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

You have YOUR shower! Don’t invite motherzilla. Would you have canceled your wedding just cause she ran her mouth? Didn’t think so.

Tell your mother in law to zip it… do what you want girl♥️

Have the baby shower. It is for your baby, not that hateful woman.

Baby Shower and enjoy yourself, judgmental people gonna judge whatever you do.

Stop worrying about what your MIL thinks and gave your baby shower. There’s nothing wrong with having a baby shower and even socialites and celebrities do it. Baby showers have moved away from being all about gifts. They are more for celebrating your new baby.

Have a baby shower. They aren’t for broke people, what an ignorant comment for her to make. They’re meant to celebrate the baby, and if your sis in law wants to host it then she should. I’d honestly not invite my MIL if she said that stuff about me/my baby.

If you don’t need stuff for your baby have a baby shower to the max. But have all the gifts be for a local rescue or shelter. Plus by to the max I mean do it costume style and have the women dress like babys, animals their husband… but party down as much as you can just to piss her off and shut her mouth down now. Otherwise she will continue to run her mouth.

Well if that was the case why do famous people have baby showers? To celebrate their babies :baby: tell ur mil to sit rhe heck down

Mine didn’t do this to us and was excited to help plan ours. However, over the years we have learned to just do what we want and ignore anything anyone else has to say. :sweat_smile: I understand it’s hard to do that straight off the bat just like it was hard for us to learn that. But like… we wouldn’t even be married or have anything we do have if we listened to everyone that told us what to do. I say, if she wants to be that nasty about it don’t invite her. :woman_shrugging: And if for some reason yall just invite her anyway just to keep peace, don’t be afraid to ask her to leave if she starts something. Your baby shower is about celebrating y’all baby and bringing them into the world. Not a place for drama or disrespect.

If you want a baby shower then have one. It’s your choice love. It doesn’t matter what people say about you. They are not the ones carrying and raising your kids that’s all you. I didn’t get to have one for my first due to covid and I was very upset. I might have one for this baby I haven’t decided yet. I don’t have any of my baby stuff I gave it to my sister after my son grew out of it since she was having a baby.

The last 6 sentences is your answer. SIL wants to do it (you have supportive family). Your husband wants you to be happy (he counts most). Do it!

This is my philosophy about family: When a man leaves his home and takes a wife… they become united as ONE! The children between that union become a nuclear family. EVERYONE outside that union becomes extended family. Your MIL may not respect those boundaries and it’s up to your husband to deal with his mother. I understand you wanting her blessing but you may never get it (who knows why).

What’s most important is you and yours from the core out—>> starting with your husband and children. Not everyone gets the same access to you (boundaries). Soak up the love and support you get that flows freely and dismiss the rest. Have a wonderful baby shower! Congratulations! :heart:

I’m sorry, in laws are shit. Do what makes you happy. Speaking from 17 years of experience. Don’t miss out on things because of what the in laws think. I didn’t do so much and now, I can’t have anymore, so my one precious boy is my everything.

If you are on bedrest, maybe a shower shortly after the baby arrives would be better. Mother-in-law would have a chance to bond with the new arrival.?!?!?

Have the shower and quit stressing the mother in law sounds like she doesn’t like you already if she is talking down about you sounds like sister in law likes drama take what she says with a grain of salt have the shower your in love with her son not the whole family

Have your baby shower Darling it’s about your new baby and your family ie you your husband and the children celebrating the new arrival,as for MIL if she has nothing nice to say best she says nothing at all.She doesn’t have to like you or you her she’s not married to you.Your happiness is all that matters and you have one life.I would invite her and if she chooses not to come that’s her perogative.I hope it’s a beautiful day for you and you enjoy it and congratulations and best wishes :kissing_heart::kissing_heart::kissing_heart::kissing_heart::two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts: Xxxx

Id bring up in a conversation how you like the pink/blue color theme “insert whatever rich celebrity” had for thier baby shower everytime you see her. Show her pics of the lavish baby showers celebrities have and ask her her toughts on the colors, ect. Basically proving the richest of people still have baby showers.

Have your baby shower. Baby showers are to celebrate your baby. It’s not your mother in laws baby so who cares what she thinks. She’s obviously not a decent person. Do what makes you happy…

What a bunch of crap ! I know people who are very financially well off and still have showers. Have your baby shower and tell her she wants to ignorant about it then tell her not to bother to come.

Have the baby shower. This is a special moment for you and your husband don’t let someone ruin that for you.

Have your baby shower. It is a joy to be able to spend time with friends and family who really appreciate you. If your mother in law does not like it she has a personal problem and needs to get over it. Your husband needs to support you whether he offends her or not.

Damn, well do your baby shower and tell her she’s not invited it’s only for “broke people “

Do the baby shower. It’s not just about getting gifts. It’s a celebration for the pregnancy. I probably wouldn’t invite the MIL but I would definitely have the shower. And baby showers are not for poor people. And for her to say that was incredibly inconsiderate and hurtful.

Have the damn baby shower. This will start a precedent of you doing what you want instead of listening to her poison. You don’t throw yourself a baby shower. Friends and family do out of the kindness of their hearts.

Ffff his mother don’t even invite her.

Post like this irritate me so much you’re not married to his mother your husband should tell his mother to shut up and mind her business and the sister-in-law needs to stop coming back repeating whatever is said you don’t need that drama if you’re already on bed rest

Have a baby shower & don’t even invite her! It’s YOUR child. YOUR life. Who gives a shit what she has to say? And if it does offend her, oh well. Cry a river tell her

My boss is having her second and she had what is called a “sprinkle” instead of a shower. She can definitely afford anything she needs but it’s more of a celebration of birth, just as one would have a birthday party. Sounds like this woman is judgmental and I wouldnt allow that to bother me. Address the situation with her as an adult and be open and explain how it makes you feel. But most importantly have your dam party :slightly_smiling_face:

Tell your monster in law to kick rocks! Let your sister in law throw you one.

I personally would call the MIL and address this clearly. Tell her your excited to gather your friends and family and celebrate your new baby. Ask her what on earth gives her the impression that baby showers are for “broke” people because that couldn’t be further from the truth. What a load of crap.

Please do not take into consideration what your mother-in-law says especially if she’s not going to be supportive and celebrate you all’s baby. You do what you want to do and she can either come to the baby shower or not but don’t let that worry you and just go ahead and have your baby shower. Neither of you need to put too much stock on each other’s parents or family especially if they’re going to be toxic and disrespectful you two just do what is best for you to as a family and as a couple. Everyone else can come along with whatever you guys decide if they don’t want to it’s their problem. I have news for you don’t spend your relationship trying to please your mother-in-law we’re trying to get her to like you because the truth of the matter is she doesn’t like like or respect you for reasons that are hers and that’s not going to change no matter what you do so just do what makes you happy and clearly you want to have a baby shower so go ahead and have your baby shower.

Have a welcoming party. Don’t call it a shower. Those who want to bring a gift can. Those who don’t want to, don’t have to. Invite people to tour the nursery, have a name it jar, so people can suggest names, and honor the grandparents on both sides. Also celebrate the baby’s siblings., Draw the family together. Separating everyone over this issue will only bring hardship to all involved.
