Need to Comment (kinda long) after the baby shower

Original post by gabbie83

ok first of all this is just my opinion and i know people are all different. escp ladies who are pregnant, raging hormones and all BUT i need to vent a little over here:

As you all know I was throwing this small baby shower at my house this weekend & me and most of the girls were so excited ....yadda yadda yadda... we decorated my house --- soooo cuteee - we got the chair , balloons everything - i prepared the games - cake - i mean it was sooo cute... i did the whole bottle idea - put drinks in baby bottles, & the mom to be comes in (she didnt know anything) and most of us have this impression
she wasnt excited about the gifts, about the decorations, about the food, she wasnt grateful.

Honestly im sitting here and im wondering why did i even do this? And the gifts she got - were really nice -
I threw this baby shower bc i know she doesnt have her family here and doesnt have a lot of friends. Her friends that came were more excited about her baby shower than she was.

Some girls asked her oh were you surprised? and shes like well every pregnant girl has a baby shower - ummm welll not exactly - nobody threw a bridal shower for her before her wedding last year. & the best part, she was saying 'jokingly' oh are there more gifts hidden?




& yesterday DH and I drove and dropped off all the gifts at her apt bc they dont have a car & still no thank you no nothing.,
i mean dont get me wrong, i didnt do this for her to kiss the ground i walk on or anything. but it just kinda s|ucks that you put so much energy into something and someone is ungratfeul and unhappy.

now her DH is verry happy and so grateful that we did this but still I dont know what her issue is - maybe she was expecting more? I dunno.
Ok vent over
please dont quote - i will take it down

What you did was sooooo nice!!! You sound like a great person with a big heart; this girl has no idea whats what. i would totally ask as the other girls have suggested....nicely and in a concerned manner. the suggestion about asking the dh what's up is a good one too. sorry she wasnt more appreciative, NOT NICE!!

Wow...that is totally rude!

Maybe she wasnt sure like how to act because she never had a shower? I dont know...its totally bizarre. Has she ever had a bday party or gotten x-mas presents? I am always overly gracious bc I always want people to know how happy I am for all they did. I cannot believe she would act like that!

I agree with everyone else and think you should try and say something to her or DH. Otherwise it is going to drive you CRAZY!
