My cousin is so odd

My cousin is so odd

She is prego with her first child. She tells my entire family she does not want a baby shower. So, ok fine. But my mom wants to sent a gift. I think it is redicullous. You see, my cousin is very stuck up and thinks her poop doesn't stink. My family, including aunts and uncles are not good enough for her and her husband...

So, I am not sending a darn thing. What would you do?

Re: My cousin is so odd

I wouldn't send a gift off her registry though I would send a gift card and let her pick her own.

I would buy something off her registry and give to her when the baby is born.

She has no registry and does not want anything from the family at all.

I would either send her a gift card or bring over some outfits when I go to see the baby.

That's a good idea!

Re: My cousin is so odd

i suggest send her a card when the baby is born and then if/when you go see the baby, then bring a gift.

Re: My cousin is so odd

I would just get something once the baby is born....

Look, so only send her a gift if you feel like you want to. That should be the rule always. It seems like you don't want to, so don't.

ditto.

Or send a bond after the baby is born.

Re: My cousin is so odd

I would get her something small after the baby is born! Try Marshalls. Just get an outfit or blanket!

Re: My cousin is so odd

Some people think baby showers are bad luck & have them after the baby is born. I'd just get her something after.

Re: My cousin is so odd

send $25 in the baby's name when the baby is born

Re: My cousin is so odd

if she's denouncing her own FAMILY I wouldn't be giving her a gift of any sort. Are YOU on good terms with her?

I think that is so wrong of her to not want to keep in touch with her family...is there a reason for it? a falling out? or is she that snobby???

Re: My cousin is so odd

I say screw her!! If she is too good for the family let her buy her own damn gifts. Etiquette goes out the window when people don't act right. JMO

But if you want to be nice when the baby is born, send a card. If you see the baby give them a savings bond or something.
