Update on Second PPD

Wow...just wow. How do people like this function?

[Deleted User] · July 2014

Sounds like you were the only one brave enough to say no, this isn't right, I won't be a BM.

jynxiie · July 2014

I read this with my jaw wide open.

That is insane.

I mean the second PPD is insane enough...the fact that she is having ANOTHER SHOWER is basically reason to commit her to a mental institution. Why would people give her gifts for this? Especially people that were at the last "wedding" and/or the actual wedding? You don't get gifts just because you found a way to STAY married for 8 years. That would be like me calling my parents and being like "hey, where are my gifts for being out on my own supporting myself for the past 9 years? Don't i deserve something for doing what a vast majority of adults also do in their lifetimes?"

I laughed so hard at this. I say this ALL the time when people are rude.

I want to say I can't believe she is having another shower, but with what a crazy, living-on-her-own-planet person she seems to be, I'm really not.

I am SO proud of you!

I was so shocked when I read the first thread, but now I just can't stop laughing...

When I told DH about this, his response was that they need to have a TARDIS at this "wedding" since apparently, they're going back in time.

That's it! I'm gonna get her a plushie TARDIS! Or a TARDIS cookie jar! She won't at all get the joke but I totally will!

H's crazy aunt once gave him a Dave and Busters point card with exactly three points on it. I'd say that could work here.

I have a TARDIS wastebasket that we used for cards at our wedding.....It makes the TARDIS noises. Loudly.

You could jam the On/OFF switch and glue the battery pack down.

scrunchythief · July 2014

When we've traveled with our TARDIS cookie jar, the lid open and shuts repeatedly, making the noises each time.

scrunchythief · July 2014

Also...do these people have children? Not that I'm expecting logic at this point but, how on Earth would you explain this to them, if you did?

No, thank god, no kids. There was a time a few years back she thought she was pregnant on a near monthly basis, sometimes twice a month, but they have yet to procreate which is probably a very good thing.

natswild · July 2014

maybe get her a gift card with a penny on it

Or 8. For every year she's been married.

"You stand out with my friends anyway"

That wasn't very polite. I know it probably didn't hurt your feelings but it kinda hurt my feelings for you.

Oooh! Is she into really childish things (of course she is)? You can get the same gift you give kids with parents you hate,
A $15 gift card to build-a-bear. What does that buy at build-a-bear? Pretty much nothing. Forces her to pay the other $60+ to finish the bear.

I like this game, let's think of more great shower gifts:

1. the contents of your junk drawer (a paperclip, soy sauce packets from the chinese food, that one really stick penny with lint on it, and single rechargeable battery without a partner,and that pile of used birthday candles).

2. the ugliest piece of ceramic at the good will store you can find, but with the cheapest silk flowers hot glued to it.

3. a 2013 kitten calendar

4. An entire scrapbook of expired coupons.

5. a can of corn

6. The incredibly-racist and terrible aunt Jemima Tijuana bible.

7. literally the half-eaten bag of chips from her own kitchen.

8. The first movie you grab from the $5 walmart movie bin

9. a 80's how-to manual for something she doesn't have.

To keep with the Disney theme:

Bring Lithium to the shower. JFC...

This whole chick's life is a giant do-over.

Now with Archer on my mind, this is what I think of:

suorange · July 2014

I wonder what she's going to come up with in another few years. ("Oh actually that last 'wedding' wasn't batshit crazy enough to go with the rest of my lifestyle so we're doing a re-re-redo. Also, presents.")

goldchocobo.defunct635829490514903826 · July 2014

Bring a $600 pewter cake plate. I know @flantastic has one she doesn't know what to do with. It's also kinda wonky, just like Ursula.

I like this game too.

a) Expired Kohl's Cash (or City cash, or Express bucks, or whatever the fuck)

b) Movies that came out the year they ACTUALLY got married (my top pick would be "Deja Vu"with Denzel, pun intended)

c) Something from Salvation Army/Goodwill that looks like it *could* have been high end, but doesn't go with their decor even a little bit

d) Nicest option- a collage of their real wedding or first PPD

e) A fruitcake, ugly christmas sweater, or white elephant gift that sucked and have been sitting in someone's closet.

This is a really fun idea.

I'd pick the always classic inflatable unicorn horn for cats. This gift is even better if she does not have a cat.

Lots of personalized stuff (cutting board, pint glasses, pewter cake stand), personalized with someone else's initials.
