| I don't think it's rude at all. Especially since you are not going to have a baby shower. I am due on January 20th and I am sure that the grandparents will definitely buy for the baby. I will probably put up a stocking for her too now that you mention it. ↑ |
| Go for it. I think you should whether you have a baby shower or not. I am due mid december and people have bought out son gifts for christmas already. ↑ |
| i dont think its rude at all we are buying gifts for our little girl and we are due january 21st, now that you have said it a stocking hanging up sounds adorable x ↑ |
| I'm sure if people are wanting to buy you presents they will no matter if you tell them about the stocking or space under the tree. But it is a cute idea. I'm also due Jan. 15th and I plan to hang a stocking for my lil one....just because he is part of the family now...even though he is still in my tummy! :) And I am sorry your mom "won't allow you" to have a baby shower... :( ...seems like you would need one even more since you are young and not married. ?? ↑ |
| my daughter was born last january and we hung a stocking for her but my question is, why is it that you are 18 and you are not allowed to have a shower because you are unmarried. i was 19 and unmarried with my first and although my mom was not happy about the pregnancy at first, she gave me a beautiful shower. the baby is a reality. its like you are being punished for being young and unwed. if anything, you NEED a shower to help out with the necessities. you are an adult. why cant you have one and why would your mom take this memory from you? i dont get it. ↑ |
| I think it is a cute idea, even get something to hang on the tree. ↑ |
| Thanks you guys. My moms just super traditional. Even though she was 19 when she had my older brother and unmarried. She doesn't want me to have a shower because she doesn't think unwed pregnancies are something to celebrate. The baby's father is still in the picture its just his mom is super super religious and refuses to believe that her son participated in premarital sex. Denial has to be her middle name. She's considered "head of the household" in their house, so in turn she doesn't allow my boyfriend's dad to buy anything. You should see the look she gives him when he pats my belly or asks about ultrasounds, etc. ↑ |
| Does your mom still financially support you?? So is she going to accept the baby once it's born?? Wow I'm so sorry!!!!!!!! You're part of the on-line baby shower, right? So at least you can get some sort of surprise...if she's so religious, would she rather of you had an abortion?!? Good luck and you sound like a very mature 18 year old ↑ |
i lived on my own for a bit during my pregnancy and she helped me get on wic. but then i stopped by to visit her one day and i heard her talking to her girlfriend about me calling me a "welfare ho". my mom's just always sending me mixed messages. for example, when i buy baby things like towels, or blankets she gives me this look like i shouldn't be excited. but last night she went to wal mart and bought this big fire truck that kids sit and scoot around on. on the box it says for children 3 and up. but my mom had the biggest grin on her face when i saw it in my room for the first time. i don't understand how sometimes she can be excited and other times she's not and how she puts me down for being excited.
no i'm not part of the online baby shower. what's that? thank you for the compliment kristy. how is your back holding up? ↑ |
I think your Mom will change her mind once she see;s her grandchild she will be changed for sure.
As long as you love it and care for it ,that is something to celebrate a new life is always a celebration.
Best Wishes. ↑ |
