Re: baby showers

[kallanda_lee]

Honestly my protocol is I try to not go to them. I feel like it's not so much about the kids, as the parents expecting expensive gifts, and if you're unlucky there's awkward conversations about the physical realities of childbirth, breastfeeding and other tings I can do without. Also getting babies dumped on your lap.

As for the rest, I don't think there's a protocol. Some people only do it for the first kid, others do it for every kid - the only constant I've known is that there are generally snacks and drinks on the side of the parents, and gifts for the kid on the side of the attendees. Otherwise I've seen very few rules about it.

THIS. So much this.

I think the original protocol for showers was to give gifts for people when they were starting out - with weddings, people were usually just entering into a brand new household together, and with babies, for the first baby (because again, they'd need a lot of stuff they didn't have). I consider it poor form to have a shower for each baby, and I do think that the tradition has just turned into a grab bag for some people.
