I'm going to try really hard to not make this yet another baby shower rant ....
I was taught growing up that friends host showers for friends. If a new/expecting mom didn't have friends or their closest friends happened to be their sisters/sisters-in law, it was fine for a sister/sil to host the shower. But, that it was not appropriate for a mother to host a shower for her daughter (baby or bridal). Even okay for an aunt to be the host, but not the mom. My mom explained it as tacky and trolling for gifts.
Am I nuts? Was my mom just crazy? Am I being old fashioned? Does anyone else think the same thing? Because, once again, I have been invited to yet another baby shower hosted by the mother/grandma to be. I don't want to go. Can I not go solely based on principal?
Thanks for listening.
