Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom had a baby shower. When it was over, I walked around cleaning up the trash. I saw a card sitting on the table, along with a note to my mom saying, "Better luck with this one." At the moment I'm an only child, and the card was from my grandmother. FML
Today, there was a baby shower for our first child. My hostess invited 75 people. Only 3 people showed up. FML
Today, I went to Seattle with my mom to visit my pregnant sister, only to end up being dragged to a store to buy maternity clothes. The saleswoman apologized to me repeatedly for not having a lounge for the fathers, but congratulated me on the baby. I'm a girl. FML
Today, out of the 35 people invited, only one person showed up to my bridal shower. It was my grandma. FML
Today, my wife invited 45+ people to her baby shower, but literally 4 people came. Now I get to deal with my pregnant wife and her fluctuating hormones. FML
Today, I went on a movie date with a guy. He brought his mom. FML
Today, my mother-in-law invited all my wife’s friends and family, and my family, to her baby shower, well over a 50-60 people. Two people came. FML
Today, at my aunt's wedding, the time for the tossing of the bouquet came and the announcer asked for all the single ladies to gather behind the bride. I was the only one. FML
Today, was my bachelor party. The only people that showed up were my best man and my father. FML
Today, I was reduced to a blubbering mess at my baby shower. My mom bought tons of clothes, bibs, etc. Sounds nice right? Well, they all had sayings like "Daddy’s Little Princess" and "Daddy’s Girl." She knows full well my fiancé quit his job, changed his number, and disappeared without a trace 3 months ago. FML

Are you 12? Why would you let her drag you anywhere?

They're not girl exclusive at all, I'd just hang and eat. But I'm a girl, and I do that anyways. You probably could have just went out for a walk if it was nice out. Maybe your mom wanted someone to take with her and you were the only one!

Just practice for what your wife will drag you to. If you get married that is.

Does anyone actually like baby showers? I'm a girl and my mom has dragged me to them. She doesn't even like going. They're really a waste of time. And it's not practice for anything because not everyone gets married/has kids/is tormented by an awful spouse. The games they play at those things are always atrocious and people only go out of obligation.

Besides the person getting all the gifts, I don't know of anyone who actually enjoys baby showers (or wedding showers for that matter). The games are always idiotic and then, especially if you're female, you get a bunch of strangers asking you if you're going to settle down soon. It's obnoxious to say the least.
