Im throwing a babyshower for my sister in-law. It is her fourth, but this is her first boy. I had a little shower, well, welcome party for both of my kids. I have a daughter who is 8 and son is 5. My sister in-law her first is from a previous relationship and her daughter is 7, than she has a 3,1 and than this one is due on September. She likes to pop them out, but its a different discussion. So since its her first boy I decided to throw her a shower. We have a family member, my and her husbands aunt who is just down right crazy. She tells my mother in-law once she gets the invite, "I'm not going to the shower because she dosent deserve one." I understand many ppl believe its only for your first, but I think its okay if you have a girl and than a boy its okay to have a shower. I believe every child should be celebrated and a litte party for each one shouldnt be frowed upon. What are your thoughts?

I don't really understand why they hold baby showers but since you said it's her first every time then, technically, she's eligible to hold one again, right? I mean, all you have to do is respect the person for what she wants. Besides, you got nothing to lose.

Im the one throwing the shower. As said in the discussion. I wrote the title line to let everyone know what my husbands aunt said. She said she dosent deserve a shower because its her fourth, but shes having a boy this time. I figure its nice to have a shower and celebrate. I think every baby should be celebrated.

I think celebrating every baby is so nice this makes everyone of them special.. and since this is the first baby boy she'll need some blue stuff for him and having a baby-shower will definitely make her happy…
good luck and wish you an enjoyable party :)

a baby shower for each baby, that's how it goes around here anyway. I don't see why the aunt thinks she doesn't deserve it but it might be a deeper issue then just the fact that she's had other kids.

I think it's not as necessary since it is her forth child. She probably still has a lot of baby stuff from her other children. Only thing she'd need since it is her first boy, would be baby boy clothes.

No, its not as important, but being a boy i think its nice to celebrate him. We have to face the facts though out of all the baby showers I have thrown and the two I had for my kids all I got were clothes and some diapers anyway.
