Here's a crazy idea wicked22. Have a get together with your friends/family without any premise besides having a good time. If your friends and family like to get together so much why do you have to have a specific reason for the party? Baby showers are to welcome FTM's into motherhood. The shower itself is a gift for the MTB. If your friends and family don't offer to throw you a party, they are the awful ones. 2 of my girlfriends threw me a shower for my first. They kept asking me my opinion. Some things I gave a little input, like requesting a fruit pizza, but most of the time I told them I would be happy with whatever they did. My shower was very nice and I appreciate all the hard work they put into it. DNW to stress over planning my own party.
Last post then i'm don't for the night. You are experiencing fist pregnancy, or graduating college, or celebrating a milestone birthday like 21. You have a great group of friends and love your family. For whatever the reason no one has offered to host or instead whats to plan a party with you to celebration what is considered a big event in your life. Your telling me that because no one offered to host that celebration or someone want to plan with you but not on there own playing hostess the person who wants to celebrate should just sit at home because throwing their own celebration or helping with it would be tacky. I'm going to go with door number 2 plan my own party or plan it with my family/friends and have a great time with the people that want to celebrate with me. I cant count the number of times I've had invites to birthdays or graduations or showers that the main person didn't handle on their own or have a hand in the planning process. Its better than sitting at home twiddling your thumbs doing nothing unless that's what you want in the first place. also its not about gifts i repeat not about gift it about getting together with the people you love and have fun with and celebrating a happy time in your life if that's what you want to do. But i guess me and every one i know or the people that do that in general are just tacky for not wanting to solely rely on other people to plan parties for us. ok i'm done i promise, little man it talking up a storm and trying to get into things he shouldn't. oh the joys of learning to crawl and shoving everything you can get a hold of in your mouth.
You seriously haven't celebrated your birthday with friends at any point in your adult life?
I haven't had a birthday party since I turned 21 many moons ago. I buy myself a new pair of shoes and my husband takes me out to dinner. Because getting older is something everyone does, it's not unique.
1) You and your life event is soooo important that no one wants to throw you a party? Like, no one can even call around and be like, "hey guys, wicked22 is graduating, let's all meet at That Place We Like To Go To Eat And Drink? We'll buy dinner and have a good time." Either your friends suck, or you suck.
2) And thanks, @meggo for spelling out exactly why people have been reacting the way they have to this pregnancy. I guess "Oh my god, you can't be serious" and "so do I say congratulations or I'm so sorry?" means "why would you fuck with your already perfect 1 boy 1 girl family?" Never mind that H and I are in a stable, loving relationship with no debt and have planned for 4 kids close in age for years. I've actually started letting people think #3 is an accident because the first few responses were so hurtful, especially from people I love.

I have found the reaction to #3 is less than stellar. We're also planning for 4. I'm sure the reaction to 4 will be worse. Fuck people.

I had no idea people think less of having a third kid. I get that some only want two for themselves, and that's fine, but to be rude towards someone else for it is awful and weird.
