and why didn't the husband of the lady-getting-a-"semi surprise"-party-thrown-for-her know about this?

why does it seem greedy for immediate family to throw the shower? they're not going to benefit from it. i could see if the woman was throwing HERSELF a shower, but what's wrong with say, your mom throwing you one? every one i've been to, including my own, the woman's mother threw.

Baby showers should not be surprise (or even semi-surprise) parties! What were you thinking? It's not about you, dear. And it was your choice if you spent too much money... your job is to supply the place and gather the people.

You're an ass for not telling him about it in the first place.

Seriously, no one is required to give anyone else a shower. Technically speaking, since this is your sister, you shouldn't be hosting the shower any way. Its bad manners. Your brother-in-law needs a swift kick in the junk for his total lack of manners. Are they going to be upset when they don't get all of their super expensive items on the registry? Serious entitlement issues.

YDI for not telling your brother in law about the baby shower. u should have told him for so many reasons. I highly doubt he would have ruined the surprise for your sister. and for the idiots who keep commenting on the 'very pregnant' thing it means she is very far along as in 8 months or whatever as opposed to only a couple months pregnant. dumbfucks criticising on the most stupid shit.

Baby showers are stupid anyway. It's like welfare. It rewards people for popping out kids, which any idiot can do. I mean, 14 year olds do it. Plus babies are ugly and undeserving of any recognition.

wtf? when his mouth moves then yours ceases to work? stand up for yourself.

why didnt you let him in on the surprise?

What's the difference between pregnant and very pregnant? More than one child?
