Let’s Talk About Baby Showers
Alright, friends, let’s have a chat. I’ve attended my fair share of baby showers — including my own — and I have one straightforward request: can we please retire those cringe-worthy baby shower games? Seriously, enough is enough!
Let’s be real for a moment. Nobody wants to play a game where we guess the flavor of melted chocolate in a diaper. It might seem funny to poke fun at the messy reality of motherhood, but honestly, it’s not. I’ve got enough chaos at home with my three kids and two dogs. The last thing I want is to wade through more mess just to bond with other guests.
And don’t even get me started on baby trivia. I’m not interested in figuring out how many diapers a baby goes through in a year or the astronomical cost of raising a child today. I came to celebrate, not to get depressed over my future budget.
And what’s with measuring the size of the mom-to-be’s belly? This isn’t a horse race, people! We all know she’s got a big bump, and she definitely doesn’t need anyone reminding her of it.
Then there’s the baby food guessing game. Nope! I can barely handle that stuff when I’m feeding my own kids, let alone at someone else’s shower. I didn’t wrangle a babysitter just to gag on baby food flavors.
As for those 20 questions about how well I know the mom-to-be? Honestly, I barely know her. I’m only here because my husband’s distant relative invited me, and I’d rather not get grilled on her life stats.
And please, if I have to pin another sperm on an egg, I might just lose it. No sane person enjoys these games; not even you, the hostess. It’s time to admit it!
Let’s Keep It Simple
Instead, how about we keep it simple? Just serve us some drinks and snacks and tell us we look fabulous. That’s all we need! Let the mom-to-be indulge in pastries, open her gifts, and head home to kick off those support hose and enjoy a moment of peace.
For the love of all that is holy, let’s make baby showers fun again!
