Baby Shower + Random-ness

[xsethsownstarx]

Wasted my whole afternoon/evening at my cousin's baby shower.
blah. Invite said 4 pm, so me & my family got there around 3:45 or so. They were just then setting up the tent! *flails* NOT a good sign. So we grabbed some folding chairs and sat along the side of the house and watched amused as the menfolk raised the tent, then as some random people we

Excessively amused, I am by your Saturday. You waited for two hours to eat and had to watch them set everything and cook? It sounds like just about any celebration I went to recently, though I never got to be a decoration.

We don't have baby showers, but we do go to see the baby (and give them money and present)once it's born. I hate those events - people always feel the need to tiptoe around us because we can't have kids. It spoils all the fun.

And - games?

holy crap dude that is the suckiest saturday on record. I hate baby showers. this is why I am so glad I don't work with real people anymore!

Damn fast food skanks were always knocked up and hitting everyone up for money for useless baby shit like diapers and cribs and things. And figured that a cheap party with generic soda, pretzels and the baby mommma's big ass belly sticking out of her skanky half top would justify it! Like *I* can afford to take care of the baby *YOU* can't afford to have! srsly!

sorry to turn my comment into a mini-rant, but baby showers are one of my pet peeves. sick tradition, I think.

Well I had to spend mine listening to Samm bitch under her breath the whole time about how her & Dino are having so much trouble having a baby and trying to pretend she's not jealous. blahblahblah. What fun.

Top that off with my cousin Jessica (older sis of the baby mama) who claims to be pregnant going all over the party complaining about being pregnant. She's already been pregnant (supposedly) twice and miscarried. Now she's claiming to be pregnant again, but we're not really believing her. We mostly think she's just jealous b/c she couldn't keep her pregnancies (thank god! She's too selfish for a baby!) and just wants some of the attention Gloria's getting. Plus she isn't showing any signs.

My family is totally fails sometimes.. ack.

Oh Hades, that doesn't sound fun. I threw my girlfriend a baby shower, and I made sure it was food right away, 3 games, pressies, and buh-bye, let the pregnant lady rest and enjoy her gifts. The party you went to sounds huge, though! We weren't that many people.

Don't mean to sound stereotypical about it, but my cousin's dad is Mexican & so is her baby daddy, so, yeah, there was a whole yardful of people. It was also weird because there were guys there... and it was more like a family picnic crossed with a baby shower. *fails*
