebrate our new baby but I heard you thought they were distasteful so I thought I’d spare u the trouble.lol
Have your baby shower!
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.
Call it a baby sprinkle lol not a shower
Have you baby shower. invite her but pay her no attention. I’d be surprised if she buys you anything. Her opinion matters this much enjoy your day
Have your baby shower. Who cares what she thinks.
Girl… If she don’t like you, she’s not gonna like you no matter what you do. Do you and worry less about her.
Do the baby shower, have fun and enjoy yourself… And f what anyone else thinks!! They don’t like the idea… Then don’t come
Have the baby shower it’s fun and that way family and friends getting o see baby if you don’t once baby arrives plus who doesn’t love to help.a new mom out n spoil her and baby has nothing to do with someone’s financial situation
Have a baby shower I’m sorry no matter what you do she will probably always be them same to you. I have an awful mother n law never liked me and I’ve been with me man for 22 years…
Absolutely have the baby shower…your true friends will want to share the joy and fun with you…
Have the shower and be happy! Don’t be a miserable fuddy duddy
Have your baby shower your life enjoy
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
Let your sister in law throw the shower. She can invite her mom or not.

Definitely have the shower! Should be no question! Her problem.
Have that baby shower you want…let your mother-in-law stay home
Enjoy every moment you can. Life is for living. Congratulations on you new addition.
Stuff dealing with that sort of energy. Have the shower and offend her all you like.
Sister-in-law… Girl… Not everything your Mama says needs to be repeated in front of your brothers wife Why don’t people ever have the EQ to be selective in their conversations?
I would do what I want to do regardless of what anyones Mom says (whether my own or my husband’s). We cannot live our lives being held captive by the thoughts & opinions of other people.
Have the baby shower and dont worry about the rest! People like to speak on things they know nothing about.
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.
Have the baby shower…your MIL is WRONG!!!
Have it it’s not about your MIL it’s about bubs
