First of all, what about the family members of these ladies, are they now supposed to buy gifts for a woman they don't know? That could put a burden on some people. Same with the friends (if they don't know both women). How does each of the pregnant women feel about this? It sounds like this is the first child for each one, do they want to share the experience (especially the one who had such a hard time getting pregnant)? I don't know that I'd want people that I don't even know at my baby shower. Well these are just my thoughts. Good luck in however you deal with this, believe me I would be upset too.
| I agree. I wouldn't wanna share a shower with someone else. A shower if very important to new moms, especially if she's been trying so hard. It's suppose to be all about her. Do these moms know each other? If not, then I would def make separate parties. It would be weird buying presents for the other mom if guests don't know her, I'm sure some will feel obligated to do so. That stinks that your neighbor is doing this to you. I hate when people don't listen and are pushy. Hopefully everything work outs. If you want a separate party, then don't give in. Just go to her one more time and explain it again. In the end, everything will work out! Good luck! |
