Update on Second PPD

Re: Update on Second PPD

  • Wait... she's having a shower?  In your original post, didn't you say... "And yeah, there's a honeyfund because "We have all the material good we need!".  If they already have everything they need, WHY THE HELL would she need ANOTHER shower?

    Oh yeah, she definitely seems like a piece of work. I'm anxious to hear how her "perfect wedding" turns out.

    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.
    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.


    Please do these. Any of these!!


    Ooh!  I have an old giftcard that has $2.18 left on it!  That would be perfect! 

    Although, I really do love the idea of collage or photo album of previous wedding photos.  Or even better, a large poster size print of original wedding photo.

    Because her friends WANT to throw her a shower!!! She's really just letting them do it out of the kindness of her heart don't you see?

    *insert giant eye roll here*
  • I can send you the giant athletic tape ball I have from playing soccer in high school? It is always appreciated at our white elephant parties, but somehow never leaves my house...

    Bleck, like I "want" to go to a baby shower this weekend. I like the mom-to-be and am happy to show up and support/congratulate her with a gift, but I hate shower games and I know the hostess is planning several. VOMIT.

    I would like to know what her mom thinks. Is she offended since the first PPD was her plan? Does anyone in your family actually think this is okay?

    I know my dad thinks it's insane. That's a really good question though, I don't talk to my aunt (her mom)...I don't really talk to most of that side of the family. But I'm going to have to investigate some.

    Please do!  I feelike this is a car wreck I can't look away from.  Also, I passed by this before, but how on earth is it possible to think you've gotten pregnant twice in the same month?  Although I guess expecting this lady to know the basics of the female reproductive cycle is too much.
  • This is the thread that keeps on giving.

     

    I literally cannot wait to hear what happens at this "shower" and "wedding."  What is the date on this thing?  i need to set a calendar reminder to come on here for the rundown!

    Not this!!! - some stores take expired Kohl's cash...that's too nice of a gift for this "bride" *eyeroll*
    :kiss: ~xoxo~ :kiss:

  • @photokitty, I've heard that before but my store told me last week when I shopped there that corporate was cracking down on it and to make sure to use it before the expiration.  So it could be the meanest if she thinks they'll take it and then gets to the register only to be shot down ;)

    *****eta, stupid effing quote boxes***

    Still not worth the risk! She might be able to use it and that would be a shame...
    I'm sticking with my original suggestion...8 YEAR OLD BLENDER to match her 8 YEAR OLD MARRIAGE ;-p
    :kiss: ~xoxo~ :kiss:

    I questioned her on it at the time and she just said "It's called ovulating twice in one month, it's how twins happen" and I just let it go. Because you really can't fix that level of stupid.
