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

Have the baby shower! If she doesn’t want to participate you probably are better off that she stays home.

have a baby shower and if she does,nt want to come oh well

If you give in now, youll always give in. Do what you and hubby want , shes not the one married to him, you are, its your life not hers! Maybe shes jealous of you because you are the woman in his life now!! It happens!!

Have a baby shower She will get Over herself .

Go full swing :rofl::+1: may aswell hate on you for something worth doing make a show of it

Have your baby shower! And fuck your mother in law ignore her its your guys’ baby not hers

Sounds like your mother in law is a hateful bitch that needs to get laid. Most importantly you shouldn’t care what she thinks of you, you are married to her son and his opinion of you is the only one that should matter. Throw your own baby shower and don’t invite her. If you want to have a successful married stand your ground now before you become the door mat.

Have the shower. Be happy with friends and family wishing you well Celebrate and have fun. Make sure to invite MIL invite her to help plan or suggestions. Her choice

first off you‘re expecting a child, so there‘s no need to behave like one yourself. you‘re a grown woman that deserves to be respected since you clearly respect others too. secondly you got told your mother in law talked about you so you have to tell her about it and ask whether that‘s true or not so you can have a grown conversation and can clear things out. a baby shower is what you want to do and it‘s a fun thing. IF your MIL really thinks that way she doesn‘t need to come too, that‘s not a problem and the presents you‘ll get for the baby is none of her business also she doesn‘t have to understand what‘s going on in your life, it‘s not hers. but if you‘ll adress the issue you have with her talking behind your back in a proper way you‘ll show her that you respect her few on things and make it clear that nonetheless your a well mannerd adult who can have difficult conversations even if your opinions apart :woman_shrugging:t2: it‘s your life and your baby and whatever she has to say is her opinion and should not bother you that much. good luck :slightly_smiling_face: and have fun at the baby shower

Have the shower it’s not going to change how she feels about you. The gifts you may receive are for the baby anyway regardless of your financial statis and if she feels like this about gifts for a birth what is she going to say about birthday presents. Enjoy a party especially if your stuck on bed rest.

Well she doesn’t have to come to the baby shower. Baby showers are actually expensive and a poor person couldn’t afford everything required to throw one. Let’s hope her attitude changes for the sake of her new grand baby. Throw the baby shower. I didn’t have one with my son and he’s 5 and I regret that decision. Each baby deserves to be showered with love and attention. Don’t let her poor attitude influence your decisions. Life is too short.

Go ahead and have your baby shower. A baby shower is to celebrate the baby. The Kardashians/Jenners always have baby showers and they are definitely not broke. Please do not give in. If you do that now, she’s gonna walk all over you later. Your MIL just sounds so salty.

A baby shower is to celebrate the arrival of a new member of a loving community of friends and relatives. Your mother in law is a sad, jealous, vindictive old woman. Ignore her and welcome the new baby with all the joy and happiness you both deserve.

She sounds like a miserable biter human. Have that shower. Being broke has nothing to do with having a shower.

Oh my girl are you in for it when you say he doesn’t want to offend his mother. You should be the only person in this situation that matters. Have your shower and enjoy it (without her)

You go ahead and have your baby shower it is a celebration of the new baby.your mil is wrong to say those things.

A baby shower is a celebration of a blessing. Have your baby shower and celebrate with your family and friends. Sometimes you will come across people who no matter what you do will never be satisfied. This sounds like your mother inlaw. She should be excited about having a grandchild and wanting to celebrate. Congrats on the baby!!!

I’m petty, I would do a full on shower. None of that sprinkle shit. Then I’d make the theme, “broke b¡tches.” Then put on the invitations “Please come support our child and baby needs because we clearly cannot” put the host as your MIL💁🏽‍♀️

Baby showers are not for the broke. It’s to celebrate the beautiful life you two created. It’s not an obligation to bring a gift either. Don’t let his mom ruin this opportunity and happiness for you.

in Last month i have received $ 13488 by doing work on my mobile. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $ 19638 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibllity with this ls endless.

A Baby shower is for everyone to be happy for you, and get stuff for the baby to Congratulate you xxxxx

Have that baby shower. I know of NO ONE in my life who could afford all that a newborn requires. MIL doesn’t need to be there if she is against having one. 99% of this country has them, ENJOY and share all the excitement with the family and friends who would love to be there. And, CONGRATULATIONS on the blessed event about to happen.

Baby shower=showering the baby=celebration! You are celebrating your child coming intonthis world and you as their mofher. If she wasn’t a negative Nancy, she could see that. Have that baby shower.

I’d tell him that he needs to stop worrying about offending her- it isn’t her child and she is a grown ass woman. She can handle her own emotions.

Don’t listen to her I had 2 since we had lots of relatives and wasn’t broke.sometimes you get a gift you may have never thought of or someone made a special blanket.

Your baby deserves a beautiful welcome to your family and extended family , so as far as your mother inlaw gos any time anyone buys a gift for a child to welcome them to the world is beautiful, she sounds like, a snob and let her know your having one and she is welcome to be there,if you don’t stop it at the gate well maybe there won’t be any birthday partys because it’s for the poor trying to get gifts,it’s a celebration of another year these things make everyone happy and is very good for your child, you can’t cave because this will have bad roll over effects throughout your marriage,she will take over believe me I learned to late,you are a married couple you are your own boss’s you make your own decisions ,after all these years I now please me and she actually likes me now live your life, always invite and if she makes comment you need to politely say please can you respect our wishes and let us learn our lives, god bless you and your new baby and hubby,please don’t let anyone rain on your parade

The best thing is get hubby to take his mother out anywhere else whilst you and your sis in laws and best mates all gather for your wonderful baby shower, it’s more about a great vibe of happy expectation for the baby than the gifts and if your Mother in Law feels so strongly, let her put her hand up to buy the most expensive, durable baby items firstly for HER grandchild! You’ll never please her nor measure up no matter WHAT you do, that’s on her. Just be YOU, that’s all you and hubby need worry about.

Have that baby shower! I hope one of your close friends does it for you. If you mother in law doesn’t support it, leave her out of it. Second, why did your sister in law find it necessary to tell you what she did? If you’re having a difficult pregnancy, you don’t need the added stress.
My feeling on telling someone that kind of information is DON’T. If it isn’t helpful, will hurt their feelings or add stress, keep it to yourself.
Enjoy that baby shower and especially that new baby!

Just do it. It’s for the baby not for the poor but it does help either way! It’s celebrating the baby not getting money or present those are a plus to everything. For me it’s about the games and the time spent with everyone else before the mom and dad has their hands full with a baby. If his mother doesn’t like it then she doesn’t have to come but leave it open for her to come so she can’t say you didn’t invite her.

Don’t invite her and make she knows you know…, stop worrying abt who likes u it not…u like u

Go ahead and let some of your friends have you a baby shower. Everyone gets baby showers. If they have one sex the first time and have a different sex the second time they have them 2 baby showers. You haven’t had a baby in a long time and if your friends want to have a shower let them have one for you. They even had one for Prince Harry’s wife and they sure are not poor. It is none of your mil’s business. If she doesn’t want you having a shower tell her she can buy all the things you need for your baby and buy it’s clothes as it grows up. That might shut her up.

Enjoy your baby shower. She needs to mind her own business. If you give in to this, she will think she can control you!!!
