Had an issue re: one of Debi's friends wanting to bring her baby to Debi's shower

Apr 10, 2008 06:57 PM

She left a message, saying she could come, but would be bringing her baby, if that's ok, and if it's not ok, to call her, and she could get someone to watch him. Ok, I called and very nicely said we will not be having babies or children at the shower, because it's such a small room, and it only holds 20 people, and we overinvited ( which is normal in my book); I told her we definitely want people to come, but I didn't think the space would be comfortable for servers to wedge in and out with tea, and food, if we have baby carriers etc. She then said she wouldn't be able to find anyone to keep her baby, when the message she left previously, was she could find a sitter, and it sounded like no big deal. Then, she said she usually wears her baby, so there would be no carrier on the floor etc. This Mom sounded a bit put out with my decision, and didn't even say good bye!!! Just hung up!! I hope Debi doesn't have a problem with this. I don't mean to sound anti baby/children, because I love them, but the space is just not conducive to it. Thanks for listening!! Mary MOB
