Questions & Answers

Im sorry I will have to agree with Noelle on this. I do not believe she meant any disrespect by her comment but as I said I agree with her. I am not a first time mother and I can understand that someone may not want babies, children, men, whoever there. Maybe the mother isn't a first time mother and would like a break, maybe she would like some girl time, maybe she wants it to be all about her (as my opinion should be) and not have everyone fixiated on someone else or their children, or maybe its just because she is freaking out a little about being a mother....regardless of her reasoning or anyone elses beliefs its as simple as this....its her shower if she asked for no baby then respect that, if you can't find a sitter then don't go and that is a consequence she will have to deal with since she put the stipulations on who can come. Good luck and ladies try not to get so offended by things that shouldn't offend you.

I didn't mean any disrespect, dont wanna cause conflict. Yes I am a first time parent but I have helped raise my boyfriends 6 year old daughter since she was 1. I was just trying to say that it's the persons choice if they wanna have kids at their shower.

Oh Noelle, I laughed at your comment. You are so obviously a first time parent with that disrespectful comment. I can't wait for you to have a 6 year old boy and suddenly wild and "disrespectful" will be your child exerting his independence.

I have been to showers with a "girls' night" theme where it's at a restaurant and you go dancing afterward, and I think it would be really inappropriate to bring a child or baby to one like that. If it's a normal shower, it's likely not as big of a deal, but I would respect the mama-to-be's wishes. Depending on the person, if she's a bit insecure she might feel a little like you're stealing her spotlight with your baby.

I guess if it were me being asked to not bring my baby, I would find a sitter, it's their party, and their wishes. But I have mixed feelings about it. A lot of my friends have younger kids that are wild crazy and very disrespectful. I really don't want them to bring their kids to the shower cuz I believe it's a time to relax and enjoy ourselves, not for my friends and family to have to be talking over loud kids, or chasing after them. My thoughts are different when it comes to little babies tho, I'm fine with that cuz they don't cause havoc, well most of them don't! Lol!

Not sure why the no children rule, its just a small get together, I wont leave my cihild with a siitter,i'm new to my town and dont know anyone to leave them with.

depends, is she saying it cos she only wants adults there? if you cant get a sitter and she still wont let ya go, then ye I would be a bit pissed off, have u asked her why ?
