- NEW!
My baby shower was on Sunday, me and my husband live in HIS mom's house, his mom does NOT live with us, she moved to another town years ago. His mum came into town, I am due later this month. He says to me a few days before the shower that I should probably be able to guess by now WHY his mum was coming into town? (hinting that there was a baby shower in the air) I said yes, BUT baby showers are supposed to be a suprise for the pregnant woman, but I guess it did not matter to him cus he has a new building that he is working on that we are supposed to be living in, and on Friday he comes to me telling me that he has to put lights in th new building for my baby shower on Sunday. I kept telling him that it is SUPPOSED to be a suprise but it did not matter to him. When I got to the baby shower, about 5 people asked if I was suprised so I lied to them telling them that I caught on after people KEPT calling the house asking for my husband, do you think I SHOULD have told them that my husband TOLD me about it? Am I making a big deal about my husbands reaction to this, or since I had an idea it was no longer a suprise???

Your husband likes to be in control and that's why he told you about the shower. I think he was very inconsiderate. However, I hate surprise parties myself and would be grateful if someone told me in advance. I'm not sure why you feel that showers are supposed to be a surprise. In all that I have attended or planned for we told the person so they could tell us who they wanted to have invited. It is definitely NOT a requirement for a shower.

I'm surprised you learnt to use the description function.

Really? You are acting like a brat. First of all, it is not true that a baby shower is "supposed" to be a surprise. Secondly, even if you would have preferred that your husband not blow the surprise, is it such a big deal to be worked up about? Did you enjoy the party? What is important is that people cared enough about you to have a shower for you and come to your shower. I think a little thankfullness would make you feel better than looking for what your husband may have done wrong.

why isnt it know as a secret baby shower?!
by Secretive Woman on March 16th, 2010
Me too, but after looking around the page, I found it, so do you have an answer to my question?? : D

Of course it wasn't a surprise if he told you about it. I am not sure why you think it should have been. Personally I would have hated it if my husband had surprised me like that. When my mother decided to throw a surprise engagement party for us my husband told me about it and I was grateful. I don't like surprise parties at all.
Dilemna...see description

I have friends that offered to throw my baby shower, but haven't set a date. Is it tacky to ask them when they were thinking of having it?

Well, I was taught that in general baby showers are supposed to be a suprise, unless you specifically tell the pregnant person, it sounds like you think I am an idiot or something for suggesting that they are supposed to bea suprise.

By the way, I dont mind a suprise baby shower.
With my hubby, if it was the other way around he probably would have been annoyed with me, if his family/friends were throwing HIM a suprise party and I told him about it.

Ok so how is it a control issue him telling me about the shower?? Are you reffereing to the fact that I told him they are suppose to be a suprise so since he wanted to control things he thought to himslef, well it may be it is suppose to be a suprise but he will tell me anyway whether i like it or not???

I don't think you are an idiot. I just never heard that showers are supposed to be a surprise. Perhaps it is that way in the area you come from but where I come from they aren't. Where I come My comment about your husband having control issues was because I remembered the incident with his mother and the laundry. My opinion is that he likes to have things his way. I may be wrong but I'm making my comments based on how it appears to me.
