A baby shower isn’t to just get stuff 
and you don’t just have a baby shower cause you’re broke. I’d tell her exactly where she could go with that attitude. Baby showers are to celebrate the baby coming into this world. It doesn’t matter how much money you have or don’t have babies are expensive little boogers no matter which way you cut it. Other family and friends actually want to bring gifts for the baby. Tell her she can stay home if she doesn’t wanna be a part of it

I never had one for my older girls but for my last born I did. It isn’t for broke people. If your hubby wants to do what makes YOU happy then you have that baby shower. It’s to celebrate your new baby. If MIL is too dense to understand that then that’s one less invite you need to give out.

Just have a baby party, register for gifts in case people want to bring them but make it optional. Showers are NOT just for broke people (even rich celebrities have them). But if it helps smooth over things with MIL a Welcome Baby party is a reasonable compromise.

If your mother in law “hates” you, having the baby shower isn’t going to change that.
Also baby showers are a celebration of a new life coming into this world, not for “broke” people.

Have the baby shower. She’s not going to do anything except not like you which apparently she doesn’t anyway. It’s possible that’s she’s jealous because she never had a baby shower. You do what you want. Life is to short to worry about other people. Apparently your sister in law doesn’t care what her mother says if she wants to have it anyway

Screw her! Have the shower. Trust me on this if you start caring what she has to say now…it will last your whole life. Set boundaries with her now.
Have the baby shower! I’m glad I had one had a nice meal sat with everyone who cares about us and it was fun, you play games like guess the baby food etc it’s not just about the gifts it’s about getting exited for bringing a new life to the world! His mum sounds like a party pooper. If she doesn’t want to come along then let her.
Tell Mommy in law to butt out…
its your baby so have a baby shower if u want and enjoy your bundle of joy… Congratulations
I had a baby shower with each of my pregnancies… And I had all girls. I made sure to tell people gifts were not needed, we just wanted to celebrate the newest family member. If she doesn’t like baby showers, she doesn’t have to go. But that’s just my opinion.
You have one n who cares what your in law says.
Showers are a way of celebrating life’s occasions. Each baby deserves their own day whether yet born or not if my opinion. BTW, Congrats!

Go ahead have a baby shower . That’s her way of thinking.
Your MIL already has an opinion of you… Nothing will change it because she is probably set in her ways. Stop trying to live by other people’s rules and throw the party. It isn’t about weather you are broke or not, it’s about showing support for a new addition to the family. If you’ve lived any kind of life to this point you already know… People will judge you, people will dislike you. That doesn’t mean you have to be miserable to please them.

Have the baby shower and not invite her. Your husband should also have a talk with it’s his mom and not allow her to talk bad about you. He should be defending you. You two are a team. Good luck! I hope you enjoy your baby shower that you deserve.

The three wise men came from afar to honor the baby Jesus. And they brought exotic gifts that we remember today. Today it is not about you, your husband or your Mother-in-law. It is about your friends and family coming together to gift the baby and honor the Mother in the greatest gift a woman can gift to the world. It is something to do for the baby and for your friends and family.

I’m almost 64 and NEVER heard that showers are for broke people. I do think it’s tacky to throw one for yourself; but your SIL is throwing it for you. It’s not your choice. It’s hers. Your MIL needs to keep her feelings to herself. If she feels that way, I’m thinking she’s worried about what her crony friends will think and in all honesty, it’s not her call.

She can pay for everything your baby needs then 
She also sounds out of touch with the times as people often have sprinkles to celebrate subsequent pregnancies.
Well, some people enjoy celebrating and helping new mothers… I’ve heard people say this before… “If you can’t afford a baby, you shouldn’t have one” Ummm It has nothing to do with that. Friends and family support one another. Or at least they should. Who doesn’t want to help a mother and spoil a baby!!!

Since your on bedrest and probably shouldn’t be up much, could you change it to a welcoming shower and have it a couple of weeks after baby is born. People can still bring gifts but it’s not a “baby shower”.
Have the baby shower. Don’t invite her. Let your hubby know that the rich people also have baby showers (google a bunch to show him) and he can do what he wants with that proof.

Even the Kardashians have baby showers. Does she think they’re broke too? That has got to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Has no one in her family ever had a baby shower? Have the shower. Invite her regardless of whether you want to or not. In all honesty, she’s probably just looking for any little thing to make digs at you. Despite wanting to confront her, match moods, etc., be the bigger person and kill her with kindness. Everyone will see her actions for what they are, and they’ll see for themselves that you’ve been nothing but gracious through it all.

Having a baby shower is for broke people? What a crock of shit. Even A list celebrities have baby showers regardless if it’s their 1st child or their 100th. Tell your MIL she can go get stuffed and if your SIL wants to throw you a baby shower, let her. I would, however, still send her an invite as not sending her one could create even more hostility between everyone.
Her comment screams financial insecurity. Do as you wish. I’d have the shower. I love helping mothers.

Having spent time around people who are broke, and people who definitely arent…baby showers are for everyone. The only difference is how they are done.
It’s an excuse for your MIL to ruin something for you. She’s gonna hate you either way. Don’t bother trying to please her. Best thing to do is respond to her drama with “okay” then do whatever you want.

Baby showers are to celebrate the baby and parenthood. Wtf is her problem?
I don’t think Baby Showers are for broke people. It’s a social get together of friends and family to celebrate the coming of a new person into this world. It’s meant to present gifts to the expecting parents as a way to show love and respect for the accomplishment of parenthood. You have that Shower cause when all is said and done, It’s you, your husband and the baby (and the other children). Besides, it will let all your friends and family see your other children which they might not have had a chance to see in the last few years.
Simple don’t invite your mother in law, and enjoy your baby shower , its all your friends and family coming together to shower you and new babe! Congrats

Have the baby shower its a celebration and what anyone gives u if they give u anything helps alot since baby items are so expensive. Its not just for broke people but look at it as a celebration and people celebrating with u the future birth of ur baby. Let the MIL be pissed off or upset because this celebration really doesn’t concern her its about u, ur husband and that new baby at this celebration.
