Maybe, your mom can't afford it and needs time to save up? Or, she might really want you to be on good terms with your extended family. Being on good terms with family and knowing people is good for a child.
As expensive as baby showers are, that's actually not the case. My mom bought my husband and I a 72 count box of diapers off our registry, she is very excited about her first grandchild:))) she came over today and painted my babies room. I can't stand my extended family because over the past few years, up until a year ago, I attended family reunions every summer. Unfortunately, I had several cousins, aunts, and uncles say stuff about me behind my back. By the time my husband entered the picture, they started making untrue negative comments about him. It tore me to pieces that my family would stoop so low and since then, I haven't returned to another family reunion since. When I brought up the idea of a baby shower to my mom, she made a good point that I stopped seeing them, why would I expect them to buy me gifts? After careful thinking, a baby shower with extended family was a huge turnoff
Is it normal to feel alone after not receiving a baby shower?
