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

Have it and don’t include her simple fix

Screw her… but usually you don’t throw your own! Loved ones and friends do it for you to gather and celebrate the birth and shower the new parents with gifts of love to celebrate the new birth…,. She is dead wrong and hateful

Doesn’t want to offend his mother? Lol, what!!? Go ahead with the baby shower, this is for you … not her.

My lord, does she have any idea how much it can cost to have the baby shower? Renting a space, invites, food for a large crowd, and games/prizes? Lol. Have your shower don’t invite her.

Baby stuff is expensive. If you have the money great but hand me downs or gifts are so helpful.

I didnt read but the first part of the post. Ignore me.:upside_down_face::rofl:

Let your sister-n-law have you the shower! Celebrate your new baby together and with those that are so excited for you!

It’s a party for a baby. Gifts literally aren’t required. For an occasion. Do it anyway. The mother in law will either get over herself and come, or she can deal with not being part of something for her grandchild. And if her behavior continues of gets worse she can just not be around all together :woman_shrugging:t3:

Don’t invite the mother in law. It’s your child, if you want to do a baby shower, do it!

Don’t invite his mother?

Take control of your own life! It’s your baby and your family, screw what she thinks!

Oh man sounds like shes scared her baby is having a baby and youll be needing to set some boundaries in the near future

She sounds like nightmare!!! Just have the shower to celebrate your baby,

Your mother-in-law doesn’t have no right to say if you have a baby shower or not. It is your husband’s and your baby. Let’s your sister-in-law throw you a shower you will have so much fun. Congratulations

Have it it’s your life don’t allow her to control you .

I have never heard such a thing. If you let your mother-in-law dictate this, she will try and dictate the rest of your life. What about your own mother? If you have a living mother and/or YOUR side of the family, who may be wanting to joyously celebrate this new life with you and your family. Your mother in law is petty, and shame on your sister-in-law, who should never have told you such a hurtful thing. She sounds like a pot stirrer. I wouldn’t trust her either.

Have the baby and pretend like you didn’t hear anything. Then she’ll talk shit to everyone else she told and it’ll spark drama . Avoid the drama. If she attends, great, and if not, that’s fine. Don’t react. Mom in laws will say and do lots of things. Your husband will have to speak to her whenever she’s getting over board and you keep attending to your life. But he has to be the one to take care of any issues when they arrise.

Live & let live. Let people carry their own problems. Don’t make them yours. Be happy doing what makes you happy. You only live once. And you & your baby deserve the baby’s celebration of life, that’s what baby showers are meant to be about. Congratulations.

Have your baby shower and don’t worry about what his mom thinks . If you let her take that from you she will continue to run all over you in the future . And congrats on the new baby :heart:

Your mother in law is going to be offended by anything and she is a total bitch. Baby showers are a tradition and lovely. You need to show your mother in law who is in control and that her mouth isn’t going to influence your life and decisions. What a troublemaker she is :skull::skull:. That’s too bad. You better make sure your mother in law know who’s boss and do it early. Please yourself, follow your doctor’s orders. Ignore her idiocy and gossip. She is totally out of control and hoping she can make you cower and worry about what she thinks. Don’t give her that power.

If you don’t have the baby shower, good chance MIL will find something else to complain about. Do what is right for you and your husband.

yes rich people have baby showers they just dont invite poor people this is why your mother in law does not know about it she is poor in character and unconditional love, look it up on line and if you are FB friends with her start sharing those photos I mean over load it and you can share with just her and no one else on your friends list. I do believe. so go bomb her page with those rich & famous baby showers…

Your MIL sounds like a bitch. The baby shower decision is between YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND. Don’t invite her and definitely don’t feel bad when she comes around crying about it later. F that

If your mother in law is talking bad about you any way, then why skip a baby shower? It seems like no matter what you do, she is going to find a reason to dislike your decisions. Baby showers are to celebrate a new life. People of all social classes have them. Not just “poor people”. Thats the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard.

Have the baby shower and don’t invite her. You are the only one giving her the power to hurt you. Stand up for yourself and also your husband should be standing up for you!

Just because she’s the grandma does not mean she’s entitled to your child. Especially when she is being disrespectful to you!

Nope! You better have that baby shower! Forget what she says! Oh, and don’t invite her either.

What an odd position for your mother in law to take. Typically, a baby shower is thrown for the mom to be by her friends and family to welcome the impending arrival. There is no socio-economic means test to have one.

Also, tell her if she’d like to purchase all of the things you’ll need for when the baby arrives, then please do. I’m sure she’ll keep her mouth quiet after that.
