My mother in law lived too far away to attend such. So she wasn’t able to come. Pray for her to realize this will be her grand child and she should appreciate the opportunity to welcome your grandchild into your family. Sorry she sees it that way. Remind her that’s your child with her son and his first with you. And keep praying that God will see through this joyous celebration.
A baby shower is a celebration, first and foremost! People will WANT to give you gifts and play the fun games and all of that! AND your husband deserves to experience it since this is his first child. Sounds like your MIL is a mean, old bitch. 
DO A BABY SHOWER if that’s what U want. You are two young to care about what other people think. Have a happy life don’t worry about other people! Good Luck

A baby shower is a time for everyone that loves you and supports you to come together and celebrate you and tour husbands journey of bringing a little one into the world! So for her to say that was so wrong maybe that’s how she was raised and her thoughts on it. Don’t let someone’s negative kill joy from something so positive! Have your baby shower and enjoy the celebration of people there to support you and your new family

Throw an awesome babyshower. If mother in law can’t keep nasty comments to herself she uninvited herself and the birth and quite frankly can keep her toxic attitude away from you and that innocent baby. If Dad doesn’t like it then he needs to handle his mother and set her straight. You and baby come first. If you don’t then he is dead weight too. Period.

Look you’re going to have those types of mother-in-laws who love you and those who hate you, they will not change the way they feel about you. This one seems to have her mind made up already about you, so have the shower and do not worry about what your MIL says, she’s going to dislike anything you do anyways. You just can’t please everyone, so worry about yourself and less about her, because if she sees that you give in to what she says now she’s going to keep doing it.

Have the baby shower. The shower is a celebration for you and the new baby. Even though mother-in-law is a “party pooper”, invite her, so she won’t have something else to complain about. You have fun and enjoy all your goodies! 
Mother in law obviously has some issues. I would have the baby shower. It is a celebration of the life you are about to bring into this world. I would ask the mother in law to bring food in lieu of a gift if she wants to be there. And I would definitely try to limit your children’s exposure to such a toxic individual in the future.
Have a shower, if she is a good person she will get over it. Concentrate on the people who love you and care about you and your sweet little family.
Have a baby shower. Mil can shove it
Sounds like whatever you do you will NEVER be able to make this woman happy. Have your shower and enjoy your pregnancy. Sounds to me like she has issues. God Bless
Every mother to be deserves a baby shower. It doesn’t matter your social standing. Have one and enjoy.
Just simply stand by what it is you want, a baby shower can be a wonderful time to share the joy of an upcoming new person in your life with friends and family, and bringing a gift is optional always. It’s mostly about just spending time with each other.
Don’t invite her when you have the baby shower… Invite your husband invite the other family and leave her little butt at home…
Have the baby shower anyways. Life is short.
Have the shower. Don’t invite her… Some MIL’s are gonna hate no matter what you do. She’s sadly probably one of them…. Just be pleasant to her when you have to be, but don’t change your mind on a baby shower based on the opinion of someone who will most likely say this about EVERYTHING you do.
Also, baby showers are for broke people? I beg to differ! Decorations, food, cake, sometimes a venue… Can end up costing more than just buying everything for baby yourself.

Don’t listen to MIL or other naysayers about baby showers. Every baby and momma deserve to be celebrated and pampered with love, you do you. I always preferred very small gatherings of just a small circle of friends/family because I have bad social anxiety. Would have loved those Drive-thru pandemic style baby showers 
. Anyhow, party on even if your first with current partner or your 3rd. Doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about what other people say.

Girl have a baby shower. Baby shower is for baby. If someone wants to throw u one let them. It’s not for broke people. It’s for people who love u and baby to celebrate
Usually a baby shower is for the first baby because most of the people invited cannot afford to gift each baby after that one. But if you want to have another one, do it. Just invite friends you didn’t invite before.
Have a meet and greet
If I told Any of my grown up children that and my beautiful daughter in law they would laugh at me while I was laughing at the ridiculous statement I had made . I have never ever heard of baby showers being for people who are broke and have no money. That is just silly . Any celebrations welcoming a new baby on the way are precious and to me sacred because new life is sacred . Do what you want but if you want to keep pleasing your mother in law it’s going to be a very long road with a lot of stress . Who cares what she thinks ? This is between your husband and yourself no one else’s business and tell your mother in law to keep her opposing ideas to herself

Well just know that’s the first sign of your mother-in-law not ever gonna like what you do so don’t worry about what she likes it’s not about her it’s about you and your baby and your husband and offend her offend her about what she’s offending you! You better nip that right in the butt right now or your life’s gonna be miserable for the next 18 years
Have a shower. It’s not her kid. Well it’s her grandchild but she didn’t give birth to the kid.
Baby showers are a celebration of the little one coming. I would have one and I would invite her to come. Always be gracious and you will never have any regrets. Enjoy all your friends who come and have a good time. Her attitude is her problem. Maybe she will have a great time and see why you wanted to celebrate with your friends!

I hope to see shower pics posted soon. Im going to remember your post. And sweet baby pics to. God bless you and your family.
That it is,a Celebration.If you don’t want to celebrate don’t go.You should be happy for that person.
Tell hubs that you’ll have a baby shower because it will make you happy, and since MIL is offended by baby showers she won’t be invited so she doesn’t have a reason to be offended, and if she gets offended anyways, then that’s on her because you are celebrating your baby on the way.

if your MIL, doesn’t love or like you, she never will, whether you have the baby shower or not! And you will probably find that no matter what you do she will not be happy with you. if you were working, you would be neglecting your children. love your husband, be polite and let her criticism run off your back like water off a duck’s back. just be the woman your husband fell in love with and try not to complain about his DARLING MOTHER. LOVE HER IN SPITE OF HERSELF, that’s the best revenge.

Have the baby shower then tell her to stay home
Perhaps you should ask your Mother in Law to purchase a Bath Tub INSTEAD ! 
One. Do YOU actually like her?
Two. If she already doesn’t like you, you have nothing to lose.
Three. If you want the shower but want to placate her at the same time, get someone who you could "Never refuse the honor of there attention " to throw it for you. Someone that likes you but that your mother in law either respects or would expect you to show deference to…
Either way, it is your choice. Not hers. There are tons of rich and/or famous people who have baby showers.
She is not correct.
If she hates you, it will not change sooner. Do it anyway.
Lady do you don’t let anyone else spoil your fun.
Sounds like the mother-in-law doesn’t want the baby shower because she is the one whose broke.
Screw her, have a baby shower, it’s not for broke people. It’s to celebrate your baby. I know plenty of people, who could afford their own baby items, that have had a shower for every child they have. It’s not about your mil. It’s about you and your baby
Are you throwing it for yourself or is someone else doing it? I don’t see a problem if someone else is doing it especially if it’s held after the baby arrives and you’ve already bought all the basics.
 have the baby shower don’t invite mother-in-law she asked why you didn’t invite her tell her it’s because you heard that she didn’t like baby showers
Baby showers are full of love and joy
You will regret it if you don’t have one.
Remember don’t listen to what others say you have a loving husband and family you deserve he deserves the gifts as your bringing one into this world.
Fuck what his mum says sounds like a stuck up bitch. No offence. But enjoy your baby shower don’t let her drag you down girl xo

Are you serious??? Sounds like she is to broke to buy you a gift. DON’T listen to her!!! Have your shower and be happy. Don’t let her come!
When you send out invitations say “we would like you to share in our blessed event” don’t call it a baby shower invite them for a gathering to share in the news of a blessed addition to the family. Most people will bring gifts. Are birthdays for broke people too? Don’t worry about what she thinks. Just know she said it. You can always have a conversation o after and say casually gee I hope people don’t think we invited them over because we are broke, I just want my family and friends to celebrate with us. Just make sure she doesn’t need to bring anything.
I can see its important to you that you are inclusive, hence the statement made by your MIL is disappointing and prickly. Be inclusive but with boundaries. Her statement is an opinion of her experience - it doesn’t mean its right for you. Do what makes you happy, fulfilled and satisfied. Honour and respect yourself first. You have your husband’s support, that is precious and priceless. Trust and love in yourself. And by having the baby shower, you are teaching your baby to trust and love in her/himself. All the best
