Baby Shower Disappointment

So I don’t know if I’m just being overly sensitive but I’m a bit disappointed in the amount of people coming to my baby shower. I invited around 30 people including the only 6 friends I have. Well out of the 30 only 13 are coming and only two of the people are my friends the rest are family. I know some people are genuinely busy with work they can’t get out of and events for their children, but some of my friends didn’t even tell me a reason. I wouldn’t be this upset about it but I can’t help but feel like this is a really important day and for some people it doesn’t feel like effort was made to come or that I’m not a priority. Idk with my friends sometimes it feels like I’m not really given the same thought as everyone else. Like one of my friends had a bday almost everyone went too then a friend in the same group had a bridal shower that yet again everyone went too. Meanwhile I invite people to my bday or important things like this and no one comes. Idk if I’m just being sensitive and it’s just bad timing but I can’t help but feel sad since this was the last time for a while I will be able to see them.

Show your support

Nope !! Your not being sensitive people don’t show up for you like you show up for them and I had to learn that to so I no longer show up for people who don’t show up for me and they can’t get mad about it either nobody like one sided friendships and that’s why I don’t talk to certain one anymore I always went out my way to be there for someone and it’s okay to be sad but now you know who’s for you and who isn’t!! So don’t respond when they ask to see the baby or anything!

If they don’t prioritize you then that’s their loss. I know it hurts but try to focus on bringing your baby into the world and keeping yourself healthy and happy. Make sure to remember this down the road though, when they inevitably want or need something from you!

Just focus on you and your baby! Make sure your guys are happy and healthy like she said ^^^

I’m sorry that happened I would be sad too 😕 my advice is ditch the one-sided friendships. Make room for quality friends who wouldn’t miss your shower for the world! It took me until my 30s to find those kind of friends.

I’m in the same boat. So I totally understand how you feel!

I didn’t have a baby shower at all and was told by my own mom she couldn’t give me one because my brother decided to get his gf pregnant right after I announced my pregnancy and she’s so invested with his pregnancy. So be happy you have a baby shower with ppl who are coming to support you. My aunt tried to give me her used baby clothes. Some of us are blessed some of us are not. You have a village ready to support you be happy about that
