I Hate Baby Showers
Posted in bitchiness on 03/08/2008 01:06 pm by Jerseygirl89I hate baby showers.
I don’t like bridal showers either, unless they are coed and involve cocktails.
I haven’t been to that many showers (could it be my attitude?) , but I feel like I’ve been to thousands. It’s not the gifts or the registries that bother me, it’s the conversations as everyone discusses each onesie or toaster oven. How many different ways can each person say, “Cute!” or “So practical!” And then there are the games. I like party games that involve drinking, not creative uses for toilet paper.
I hated my own showers more than anything. Then I had to be the FIRST one to come up with an appropriate and original comment for each gift. And I couldn’t even go do a shot in the kitchen (I only did that at one shower, I swear). Well,I did like one of the showers I had. Because it wasn’t like a regular shower. My friend Mimi asked me what I wanted and I told her that I wanted her to invite people over to her house for a Chiefs game. The shower was coed, there was beer (not for me, but the guests had a good time) and conversation was mainly about football. There was some baby talk, but it wasn’t bland gift discussion, it was real information.
That was the best shower ever.
What do you think? Do you enjoy baby showers? Did you have a traditional one? Do you think I’m a complete bitch?
