Now I went to a baby shower not long ago that was rather large for a third child BUT...the baby was born nearly dead and the fact that it was alive was definitely reason to celebrate. That and her husband was away on some sort of extended medical job so she was a semi-single mother w/ 2 young boys and a baby girl that was kinda in peril. The focus on the shower was more "togetherness" than presents since they certainly had the money. I think it just helped her feel supported. But the second marriage thing...let me get started a bit...
My cousin just married some girl who is fairly recently divorced. He's 22 she's nearly 25. The situation (which I won't tell details) is kinda sketchy and the whole wedding reeked of some tacky. She had a billion teas, showers, parties, etc. Granted my cousin deserved 'cause it was his first, but all the shit was focused on HER. Then to make matters worse she wore a strapless white dress and a veil. It's her 2nd marriage and it was in January for crying out loud. Our side of the family was like completely shut out of the whole thing and it pissed me off. Ok i'm done venting now.
