A mum has been left shocked and confused as she was not invited to a baby shower for the baby that she was carrying. The woman took to Reddit to explain that she gave birth in September and there was a baby shower in August but she was shocked to find she had not been invited.
She said: "The baby shower was sometime in August. His aunt decided to throw a baby shower for him. She said it would be a male’s version of a baby shower.
"Men only, but that was a lie. She invited his mother, her daughter (his cousin) and herself of course. She said I wasn’t allowed to come."
The mum could not understand why she was not able to come as she was carrying the baby and his female family members were unable to attend.
Her boyfriend has felt it was out of his control but the author of the post was less than impressed with this.
She wrote: "All my boyfriend said to me that “It was out of his control” I feel like he should’ve stood up for me and said that it didn’t sound fair, that it should be a baby shower for the both of us. Every baby shower I had been to always had both parents."
In addition, the woman felt he has not been completely deserving of a baby shower given his lack of help in some parts of the pregnancy.
She explained: "Also, I didn’t feel like he deserved a party looking like he’s father of the year, because he didn’t even show up to many of my baby appointments except for two of them.
"One being when we found out the gender. It was on my birthday, but he had to leave shortly after the appointment, because he was spending the day with his mom. ON MY BIRTHDAY.
"Also, they lived together! Another appointment he came to was a three hour glucose test, but he spent half that appointment on the phone with his mother."
In response, many have been quick to support the new mum with one saying: "I wish you weren’t linked to this man for the rest of your life, because he’s married to his mom, and you’re the other woman.
While another said: "Who throws a baby shower without the mom-to-be present? And if they just wanted to hang, why couldn't have called the party something else? I'm very confused."
