OK folks, I have an issue. It has to do with the unwritten rules regarding baby showers. I love going to a baby shower don't get me wrong. I think that they're extremely cute, it's a big wake up call to me in terms of inventions that I could use when it comes to that time in my life where I will want to have some kids (not yet though). BUT...lets be clear about this (because I have gotten into a few arguments regarding this), ladies please note this because from the personal poll I took 85% agreed with me.
When you have your first child, it is perfectly ok to have a baby shower and expect your friends and family to come through since it's your first time and there are lots of mothers out there that may be able to hook you up with some much needed items. BUT...when you are on your second kid and there isn't a 12 year age difference between your kid and the upcoming new born, PLEASE DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER BABY SHOWER. It's tacky, it speaks volumes on your "motherhood" and pretty much screams that you're not ready to have another kid and somehow you've managed to get rid of your first borns baby clothes/ hand me downs etc. You made that second decision, not your friends.
With this knowledge please make sure that you never invite me to a baby shower if you're planning on having one for your 2nd or 3rd child. It is NOT ok with many people.
Thank you!

Word to your MOTHER!!!
What if the kid is of a different sex?
Isn't a shower about celebrating the birth of a baby not ust presents?
yes anonymous it is supposed to be a celebration of life, but there's a line that is drawn. You can do that by having a cake, most people expect presents and then wonder why nobody brings any for them...
If the baby is a different sex, then that's the babies problem and most likely the baby won't have a preference if it's wearing blue or pink, the parents are the only ones that care. Baby is a baby, to me they're pretty much a uni-sex.
