| Well I kinda agree but then I don't. If they need things then maybe they are doing it to help out. After so many times you can't re-use clothes from other children because they are not worth usung. Kids go through colthes enough as it is. Maybe they just like the get together for the families and this is their wasy of celebrating the new baby. You n ever know something may happen and you mey need their help one of these days for something for your family. That is what family is suppose to be there for is each other. Sometimes that is all you have is each other. |

| baby showers are really only for your first chid unless there is a large age gap between children like 8 or 10 years. so no i dont think you are being unreasonable. |

| They should have everything they need! I would understand them having another shower if it had been a few years and they don't have any of the stuff they need but 4 children with the oldest being 5, and just last year, they can't possibly need much! |

| I do agree that having another baby shower is inappropriate. However, I believe that as long as she isn't asking for baby furniture or any of that expensive stuff it's not all that bad. I always look at a shower as a celebration of the baby. But I would not go overboard. My cousin just had a shower for her third baby ( all boys ) and they range in age from 4,2 and newborn. I felt the same as you about getting her a gift, but I ended up doing it anyways, I just got her a package of diapers, wipes, and baby bath products. and an outfit. I spent a total of $40.00. but if you plan on getting baby a gift when baby is born, then I would not bother getting a shower gift. |

| uhhh... i don't think its necessarily inappropriate to have a baby shower for more than just your first child, but to outrightly say they are returning the gifts for the money... that's just ridiculous.if the kids are that close in age, and any are the same gender, then you really don't NEED to have one for the presents, you can have one just to celebrate. that's what my neighbor did with her kids, she has 3 (2 boys, 1 girl), although she got presents when she had her girl, as she had NO girly things!i think if the children are more than 3 or 4 years apart, it can be appropriate to have a separate baby shower for each child. this generally isn't the case... but in this day and age, i feel like rules have changed. |

| I completely agree with you! my mom's best friends daughter was pregnant with her 3rd baby, and she decided to throw a baby shower and thought that i would go because they were invited to mine. i said no im not going because they only reason that i believe you are having a baby shower if because you just want the gifts and thats not right. I believe that baby showers are only for the first baby. HOWEVER, there are certain situations where it dont matter. My cousin denise has a baby shower with her second baby as well, but thats because she had a boy, she had recently got married and her daughter was almost 8-9 years older than her newborn son so she obviously didnt have anything. but other than situations like that, i agree it's VERY inappropriate. |

| what do you care what they do with the gifts. you're just psycho and jealous. do you even have kids!? If they need the money more than the gifts thats their problem. babies are always a blessing. stop been so bitter. i feel bad for your husband that has to put up with your psycho ass for the rest of his life. Get therapy. |
