Re: baby showers

(Anonymous) 2014-07-16 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
In my experience, people usually just have a baby shower for the first child...maybe the second. My cousin had one for all four of her children and most of my family members were like "why the fuck does she need a party every single time she gets pregnant?". I've also noticed that reaction from other people as well over a similar situation. Personally, I don't give a shit but I know a lot of people who think it's proper etiquette to only have a shower for the first child.

sa

I live in Texas, btw. Not sure if there are regional differences for this kind of thing or if it even matters (especially since Texas is so huge that there are numerous regional differences about all sorts of things within the same state) but I thought I'd mention it

Hmm, this is also my experience - whereabouts in Texas are you? (I'm from Houston, btw)

Texas people!

(Austin.)

I've never been to a baby shower, and don't know anyone having a baby, so can't actually comment.

I'm trying to think of anyone who had a baby shower for more than one of their children and failing. (Then again I don't know that many kids, so maybe I'm not the person to ask.)

I'm from Texas, too.

(However, I don't personally have a problem with people having more than one baby shower, but it isn't something I see much of.)

ayrt

Aside from the aforementioned incidences, the only time I really see it happening for subsequent kids is when the second child is a different sex than the first because some the parents want to do activities or get baby clothes/whatever that are more "girly" or "boyish" and feel that a lot of the hand-me-downs from their first child wouldn't be suitable for their second because of the gender difference. Even then, it's still pretty rare to do this from what I've noticed.

Righttttt, I can see that happening too, now that you mention it. (And imagine it has but I haven't been privy to it.)

Pretty sure there's gender neutral baby clothing now too so that could be helpful for people wanting multiple kids, but not everyone would be into those.
