Baby Showers.... Should guys attend?

Piggy,

My friends thought it was a marvelous idea to invite everyone to their baby showers.
So everyone that decided to breed invited me to their baby showers. I went to a few, and then when I realized I'd rather drink bleach, I stopped going.

They are boring events where everything is baby/family oriented. I do not care for any of that, so what I do is; I get something from their gift registry sent to their house. Baby's R Us have an excellent website, because I'd rather drink Drain Pipe unclogger than to go to that store!

I am happy for my friends and their offspring, but honestly, I have the least amount of interest to go and hear a gaggle of women and toddlers scream!
 
At the last three baby showers I went to here in L.A., half the people in attendance were male. I sometimes get something for the mother as well as the baby. I gave one mother-to-be a black peignoir so that she would have something to throw on in the middle of the night when woken up. It doesn't have to be just for the baby. At the last baby shower, they had a piñata that no one seemed about to break, but when it was my turn, I whacked it so that that it went over the wall into the next yard, scattering goodies in its flight - at least that's what I was told, since I was blindfolded at the time. For another baby I made a patchwork silk comforter from scraps of fabric I had collected from the upholstery department at the company where I worked. The mother said she was going to use it as a throw for her sofa rather than as a baby bedspread. All the silks were muted tones of beige, and so it really didn't look like a baby bedspread, but it was at least soft and pretty.
 
That was the book I was thinking of Sinfulsimon--it's very popular for some reason.

It's cool that you're going to support a co-worker just be sure to have an escape plan prepared beforehand!!

Let us know if you like it!
 
my sister in law follows that book to the letter! (so freaking annoying! hehe)

if in doubt, buy something cute and fluffy
 
Ram, you can be Piggy's date! That way he won't be bored and you'll get to experience the excitement of a babyshower. Enjoy!!
 
Hmm,

Well, I think gay men get sort of a 'free pass' when it comes to baby showers, especially if they are a 'couple'.

Back when I was with Keith, we got invited to THREE of them in as many months. They're mostly 'OK', but it can get a little tedious. But hey, that's what chardonnay is for.... ;)

Go, pigster. it's an experience.

And as far as a gift, hunt down a copy of Mickey Hart's "Music to be Born By" on CD... A gift they'll remember, and you get away for under 20 bucks.
 
Personally, the idea of attending a baby shower is horrible to me. So while there is still some ancient protocol that says the event is primarily for women, I happily excuse myself using the loophole.

I think it is lovely that you want to go. So give it a try for yourself.

No matter what Joshua-me says, there is just not enough Chardonnay around to get me through another one. To me it feels like a celebration of spittle, poop, lactating and stretchmarks.
 
Which is pretty much what I said it would be like.

Glad you went.

One thing that annoyed the hell out of me was the way they wanted everything perfectly placed. The napkins had to face a certain way, the chairs needed to placed around the guest of honor, etc. :##:

Those are called shower nazi's! At least you experienced something new... albeit mildly boring.

Thanks for the update Piggy! Is that your alls library? Your school must be huge.
 
theres hella reasons why to go.. if u like babys, if u like gurlz, if u like prego gurlz, if u like all that 2gether, if u wanna prove ur gay 2 ppl, just go if u really want no big woop.
 
I thought pigs were pink!?

What gift did you bring? I've not encountered shower Nazis here - that would be a bummer. The showers I've been to here were pretty loose and basically just a lot of fun. But then, as I said, half the guests were men.

Glad you went - now you are no longer a baby shower virgin!
