Jeremiah Walton baby showers are about celebrating life and the mother as well, not just a birthday party for the baby. And nobody said you have to by your friend a stroller for every kid. even if you can’t buy a gift at all you can still come and celebrate them having a baby with them. everything isn’t materialistic. if you can buy your friend a birthday gift every year, you can get them three or four baby gifts. it’s not that deep. and you are still indulging in whatever food, drinks or games they have at the shower. adrienne is not being extra. it is reasonable to want baby pictures of yourself when you’re little. and she specifically said that her mom wanted one but she was shamed out of it.
suxexa if you’re friend won’t understand that you can’t buy them a gift for any occasion but you still want to be there for them then they aren’t a good friend to begin with
Gifting your pregnant friends and family is fine. Having a party is fine. Expecting gifts and parties is not fine to me... Everyone’s financial situation is not going to line up with when you choose to have your family. It is possible to be excited and supportive without gifts and parties. Appreciate the love and support that you have.
We had something called a “Sprinkle” for my sister when she just had her 2nd baby this past year. It was still a baby shower but on a smaller scale like the gifts were more like diapers, burp clothes, first aid items, sheets versus my shower (also last year) but it was my first child so I all that smaller stuff PLUS the travel system, the changing table dresser, high chair , Everything. I think it just depends on the pregnant women’s wishes and her family But regardless your never obligated to spend outside your budget whether it’s a shower or a sprinkle. Most women (and the baby’s father) appreciate any and all the Support family and friends want to Give.
I don’t mind the shower so much as long as your not expecting expensive gifts each time. Now when you expect me to come to a gender reveal, then a baby shower and a meet the baby party and bring a gift each time. Nah. I’m out.
@@cmtaylor531 Well you shouldn't be expecting expensive gifts whether it's the first or third child. It would be nice but that shouldnt be anyones expectations for a shower
For whomever reads this message: know that we can do all things thru christ that strengthens us! I speak it into existence that you overcome any situation you may be going thru!
I think she wants one but her hubby dont as well as wanting one doesnt mean you're trying or have plans. Women get that urge that baby fever its biological
I asked for my friends to not throw me a shower for my second kid because it is a lot of work and money to throw a shower. I am financially stable and my kids are only two years apart. Moms don’t think about the people who have to spend their hard earned money on them multiple times (wedding shower, wedding (if they are bridesmaids), baby shower, baby shower 2, baby shower 3, etc. Like cmon. Be considerate. Especially for your SINGLE friends. Yes, Loni. They are using you...
Unless you have a rule saying you're only excepting expensive gifts or they have to go out of their way then i dont see the problem. Also, you dont have to go...If I'm invited to a baby shower and I know i dont have the money for a gift I'll let them know that, give them a card and call it a day.. Or hell a pack of diapers always comes in handy it doesn't have to be expensive or a lot of work. you can have a baby shower right in your living room
I really think it depends on how far apart your kids are and there gender. Like I'm a mom of 2 young boys they are only 18 mos apart. So we had a baby shower only for my 1st son. So when I found out that my 2nd one was also a lil boy we just did a very small dinner and ONLY ask for diapers and wipes and that was it because we literally still had everything we needed because they were close in age and same gender. Now we don't plan on having anymore kids until at least our 1st son starts school so with our 3rd pregnancy (hopefully a healthy lil girl) if it's a girl I definitely would want to have another baby shower. Also I think if someone's has just for example 2 kids and they are like 7 years apart then I don't see anything wrong with them having a baby shower for BOTH of her kids.
@@mollyshaj.3888 Right?... I don't see what the problem is ..if you don't want to buy a gift then don't go..simple.... I wonder if people gripe about getting a gift for their friends' birthday....or anniversary (every year)..it's not that deep..
wayNAY83 so the friends are throwing the baby shower? Why don’t the friends ask the mom first and if they don’t want to spend their money on the baby then they shouldn’t offer to throw a baby shower for them
I don’t know if I’m the only one but I usually insist on buying everything on my own anyway. It’s just how I am as the oldest sibling - more independent. I’m also okay with having an intimate dinner with my husband and family.
I’m gonna celebrate every single one of my kids when I have them. They’re different people so they each need to be celebrated & it’s a different experience each time. Adrienne isn’t lying. My older sister has so many albums with baby pics, I have never seen my baby pic. I’ve seen picture of me when I was 2-3 but no baby pictures.
Yeah but if you have already 2 children, sorry but why should anyone be responsible for YOU to buy gifts for every one of them?!! It was YOUR decision to have 2nd or a 3rd, then you buy them their clothes?! I don't get this mentality that dumps their own problems (of their own choice!) Onto others and expect those others to pay the bill! It's a bit, rude, and inconsiderate frankly! People don't have the money to buy you everything all the time, bridal shower, wedding, baby no. 1, baby no. 2.... come on! 🤨🤨🧐 You mostly will have everything you need to care by your 3rd child, if you chose to have one, and it's not anyone's responsibility but *yours* to provide for it! Have a party, sure, whatever! But don't expect or tell people that they must bring gifts! No hell no! Not for a 3rd child for crying out loud!
Why can’t the expectant mom just pay for her own (2nd or 3rd) shower and invite friends and family to celebrate with her? Nobody thought of that? Just me? Ok 🤷🏽♀️
Bernice Bravo it is my understanding that your first one should be thrown/put on by friends and family - however manufacturers after that, you’re responsible for 💁🏽♀️
No offense but you must not be a mother because having kids is expensive AS HELLLL!!! I have 2 sons 18 mos apart so I definitely know but I love my son's to death and would not trade them for ANYTHING! I appreciated every single one of my baby's gifts.
Jessica Hardy “congratulations” but that’s not people’s responsibility to buy your child things. You seem like the type to put expensive ass gifts on your registry
I absolutely love baby showers and even love to help host them but people shouldn't get all entitled. It's really just a treat because your baby is your responsibility. As far as I know, showers were originally for the first baby. These days, folks expect gifts for gender reveals, baby showers, christening/baptism and first birthdays, etc. Let's not milk it. Another thing: Why are some grandmother's having showers? Too much!
@@kendra415 I got an invitation for a work colleague's "grandma shower" . I was shocked to find out that it wasn't the first time our office had done that. But I did read online that some expectant mothers take offence so I'm not sure if it will become a trend. Hopefully not. 😁
Had the opposite experience as A, my baby sisters got everything and all the pics...my folks were too broke and technology wasn't all that advanced back when my older sis + I came along
Traditionally, baby showers are for NEW parents to help shower them with things they'll need. I have been to baby showers for people who had children 10-15 years apart so they have another shower since they no longer have things for babies. Baby showers aren't for celebrating the child per se, as much as they are for the mom. I agree with tradition and I think it's a little rude to expect the community to shower you with gifts EVERY time you decide to have a baby. But you do you 🤷🏾♀️
The thing is...if your friend is single or doesnt have children & spending all this money on you, are you spending money on her as well to show her how much you Appreciate her?? People tend to forget their Good Friends sometimes.
Of course someone is gonna be fine with a get together where someone else hosts the food and drinks and party favors that they get to come and consume the get together they put together. It’s proper manners to bring something/contribute to a get together. In the case of a baby shower, everything is already there. It’s not hard to bring a pack of diapers. 🤷♀️
I agree with tamera, “Depending on how far apart they are.” I also think having a baby shower for two boys in a row close to the same age is unnecessary as well! I say that because you mostly will have everything you need. I’m pregnant with my second boy rn and my first is almost 2. I still have clothes all sizes, a walker, etc. I just know ima need new diapers. So I suggested to my husband we have a diaper party instead of a baby shower. Now, when we have our daughter, I will most definitely have another baby shower because SHE will need girly clothes and everything pink (which we have none of).
Yeah buy if you have already 2 children, sorry but why should anyone be responsible for YOU to buy her girly clothes??!! It was YOUR decision to have her, then you buy her her clothes?! I don't get this mentality that dumps their own problems (of their own choice!) Onto others and expect those others to pay the bill! It's a bit, rude, and inconsiderate frankly! People don't have the money to buy you everything all the time, bridal shower, wedding, baby no. 1, baby no. 2.... come on! 🤨🤨🧐 You mostly will have everything you need to care for your 3rd child, if you chose to have one, and it's not anyone's responsibility but yours to provide for it!

@@bluebellcrushedvelvet 😅 this comment is over a year old, my opinion is still my opinion. I’ll never EXPECT someone to bring a gift. It’s always an option in my life. You definitely took what I said way out of context.
@@bluebellcrushedvelvet people love to spoil people and their new babies so that’s completely up to them! I know once I have a girl the people in my life are MORE THAN READY TO BUY HER ALL THE GIRLY THINGS!!!
@@ItstherealCrystal I literally said that I said and EVERYTHING I needed to say, if you STILL don't get the point (which issue beyond clear) than, sorry it's not my problem! People 👏🏻 don't 👏🏻 always 👏🏻 have👏🏻 the👏🏻 budget 👏🏻for 👏🏻ALL 👏🏻your 👏🏻kids!!!
Alot of what people say about how they're going to raise their kids befire they have kids is very different to how they end up raising them, i thought i was gonna be bestfriends with my sons cause i was a young mum, oh how i was wrong 😂 its a huge learning curve raising children.
You meet new people though that didn’t go to the first one. Those same friends you been had can get something small and inexpensive. I have no problem with that. I make new money so by the time the next baby comes I’m excited to get a new gift, just may be smaller this time. It’s excited to me, I love babies! However don’t expect your family and friends to keep paying to put the event together that’s very expensive! 😩
Harry G 💀speak for yourself, every member in my family who has a child had/is having a baby shower. Some being very big too. Venues rented out and everything
Harry G who told you it was a new thing ?! First of all baby showers originated in AFRICA (Egypt) Everyone around the world in France, Africa, Spain, Germany does baby showers. It’s been happening for years.
It depends on how many years they’re apart, because I’m not about to keep supporting your habits if you’re getting pregnant every other year. I’m just not doing it😂😂
I’m a middle child, and oldest of twins. My twin sister had a lot of medical issues, and I definitely got a lot less attention. Even now, I’m incredibly independent, and it sticks with me that there were so many things that got missed because of something going on in one of my sister’s lives.
@@jessyblanco nope don't make us all look bad. I didn't have a baby shower after my 3rd baby. & my husband bought everything we needed with the money we would've spent on the shower .
I don’t know why y’all so negative if there is nothing wrong to celebrate the arrival of a baby just like there is nothing wrong celebrating a birthday every year like, what? I’d want a shower for all my kids then I can show that they each got equally celebrated. And people can bring what they want it’s not like you have to buy the most expensive thing there is.
I had 5 girls..after the 3rd child I did not expect anything but a young woman at work walked up to me early in my 4th pregnancy and asked me if I was pregnant and when I said yes..she clapped and walked off..this young girl got all the info on me and threw me a shower at work. I needed it too. I had no baby clothes left..I was grateful but did not expect it..
I'm not having a baby shower for all my kids. The first pregnancy its a girl so I'm have a baby shower for the first. Second pregnancy if its another girl NO I'm NOT HAVING ANOTHER Baby Shower, but if the second one a boy then yes because it a different gender. Even if they close in age or not I'm not having a babyshower for every pregnancy I have. Now If it twins yes I will, BUT we women have to realise yes its a celebration for the baby. Honey especially if they back to back nobody is obligated to buy our kids nothing. When you have a child you have to make sure you buy the baby everything they need because babies can come at anytime. Be grateful for what they do give you. All my babies get celebrated , but not each one having a shower. Before you have a child you better have funds and be prepared. The only safe sex is no sex..
Yes I agree with you!. I'm a mother of 2 young boys they are 18 mos apart. So we definitely had a baby shower for our 1st son but didn't have one for my 2nd son because they are so close in age plus of the same gender. But what I did do was just have a very small dinner/party for my 2nd son and we ONLY ask for diapers and wips because we literally had everything else that we needed for him. Now my kids are now 1 and 2 years old and we don't plan on having anymore kids until at least our oldest starts school. So for my 3rd child (a healthy lil girl hopefully) I definitely would LOVED to have another baby shower obviously because we already have 2 boys and there is no baby girl stuff in the house.
I'm with Adrienne. All kids should be celebrated....Yes gifts should be a big part of the baby shower. I love to give at a time like this. I love giving parents a cushion.
I dealt with what Adrienne went through as a kid too, with a sibling. I have an older brother and he got mostly everything when we were kids and I got the hand me downs from things he didn't want anymore. Whenever a family member bought me something as a gift, for Christmas, etc.. If my older brother liked what I got, my mom made me give that item/thing to him. Was only able to go to events where my brother was attending too, because my mom wasn't gonna be inconvenienced or go out of her way to go to two different events/locations for two different children. My mom would tell me and my brother to pick one location and I'll take you there. We ended up going every where he wanted to go, and I got to pick maybe a couple times a year or something. One time I asked my mom if I could sleep over a friends house during the summer as a kid. She said yes, I can but you got to find a way to get home. I might be busy. I said ok, I'll just walk home. Might I just add I was 9 years old at the time carry a bag, sleeping bag up hill to my place with over 50 lbs on my arms. It took me like 30 minutes to get home from a 5 minute drive because she didn't want to pick me up. I get home and then my older brother ask her, can you drop me at a location across town, she reluctantly tells him. Ok, I will take you. I'm thinking in my head as she tells him yes. You could'n't drive down the street and pick me up, that's like a 5 minute drive, but you can drive 25+ minutes across town to drop my older brother off at another location. Ok, I see how it goes in this family. That's something I would never do with my kids, when I have them. Show favoritism to any child. That is so true what Adrienne is saying, about the eldest child getting everything and every other siblings there after getting the left overs.
My first & second child are 5yrs apart, we did have baby showers for both. Now 8yrs later - we are on baby three, & I personally did not want a baby shower at all. Even though it was a complete shock we were expecting again, we were excited but I was just super overwhelmed & did not want to be bothered lol. We had finally started planning our “dream wedding” before the pregnancy was discovered now that we were in a better financial situation... but once we found out we were expecting we actually decided to use the funds to buy all of our own baby needs/wants instead & hold off on our wedding.
I think you should have one if you want one. If your friends don’t wanna bring you a gift that’s ok; there is no obligation. Especially if they don’t have money for it. Maybe later on they can volunteer their time to help you once the baby comes. It’s all about celebrating the mother along with her baby; no matter how many babies she has.
When we got pregnant with our 2nd. I decided not to have a baby shower because we literally had everything, I mean everything. The great thing about it is, it was all neutral. So even if I had a boy or girl it would of been fine. I do understand wanting to celebrate each child though. If you do have a 2nd or 3rd..... baby shower, ask for gift cards only.
I'm expecting my second child this year and my friends are throwing me a shower/sprinkle. I think all babies should be celebrated. I'd love to see my friends (who I don't see often), and just come together and celebrate. Gifts are appreciated, but not necessary. If you as the mom-to-be already have things from the first/previous kid then a sprinkle is fine. But, like Tamera said, a party to celebrate her and the child is very welcomed.
I think that every baby should be celebrated because they are an blessing so I agree with Tamera. But maybe not all of the guests are financially able to contribute to the shower at that time and later on maybe that person/persons can get the mom to be a present if they want to.
Each baby should be celebrated, especially how hard Mom has to work each time. I have two girls, and by the grace of God, both of my jobs at the time threw me a shower, where if they hadn't I wouldn't have had one at all. Now with my new husband and 8 years after my last daughter, I would appreciate this baby being celebrated because it's his first child. Also, you never know how hard a couple may have worked to bring a life into the world, or how long they may have waited. So just treat every baby the same, even if it's not a "surprise" 💕
3:00 🤣🤣🤣 Yo, my life!! there are NO baby PICTURES OF ME, I literally thought I was adopted...until I went to my grandmothers house and found out they were all with her
I feel showers (bridal and baby) are for first timers -helping people get established. I'll help you the first time, but what did you do with my gift when you're welcoming the 2nd? Don't be throwing my money out knowing you ain't 100 with your birth control! If you can't afford the baby stuff, how are you going to afford the baby?
Just don’t go. I feel like baby showers aren’t meant to for you to buy expensive items. Sure if that’s what you wish & can do that by all means go for it but something small is fine. It’s not set in stone that they need a high chair, car seat etc & you must buy it. You’re not expected to purchase these big things & plus a baby is meant to be celebrated, maybe it was their wish to have multiple babies. Don’t blame it on their bc.
I never said it would hurt me, I said I'd help with the first kid for the parents to start getting established. So if I buy a stroller or a crib, I don't want to see it sold when there's a chance they'll have more and the parents put the items back on their new kids registry. I'm not talking about cheap items like wash clothes and baby wipes that obviously should be new.
No one in this corner was asking for advice on whether or not to go. I don't know nor do I care how others do or buy for baby showers, but people who know me know that I buy a decent necessity gift for the first shower such as a stroller, crib, changing table, etc. With that tidbit, I expect that item to be kept and not on the registry if there's potential for another kid especially if baby #1 only been out of the crib for a few months and now baby #2 is on the way. Some people abuse showers and I'm not talking petty items like onesies and books.
@@thesoonerfan1285 Then don't get them a stroller or high chair next time, get a couple of nice outfits and diapers. At showers everyone helps out even if it's just bringing some food or being in charge of activities and the flow. I don't understand you and Loni's mindset about this.
I think it might be that some people look at showers to provide things for some people that may not be able to afford alot of the things they need and this is a way for them to get them.Tam being considered rich some people may have been feeling like you hsve nerve you dont really " need" anything.You can afford to buy whatever you may want and need.lol
"Don't invite these type of people then!" I love how Tamera is being more outspoken and assertive! Yas! dont let Loni or the others run you over and belittle your stance anymore!
I’m having my 3rd. My kids have 5 year gaps between them. I had my first two with my ex-husband, a girl & boy. I’m having a boy with my boyfriend, his first son. He didn’t have a baby shower with either daughter. I think it’s more for him and his family. I’m incredibly happy if anyone wants to celebrate my baby and I never expect any gifts, prescience, games & food are all fun.
I’m pregnant with my second baby, my firstborn is 2 years old, and we’re still doing a “baby sprinkle”. A sprinkle is a smaller, more intimate version of a shower. My first is a boy and my second is a girl. I definitely wanted a sprinkle to get more girl-related gifts. Also, when my firstborn turned 1, we gave away a lot of stuff to friends who were expecting, so we actually need some new baby items. It’s not over the top as the first but I think it’s totally fine to have a shower. You never know what the parents need. And it’s nice to celebrate the coming of a new baby regardless.
I think baby showers should include fun times for the family and friends to celebrate the arrival of a new child or children. But, if the parents already have kids, maybe they don't need all the items they would for baby #1, but they still need things. Most of all, support from everyone!
I feel like it doesn’t take much to celebrate a baby coming... if your presence is what all that person is asking for and they are not emphasizing on bringing gifts then just come 😂 there’s things called hand me downs for s reason... if you WANT TO bring something for the baby to be... then do that... but you shouldn’t feel obligated !
Some of y’all sound bitter as hell. Society has definitely put some shame on people having multiple baby showers which is why this is even a topic. Having a baby is A LOT so I’m not mad at anyone who chooses to celebrate that however they see fit. You can also choose not to attend 🤷🏾♀️. Additionally, people are saying that expectant parents are greedy, want gifts, using people blah blah- babies are expensive, parents will be taking care of that child for a long time, your one gift is only going to go so far 🙄.
Some people have 5 or 6 kids. I'm not spending all my money on them. Even gas can by expensive if they live far away. So...... Throw all the parties you want but I'm not comming after baby #2.
Miss Honey Never Came you don’t have to spend all your money on them. You can buy some socks or a onesie and/or some diapers and keep it moving. That cost less than what you’d spend at happy hour.
erica simone I think if you’re going to go, you shouldn’t go empty handed and I think people can have as many as they want especially if they are spread apart in time and the baby was created with a different person. If you don’t want to go, then just don’t go. And the people throwing it shouldnt be mad if people don’t come. Simple.
What is with them being so rude to Jeannie every conversation & cutting her off? Also why does Loni have to make faces when someone has an opposing opinion? I think Amanda may be rubbing off on her...
I agree with Adrienne and Tamera all the way. Each child should be celebrated, women go through enough and then pregnancy?? Gurl, I’ll get you the diapers, blankets, baby food, etc.
I love how Jeanie went so deep lmao “and that’s why Adrienne likes taking pictures now”
Damie Cotto Jeannie always 😂😂😂 love it !
That could be why shes like that.There are many things that we do that are triggered by something in the pass or experiences period.

We had something called a “Sprinkle” for my sister when she just had her 2nd baby this past year. It was still a baby shower but on a smaller scale like the gifts were more like diapers, burp clothes, first aid items, sheets versus my shower (also last year) but it was my first child so I all that smaller stuff PLUS the travel system, the changing table dresser, high chair , Everything.

"I have 3 kids"
I think she wants one but her hubby dont as well as wanting one doesnt mean you're trying or have plans. Women get that urge that baby fever its biological
Who remembers when they talked about this the first time?
I do !
Yup!
I asked for my friends to not throw me a shower for my second kid because it is a lot of work and money to throw a shower. I am financially stable and my kids are only two years apart. Moms don’t think about the people who have to spend their hard earned money on them multiple times (wedding shower, wedding (if they are bridesmaids), baby shower, baby shower 2, baby shower 3, etc. Like cmon. Be considerate. Especially for your SINGLE friends. Yes, Loni. They are using you...
Unless you have a rule saying you're only excepting expensive gifts or they have to go out of their way then i dont see the problem. Also, you dont have to go...If I'm invited to a baby shower and I know i dont have the money for a gift I'll let them know that, give them a card and call it a day.. Or hell a pack of diapers always comes in handy it doesn't have to be expensive or a lot of work. you can have a baby shower right in your living room
I really think it depends on how far apart your kids are and there gender. Like I'm a mom of 2 young boys they are only 18 mos apart. So we had a baby shower only for my 1st son. So when I found out that my 2nd one was also a lil boy we just did a very small dinner and ONLY ask for diapers and wipes and that was it because we literally still had everything we needed because they were close in age and same gender. Now we don't plan on having anymore kids until at least our 1st son starts school so with our 3rd pregnancy (hopefully a healthy lil girl) if it's a girl I definitely would want to have another baby shower. Also I think if someone's has just for example 2 kids and they are like 7 years apart then I don't see anything wrong with them having a baby shower for BOTH of her kids.
@@mollyshaj.3888 Right?... I don't see what the problem is ..if you don't want to buy a gift then don't go..simple.... I wonder if people gripe about getting a gift for their friends' birthday....or anniversary (every year)..it's not that deep..
@@mollyshaj.3888 You are totally right
wayNAY83 so the friends are throwing the baby shower? Why don’t the friends ask the mom first and if they don’t want to spend their money on the baby then they shouldn’t offer to throw a baby shower for them
I don’t know if I’m the only one but I usually insist on buying everything on my own anyway. It’s just how I am as the oldest sibling - more independent. I’m also okay with having an intimate dinner with my husband and family.
I like how Jeannie doesn’t over y’all the other girls-- she tends to get her point across in a very clear and concise way!
Was the rumour about Jeannie being pregnant true?
"Baby release party"
*WHATTT* 😂😂😂🙃
I’m gonna celebrate every single one of my kids when I have them. They’re different people so they each need to be celebrated & it’s a different experience each time. Adrienne isn’t lying. My older sister has so many albums with baby pics, I have never seen my baby pic. I’ve seen picture of me when I was 2-3 but no baby pictures.
Yeah but if you have already 2 children, sorry but why should anyone be responsible for YOU to buy gifts for every one of them?!! It was YOUR decision to have 2nd or a 3rd, then you buy them their clothes?!
I don't get this mentality that dumps their own problems (of their own choice!) Onto others and expect those others to pay the bill! It's a bit, rude, and inconsiderate frankly! People don't have the money to buy you everything all the time, bridal shower,
wedding,
baby no. 1,
baby no. 2.... come on! 🤨🤨🧐
You mostly will have everything you need to care by your 3rd child, if you chose to have one, and it's not anyone's responsibility but *yours* to provide for it!
Have a party, sure, whatever! But don't expect or tell people that they must bring gifts! No hell no!
Not for a 3rd child for crying out loud!
Why can’t the expectant mom just pay for her own (2nd or 3rd) shower and invite friends and family to celebrate with her? Nobody thought of that? Just me? Ok 🤷🏽♀️
Isn't this how it's always done? Now I'm mad bc we paid for our 1st & 2nd baby shower. Nobody threw it for us! Lol
@@bernicebravo12 Right family/father help I want to plan my party outfit etc. Friends come celebrate the baby coming
Samantha Murphy-Keller they don’t do that? I thought everyone did that 😂
Bernice Bravo it is my understanding that your first one should be thrown/put on by friends and family - however manufacturers after that, you’re responsible for 💁🏽♀️
Jasmin Valenciano same girl, same 🤷🏽♀️
A lot of people do have baby showers just to receive gifts just is annoying
jotam J that’s the point 🙄
jotam J Isn't that the point? To "shower" the "baby"?? Tf🤨
No offense but you must not be a mother because having kids is expensive AS HELLLL!!! I have 2 sons 18 mos apart so I definitely know but I love my son's to death and would not trade them for ANYTHING! I appreciated every single one of my baby's gifts.
Jessica Hardy “congratulations” but that’s not people’s responsibility to buy your child things. You seem like the type to put expensive ass gifts on your registry
A lot of women have babies without the marriage just for attention. That part too.
I absolutely love baby showers and even love to help host them but people shouldn't get all entitled. It's really just a treat because your baby is your responsibility. As far as I know, showers were originally for the first baby. These days, folks expect gifts for gender reveals, baby showers, christening/baptism and first birthdays, etc. Let's not milk it.
Another thing: Why are some grandmother's having showers? Too much!
Definitely agree with you. This is the first time I heard of Grandmom showers, that's really a trip. 😂
Yes! This part!
Private Person agree 100%! These gender reveals are almost as big as the showers 🤦🏽♀️ I guess to each is their own.
Yes! I hate when people have gender reveals, showers and expect gifts for both...NO
@@kendra415 I got an invitation for a work colleague's "grandma shower" . I was shocked to find out that it wasn't the first time our office had done that. But I did read online that some expectant mothers take offence so I'm not sure if it will become a trend. Hopefully not. 😁
Had the opposite experience as A, my baby sisters got everything and all the pics...my folks were too broke and technology wasn't all that advanced back when my older sis + I came along

Traditionally, baby showers are for NEW parents to help shower them with things they'll need. I have been to baby showers for people who had children 10-15 years apart so they have another shower since they no longer have things for babies. Baby showers aren't for celebrating the child per se, as much as they are for the mom. I agree with tradition and I think it's a little rude to expect the community to shower you with gifts EVERY time you decide to have a baby. But you do you 🤷🏾♀️
In my culture, having kids is no big deal. When you get pregnant, you get ‘what took you so long?’
The thing is...if your friend is single or doesnt have children & spending all this money on you, are you spending money on her as well to show her how much you Appreciate her?? People tend to forget their Good Friends sometimes.
That's Loni's beef. She said in the past that she doesn't like feeling used by friends to buy things for their kids when they decided to have them
It's sad when it's fine one way, but not reciprocated
The way Jeannie said “ WHAT” @ 4:35 has me soooooooo dead 💀 attitude and all 😂😂
I’ve heard of baby sprinkles. I feel like after the first one it can’t be a surprise anymore though
Exactly Lonnie. I'm fine with a get together just like Amanda's friend did because it's just a lot of money. And that's a lot to ask of people.
Loni*
Of course someone is gonna be fine with a get together where someone else hosts the food and drinks and party favors that they get to come and consume the get together they put together.
It’s proper manners to bring something/contribute to a get together. In the case of a baby shower, everything is already there. It’s not hard to bring a pack of diapers. 🤷♀️
I agree with tamera, “Depending on how far apart they are.” I also think having a baby shower for two boys in a row close to the same age is unnecessary as well! I say that because you mostly will have everything you need. I’m pregnant with my second boy rn and my first is almost 2. I still have clothes all sizes, a walker, etc. I just know ima need new diapers. So I suggested to my husband we have a diaper party instead of a baby shower. Now, when we have our daughter, I will most definitely have another baby shower because SHE will need girly clothes and everything pink (which we have none of).
Yeah buy if you have already 2 children, sorry but why should anyone be responsible for YOU to buy her girly clothes??!! It was YOUR decision to have her, then you buy her her clothes?!
I don't get this mentality that dumps their own problems (of their own choice!) Onto others and expect those others to pay the bill! It's a bit, rude, and inconsiderate frankly! People don't have the money to buy you everything all the time, bridal shower,
wedding,

Not for a 3rd child for crying out loud!
@@bluebellcrushedvelvet 😅 this comment is over a year old, my opinion is still my opinion. I’ll never EXPECT someone to bring a gift. It’s always an option in my life. You definitely took what I said way out of context.
@@bluebellcrushedvelvet people love to spoil people and their new babies so that’s completely up to them! I know once I have a girl the people in my life are MORE THAN READY TO BUY HER ALL THE GIRLY THINGS!!!

Anyone else here think Adrienne would be an amazing mumma bear? She has that real good maternal energy!! ❤❤🥰🙌👏
I believe she’ll be a the kind of mother that’s friends with their kids. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but also dangerous at the same time lol
Alot of what people say about how they're going to raise their kids befire they have kids is very different to how they end up raising them, i thought i was gonna be bestfriends with my sons cause i was a young mum, oh how i was wrong 😂 its a huge learning curve raising children.
Oowwwieee yall peeped Tamera's eyeroll at 1:48 !?! 😅😅 yassss tamera stand yo ground! Lmao
You meet new people though that didn’t go to the first one. Those same friends you been had can get something small and inexpensive. I have no problem with that. I make new money so by the time the next baby comes I’m excited to get a new gift, just may be smaller this time. It’s excited to me, I love babies!
However don’t expect your family and friends to keep paying to put the event together that’s very expensive! 😩
😂😂😂 "make new 💰"
Love XOXO That’s true about the guests being different! I didn’t even think about that.
Come on Loni and Amanda please allow mother’s thier joy....it’s ok to give baby showers for your love ones and friends
Kenny Ray Amanda was not opposed to baby showers. Loni was the only one hatin in this clip
Amanda was not opposed.
It was just Loni
My fault Family
👌🏽👋🏽
Thank you Loni! Yes Tamera but get that yourself, you chose this life and are mature and secure enough to understand this 😘
Tam, eight months in "yes I want a party!!!". Just celebrate the pain I'm enduring 😂😂😂 😂
*Amanda's hair 😍*
In Britain we don't have baby showers, just a relaxed afternoon tea. So I personally find baby showers pointless
yes!! We don't really do baby showers, I think it's an American thing that's making its way to the UK recently.
Also, we do 'wetting the baby's head' but that's just an excuse for the father and his friends to get wasted😂
Harry G 💀speak for yourself, every member in my family who has a child had/is having a baby shower. Some being very big too. Venues rented out and everything
@@tianna3622 it's a new thing mate, not British tradition. American culture does leak into Britain as years go on.
Harry G who told you it was a new thing ?! First of all baby showers originated in AFRICA (Egypt) Everyone around the world in France, Africa, Spain, Germany does baby showers. It’s been happening for years.
It depends on how many years they’re apart, because I’m not about to keep supporting your habits if you’re getting pregnant every other year. I’m just not doing it😂😂
Lmao no different from a birthday lol. We show love then too.
@@hellacrazyvideosproduction8441 Nobody has a choice but to have a birthday.
I’m a middle child, and oldest of twins. My twin sister had a lot of medical issues, and I definitely got a lot less attention. Even now, I’m incredibly independent, and it sticks with me that there were so many things that got missed because of something going on in one of my sister’s lives.
... I’d want my wife to be showered, for our babies. Especially in the Latinx community we about the baby showers, we want every gift. 😂😎
Greedy bastards
@@jessyblanco nope don't make us all look bad. I didn't have a baby shower after my 3rd baby. & my husband bought everything we needed with the money we would've spent on the shower .
Stop trying to make Latinx happen. You put yourself to shame..
I know right did my time when i didnt have kids i was buying yawl kids bday shower gifts your turn 💁😂 jpjp
I don’t know why y’all so negative if there is nothing wrong to celebrate the arrival of a baby just like there is nothing wrong celebrating a birthday every year like, what? I’d want a shower for all my kids then I can show that they each got equally celebrated. And people can bring what they want it’s not like you have to buy the most expensive thing there is.
Adrienne needs her own show she the only one with common sense she is beautiful and has it together.
Amanda's Afro Mohawk gave me Life! She was Rocking it! And that Make up. She's so Gorgeous:-)
odunayo majekodunmi ikr! It’s bomb! I have something similar on my channel ☺️
This was a whole HOT MESS - But it was a fun hot mess, I liked this chat :D
That one "NO!!" when Tam was talking Bout getting pregnant again 💀💀💀
I had 5 girls..after the 3rd child I did not expect anything but a young woman at work walked up to me early in my 4th pregnancy and asked me if I was pregnant and when I said yes..she clapped and walked off..this young girl got all the info on me and threw me a shower at work. I needed it too. I had no baby clothes left..I was grateful but did not expect it..
Tam got that Sistuh Sistuh money, she don’t need these flashy new gifts lmao!
Obviously it’s your discretion❗️ I believe that all babies should be showered with love, but ultimately mommas choice 💜
I'm not having a baby shower for all my kids. The first pregnancy its a girl so I'm have a baby shower for the first. Second pregnancy if its another girl NO I'm NOT HAVING ANOTHER Baby Shower, but if the second one a boy then yes because it a different gender. Even if they close in age or not I'm not having a babyshower for every pregnancy I have. Now If it twins yes I will, BUT we women have to realise yes its a celebration for the baby. Honey especially if they back to back nobody is obligated to buy our kids nothing. When you have a child you have to make sure you buy the baby everything they need because babies can come at anytime. Be grateful for what they do give you.
All my babies get celebrated , but not each one having a shower. Before you have a child you better have funds and be prepared. The only safe sex is no sex..
Yes I agree with you!. I'm a mother of 2 young boys they are 18 mos apart. So we definitely had a baby shower for our 1st son but didn't have one for my 2nd son because they are so close in age plus of the same gender. But what I did do was just have a very small dinner/party for my 2nd son and we ONLY ask for diapers and wips because we literally had everything else that we needed for him. Now my kids are now 1 and 2 years old and we don't plan on having anymore kids until at least our oldest starts school. So for my 3rd child (a healthy lil girl hopefully) I definitely would LOVED to have another baby shower obviously because we already have 2 boys and there is no baby girl stuff in the house.
@@mz.monea0866 Yes if a girl definitely a baby shower because its a different gender.
So you're just gonna tell your 2nd child they weren't necessary to have a shower thrown for them?
I'm with Adrienne. All kids should be celebrated....Yes gifts should be a big part of the baby shower. I love to give at a time like this. I love giving parents a cushion.
Tamera is serving vampire/Halloween vibes. Sexy in black🖤 You go girl!
I dealt with what Adrienne went through as a kid too, with a sibling. I have an older brother and he got mostly everything when we were kids and I got the hand me downs from things he didn't want anymore. Whenever a family member bought me something as a gift, for Christmas, etc.. If my older brother liked what I got, my mom made me give that item/thing to him. Was only able to go to events where my brother was attending too, because my mom wasn't gonna be inconvenienced or go out of her way to go to two different events/locations for two different children. My mom would tell me and my brother to pick one location and I'll take you there. We ended up going every where he wanted to go, and I got to pick maybe a couple times a year or something. One time I asked my mom if I could sleep over a friends house during the summer as a kid. She said yes, I can but you got to find a way to get home. I might be busy. I said ok, I'll just walk home. Might I just add I was 9 years old at the time carry a bag, sleeping bag up hill to my place with over 50 lbs on my arms. It took me like 30 minutes to get home from a 5 minute drive because she didn't want to pick me up. I get home and then my older brother ask her, can you drop me at a location across town, she reluctantly tells him. Ok, I will take you. I'm thinking in my head as she tells him yes. You could'n't drive down the street and pick me up, that's like a 5 minute drive, but you can drive 25+ minutes across town to drop my older brother off at another location. Ok, I see how it goes in this family. That's something I would never do with my kids, when I have them. Show favoritism to any child. That is so true what Adrienne is saying, about the eldest child getting everything and every other siblings there after getting the left overs.
I love free food, I like to party, so have as many as you want because I’m not opposed
Lol
My first & second child are 5yrs apart, we did have baby showers for both. Now 8yrs later - we are on baby three, & I personally did not want a baby shower at all. Even though it was a complete shock we were expecting again, we were excited but I was just super overwhelmed & did not want to be bothered lol. We had finally started planning our “dream wedding” before the pregnancy was discovered now that we were in a better financial situation... but once we found out we were expecting we actually decided to use the funds to buy all of our own baby needs/wants instead & hold off on our wedding.
Babies are a blessing, I don't mind celebrating and bringing gifts for baby showers :) moms needs help,stuff is expensive now and days!
I think you should have one if you want one. If your friends don’t wanna bring you a gift that’s ok; there is no obligation. Especially if they don’t have money for it. Maybe later on they can volunteer their time to help you once the baby comes. It’s all about celebrating the mother along with her baby; no matter how many babies she has.
Tameras like LISTEN AS THE ONLY MOTHER HERE 😂 give me that baby shower. I want a shower every time. I like the idea of a baby release party 😂
When we got pregnant with our 2nd. I decided not to have a baby shower because we literally had everything, I mean everything. The great thing about it is, it was all neutral. So even if I had a boy or girl it would of been fine. I do understand wanting to celebrate each child though. If you do have a 2nd or 3rd..... baby shower, ask for gift cards only.
I remember the first time they talked about this topic, Tamar was heated 😂😂
I love Amanda’s look in this one. They all look so nicely coordinated too.
Adrienne’s complex about not having a baby shower is so cute. 🤣
I'm expecting my second child this year and my friends are throwing me a shower/sprinkle. I think all babies should be celebrated. I'd love to see my friends (who I don't see often), and just come together and celebrate. Gifts are appreciated, but not necessary. If you as the mom-to-be already have things from the first/previous kid then a sprinkle is fine. But, like Tamera said, a party to celebrate her and the child is very welcomed.
I didn’t hear ONE thing ONE person said. 😂
Sade T. Exactly
Ikr they were all talking over each other.
Adrienne went tf off 😂😂😂”she got mad Sears photo shoots and i don’t got none” 😂😂😂
when Tamera said South Africa l almost dropped my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...YES WE WATCH AND LOVE YOU GUYS FROM SA.
I think that every baby should be celebrated because they are an blessing so I agree with Tamera. But maybe not all of the guests are financially able to contribute to the shower at that time and later on maybe that person/persons can get the mom to be a present if they want to.
This topic makes me happy that people came up with events like Diaper Showers and only showers for the opposite gender.
Yes! Every kid should be celebrated. I mean to get together and celebrate the pregnancy. Bring gifts or don’t. Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing.
I'm with Loni 100%!
Each baby should be celebrated, especially how hard Mom has to work each time. I have two girls, and by the grace of God, both of my jobs at the time threw me a shower, where if they hadn't I wouldn't have had one at all. Now with my new husband and 8 years after my last daughter, I would appreciate this baby being celebrated because it's his first child. Also, you never know how hard a couple may have worked to bring a life into the world, or how long they may have waited. So just treat every baby the same, even if it's not a "surprise" 💕
Oh lord I feel like baby number 3 coming for Tam 🤭
This the type of show ima watch on youtube once it ends 💕 love it. been here since the beginning & never thought of not watching
I had a shower for my third child BUT I have a 12 yr old & 7 yr old. Lol 😆 #3 was definitely a surprise lol
3:00 🤣🤣🤣 Yo, my life!! there are NO baby PICTURES OF ME, I literally thought I was adopted...until I went to my grandmothers house and found out they were all with her
I feel showers (bridal and baby) are for first timers -helping people get established. I'll help you the first time, but what did you do with my gift when you're welcoming the 2nd? Don't be throwing my money out knowing you ain't 100 with your birth control! If you can't afford the baby stuff, how are you going to afford the baby?
Just don’t go. I feel like baby showers aren’t meant to for you to buy expensive items. Sure if that’s what you wish & can do that by all means go for it but something small is fine. It’s not set in stone that they need a high chair, car seat etc & you must buy it. You’re not expected to purchase these big things & plus a baby is meant to be celebrated, maybe it was their wish to have multiple babies. Don’t blame it on their bc.
Dollar tree haa baby wipes And washclothes. $2 won’t hurt you that much.
I never said it would hurt me, I said I'd help with the first kid for the parents to start getting established. So if I buy a stroller or a crib, I don't want to see it sold when there's a chance they'll have more and the parents put the items back on their new kids registry. I'm not talking about cheap items like wash clothes and baby wipes that obviously should be new.
No one in this corner was asking for advice on whether or not to go. I don't know nor do I care how others do or buy for baby showers, but people who know me know that I buy a decent necessity gift for the first shower such as a stroller, crib, changing table, etc. With that tidbit, I expect that item to be kept and not on the registry if there's potential for another kid especially if baby #1 only been out of the crib for a few months and now baby #2 is on the way. Some people abuse showers and I'm not talking petty items like onesies and books.
@@thesoonerfan1285 Then don't get them a stroller or high chair next time, get a couple of nice outfits and diapers. At showers everyone helps out even if it's just bringing some food or being in charge of activities and the flow. I don't understand you and Loni's mindset about this.
Jeannie hit the nail on the head, this is why Adrienne loves a photo op 🤣🤣
The audiency wasnt feeling Tam 😂
🤣🤣
I think it might be that some people look at showers to provide things for some people that may not be able to afford alot of the things they need and this is a way for them to get them.Tam being considered rich some people may have been feeling like you hsve nerve you dont really " need" anything.You can afford to buy whatever you may want and need.lol
3:50 CELEBRATE ME! 😂lol poor Adrienne, she really wanted a baby shower
"Don't invite these type of people then!" I love how Tamera is being more outspoken and assertive! Yas! dont let Loni or the others run you over and belittle your stance anymore!
i think the MOM should through the baby shower !! so everyone will come to send positive and happy vibes !!
I feel after the second/third .. then you should do a meet and greet instead after they are born
That's what I did after my 3rd baby I was like nah just meet the baby once he is here lol
I’m having my 3rd. My kids have 5 year gaps between them. I had my first two with my ex-husband, a girl & boy. I’m having a boy with my boyfriend, his first son. He didn’t have a baby shower with either daughter. I think it’s more for him and his family. I’m incredibly happy if anyone wants to celebrate my baby and I never expect any gifts, prescience, games & food are all fun.
Yassss Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦 ! Whoop whoop 🙌🏽
Neo representing the south Africans... I feel welcomed now😂
Whoever is reading this you will be successful. Don't let people bring you down.
ADRIENNE!! I FEEL YOU!!! I'm the baby and my sister has albums, I have one that's not even filled.
Every time I see Tia or Tamera, I always think Doja Cat HAS to be their long lost sister!!
Homegirleah right!! And she even has a song about them
I’m pregnant with my second baby, my firstborn is 2 years old, and we’re still doing a “baby sprinkle”. A sprinkle is a smaller, more intimate version of a shower. My first is a boy and my second is a girl. I definitely wanted a sprinkle to get more girl-related gifts. Also, when my firstborn turned 1, we gave away a lot of stuff to friends who were expecting, so we actually need some new baby items. It’s not over the top as the first but I think it’s totally fine to have a shower. You never know what the parents need. And it’s nice to celebrate the coming of a new baby regardless.
People want other people to give them things so they don't have to spend money on their own child so people will say yes
I think baby showers should include fun times for the family and friends to celebrate the arrival of a new child or children. But, if the parents already have kids, maybe they don't need all the items they would for baby #1, but they still need things. Most of all, support from everyone!
I feel like it doesn’t take much to celebrate a baby coming... if your presence is what all that person is asking for and they are not emphasizing on bringing gifts then just come 😂 there’s things called hand me downs for s reason... if you WANT TO bring something for the baby to be... then do that... but you shouldn’t feel obligated !
Myronn Coleman Baby stuff is not that expensive, a couple outfits from tjmaxx is like $10
This assumes that the point of the baby shower is to give gifts. Like Tam said it can be to shower some love and blessings on Mom and baby.
Some of y’all sound bitter as hell. Society has definitely put some shame on people having multiple baby showers which is why this is even a topic. Having a baby is A LOT so I’m not mad at anyone who chooses to celebrate that however they see fit. You can also choose not to attend 🤷🏾♀️. Additionally, people are saying that expectant parents are greedy, want gifts, using people blah blah- babies are expensive, parents will be taking care of that child for a long time, your one gift is only going to go so far 🙄.
They already discussed this topic. I must be a big fan because I literally remember them talking about it seasons ago.
It is a limit to baby showers A. Tf after two that’s enough
erica simone for most Latinos there is no limit to it😂
Some people have 5 or 6 kids. I'm not spending all my money on them. Even gas can by expensive if they live far away. So...... Throw all the parties you want but I'm not comming after baby #2.
Miss Honey Never Came you don’t have to spend all your money on them. You can buy some socks or a onesie and/or some diapers and keep it moving. That cost less than what you’d spend at happy hour.
Jasmine H people not obligated though but it should be limits and after two you don’t need anymore baby showers.
erica simone I think if you’re going to go, you shouldn’t go empty handed and I think people can have as many as they want especially if they are spread apart in time and the baby was created with a different person. If you don’t want to go, then just don’t go. And the people throwing it shouldnt be mad if people don’t come. Simple.
Having a 2nd child 7 years after my oldest, we held a "Baby Sprinkle"! It was the best sprinkle for just necessities needed!
What is with them being so rude to Jeannie every conversation & cutting her off? Also why does Loni have to make faces when someone has an opposing opinion? I think Amanda may be rubbing off on her...
I agree with Adrienne and Tamera all the way. Each child should be celebrated, women go through enough and then pregnancy?? Gurl, I’ll get you the diapers, blankets, baby food, etc.
