The family is more responsible for buying baby sho 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago
Hello everyone, I heard today that it is typically the responsibility of the baby Mother's side to buy the major baby shower gifts That is bed, stroller, bassinet, car seat, etc. and it less of a responsibility for fathers family side to buy those sorts of major gifts. What do you think about this? Can anyone have an idea about the baby shower gift then help me? Thanks a lot Diapees Andwipees

I'm not sure what the question is. I don't know of any protocol issues with baby shower gifts. If the prospective parents haven't registered anywhere they should expect a bunch of toasters. Well, maybe bottle and wipe warmers. It really is best to go with a registered item if you don't have "just the most perfect gift imaginable" in mind.

I feel the only "traditional" responsibility for the mom-to-be's mother was to actually HOST the event. But even that is generally handled by a best friend (in my experience).

But a baby shower is a girl thing. Girls are gonna do what girls gonna do. Dad's MIGHT have a separate Dad Party (we wouldn't attend if you call it anything else), but not likely. All the guys are just gonna go out or watch football while the ladies are doin' their thing. As dudes do.

Dad involvement with this event is also dependent on whether it's a first born or not... is it even proper to have a BS for subsequent children?
