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

She is going to hate you regardless. Some people just hate others and that’s their problem not yours. Baby showers are done by the rich and the poor. Let her hate all day long.

The Kardashians are loaded and still had baby showers so she isn’t quite right with her logic. You deserve to celebrate your new baby. I wish I got to have baby showers with my 2 youngest.

Maybe she never had one and is jealous. But what I came to realize on my first child is do everything you want or you’ll regret it. Everyone’s always gonna have opinions you have to give everything a grain of salt

Have your baby shower.

Have the baby shower anyway. It isnt just for poor people. It is a party to celebrate the new baby. Even movie stars have them. She just isn’t happy about the new baby and that means she doesn’t have to come. My MIL is a nightmare as well.

MIL sounds delusional……

your mother in law can shove it. baby showers are for whoever the hell wants to have one.

Honey my husband’s mother HATES me but I don’t give f&@#$ and it’s YOUR baby NOT hers so have a baby shower and celebrate the new beautiful life you are bringing into the world

That’d be more reason for me to have one! It’s not about her… Do what makes you happy! A baby shower should be enjoyable and bring people together. I wouldn’t even invite her :woman_shrugging:t4: You don’t need that negativity on what’s supposed to be a happy day. Celebrate the baby with loved ones who would be happy to be there for y’all!

Do it. U can’t let your opinionated MIL run your life. Your sister in law is spot on do it

It may be an issue of nationality-or old school thinking. Just try as hard as it may be to “overlook it”, trust lol

U have ur baby shower lv,no different than wedding gifts,tell her to butt out

Not having a baby shower is not going to make her like you. You married her son not her. Have your baby shower, and be happy.

Baby showers are a celebration of new life and a new beginning as a family! Check her and ask her how you should celebrate this special time in her son’s and your life. She is something else :sweat_smile:

Have the baby shower. Don’t let any body rule your life er what they think of you. Mother in law shouldn’t be talking about u nd the person that told u causing drama

Girl stop. Let her project her own insecurities and inadequacy somewhere else. A baby shower is meant to celebrate the coming birth of a child not because you’re poor lol. She’s looking for reasons to not like you and at this point no matter what happens she’ll just find something else to complain about.

Baby showers are for celebrating this new life that will be coming to the family. Some people just decide to bring gifts, some don’t. Have a dang baby shower. I have 3 kids and am all done having to buy all the cute baby stuff so when I have a baby shower to go to I enjoy being able to bring a gift and pick out cute little baby items and clothes.

I can’t stand them but the freakin kardashines had baby showers which pictures all online along with many many other celebrities who are far from “poor” lol lady sounds crazy and just jealous the attention won’t be on herself.

A baby shower is a chance to celebrate the coming of a new baby, a chance for family and friends to celebrate Mama and baby and doesn’t always mean people need to bring gifts, sometimes it’s a simple lunch or party.

Sounds like MIL May be jealous that the attention won’t be on her?

Fine. Give her the list of everything you need and let her buy it. Problem solved.

Um he’s not in a marital relationship with his mother. She has no say so in anything. It’s she that needs to adapt, you do not need to be making changes to your life and wants because she doesn’t approve. That’s her problem not yours. Invite her, She doesn’t have to go. Keep your head high.

Wow what a selfish bitch

I understand your husband doesn’t want to upset his mother, but he should be supporting you in this. Do what you want. Have a great time planning with your sister in law! If the mother in law tries to ruin it for you, then you don’t invite her. Be as polite and kind as possible. But always STAND you ground because once a mother in law thinks she has a foot hold on decision making it will get worse.

Have you a baby shower, and if people don’t like it oh well, don’t allow them to rob you of your happiness

Has she not seen the huge baby showers that even famous people with millions throw lol ??? She’s ridiculous. Throw a shower, invite her and let her see how freaking happy you are but also if it was me I’d be pulling her aside to let her know that you know what she said and how it made you feel :woman_shrugging:t3: I’m not sure who the hell these mother in laws think they are lol why are they always so mean :weary:

Has she never watched a movie, tv show or read a magazine? No matter what someones economic status may be a babyshower is a celebration. What a sad way to live, birthdays are the equivilent. You could juat celebrate and donate the gifts to a family who is as fortunate??

Have the shower! Who cares what she thinks!:heart:

Baby showers to me is just a pre birthday party it’s to celebrate the arrival and conceivment of the baby!! But it does definitely help out. My boyfriends brother and sis in law had a baby shower not to long ago and they both have a great amount of money due to they’re occupation. It’s a celebration of the baby and it’s always fun to see what creative stuff people get for the baby. Baby showers are fun and it’s a great thing to capture to show the child when they’re old who was there out of excitement for a new life to be brought into this world.

Who cares what his mother says , if u start catering to her now it will just get worse and worse ! Then pretty soon before u know it u will have no voice in any part of your lives ! Have the baby shower and let her learn to live with your choices ! I see rich people who have it all having baby showers ! It’s to show u and the baby love , not her ! So I say do it

Have the baby shower and if you know she already doesn’t like you give her more reasons to not like you and enjoy it! :smirk:

Do it anyways tell her to mind her business

Ignore the MIL! Have a baby shower!

What a witch. Do it anyway. Likely she won’t like you anymore if you don’t have one so why compromise your happiness I had a nasty mother in- law and they don’t change so why let her make decisions for you.

Don’t invite your Mother in law. Negative energy.

Tell her to mind her own d*** business and celebrate that baby and DO NOT INVITE HER!!!

Um. Screw her. Have your baby shower!

girl she shouldn’t have even told you that. have your baby shower and try not to concern yourself with what people think

Have the baby shower. Your new baby deserves to be celebrated, your mother in law sounds like a bitter jealous old women.

It has nothing to do with being poor, rich people have a baby showers all the time. People who have everything they need have diaper showers or book showers. Its about celebrating a life that’s about to be born, showering the mom and baby with love :heart:

If MIL dont want to support it, she dont have to come, that’s her choice but it dosnt mean you should cancel and take the opportunity away from everyone else that wants to shower you with love and gifts.

Have that baby shower girl! Be you, live your life, be happy! You are creating a miracle inside of you there is so much to be celebrated! What terrible things to say about you!

I hope she gets to experience the joy of being a grandma and doesn’t ruin for herself. Congratulations to you on this next chapter with your family :heart:

Have that shower Mama!! You deserve it, your baby deserves it ! Baby showers are to shower the Mom and baby with love and all the items they’re going to need. They’re for ALL families not just “broke” families. If she needs references, tell her to browse through all the elaborate showers on Instagram. Now tell me those people are broke . :smirk:
Have it, don’t invite her, and enjoy!!!

Have the baby shower. It’s not for her.

My husband and I are well off and we had a baby shower.Your mother-in-law sounds like a idiot and a jealous one at that. Just ignore her and live your life and be happy. If she doesn’t want to be a part of it that’s on her. I wish you and your husband the best! Congrats on your new baby to come. 

Baby showers are basically welcoming a beautiful baby. It’s yours and your husbands baby. I understand his point but at the same time your his wife and he needs to stand up for you. Rich celebrities have baby showers.

Have the baby shower :woman_shrugging: she can go shove her opinion

Go ahead with the baby shower, its not about you or your MIL its about the baby, i didnt have one so i could avoid family drama but i really wish i had done a baby shower, if you dont have it, you may regret it later

Have the baby shower

that is definitely not true, I may not be rich, but we ain’t broke either. I got majority of our baby stuff and still held a baby shower, I got a little bit of clothes, a few blankets, lots of diapers and wipes and even money/gift cards for future use (I put it in a safe spot for baby)

Have the baby shower and just accept that you have a hateful mil and she will be hateful either way.

Have the shower. Dont invite her.

Have your baby shower.
Her opinion is just that. An opinion.

EVERY baby should be celebrated, mother in law is wrong. You will regret not having one down the road

It’s your baby not you mil’s. You do what you want and don’t care what she thinks. She sounds like a snob! They aren’t for broke people they are for celebrating the new life you are bringing into this world.

Girl, have your baby shower, enjoy it, and forget what the mother-in-law says. People are always going to have something negative to say about every aspect of your life and your decisions. What do you do with that? Tell yourself it’s your life and don’t let anyone else run it or ruin it for you. Most bitter people have their own personal issues that they can’t cope with, so they attack others and steal their joy. Keep your joy and do what you want. Not everyone is going to like you, and that is totally okay…as long as you like you. :heart:

Have the baby shower. She’s gonna have her opinions regardless. So do what makes you happy. Baby showers aren’t for broke people lol. Rich people have them all the time. It’s to celebrate you and your baby. And a word of advice, don’t spend your energy worrying abou4 whether or not your MIL likes you. And don’t do things just to try and get her to. It literally does not matter. Her own daughter even knows she’s being ridiculous. And don’t invite her to the shower if she’s gonna act like this.

Don’t invite her. Period.

Why do y’all care so much about what your MIL has to say about your own family?!

I get respecting her, but damn, she isn’t god and the say all for what you decide to do. Who cares if she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to go!

Enjoy your shower! They are a celebration of your baby.

Omg I can’t believe she said that to you. Girl you go ahead and have a big baby shower and leave the MIL out.

Girl you have that baby shower and don’t worry about what she has to say. If she starts drama at the shower have her escorted out, or just don’t invite her to begin with.

Have baby shower celebrating you and your husband’s baby.
