A mum has been labelled 'stuck up' by family after she requested guests only bring one specific item as a present for her baby shower.
She is not a big fan of modern designs on some baby clothes with muted colours and text on them and decided she didn't want somebody bringing something she wasn't keen on.
So she told her guests that they should only bring one thing as a present - and that was nappies.
The mum has another child so she can use a lot of things that she previously bought for them - so wasn't desperate for new clothes or toys.
In the Reddit post, the woman, who remained anonymous, explained: "I am very picky when it comes to design aesthetics. I hate the modern trend of beige and muted colours and tacky text, especially on baby onesies.
"I cannot expect my family and friends who aren't super close to me meticulously pick out baby clothes to my liking as that's completely unreasonable so on the invitations I requested that guests bring nappies only."
She added that at her last baby shower she ended up getting a lot of onesies for her baby that she did not like so she ended up donating them.
"I don't want my loved ones to waste money and I don't want to pretend I like a gift that I don't," she said.
"A few cousins messaged me and said that I was being a bit stuck up and ungrateful by asking guests to only bring nappies. They say that they want to spoil the baby too. I said that the baby needs nappies. They're still upset and I'm going to be honest I don't really see why."
In response, there was a split in opinion among those commenting as some felt she should not have asked for anything in the first place, while others thought she was being practical.
One person sided with her and wrote: "You have every reason to host a party to celebrate your upcoming child and it's never rude to ask people not to buy you something you don't need."
Another added: "You have baby things already so if anyone would like to bring a gift you would prefer nappies. All that is perfectly fine."
While a third, who was less sympathetic, stated: "Frankly, if you have no need for gifts, just don’t have a shower."
