Baby shower

I recently had my baby shower this past Saturday. I had about 20 people RSVP and only 8 showed up. My mom and my little brother are the only family who showed up. I feel like the most unsupported person in my family. I only got one gift, nobody has bought anything from my registry. With 3 of my siblings baby showers they had so many people come and got so many gifts. I feel alone and like nobody in my family really cares about me. I'm really upset, I spent over 300 dollars on baby shower food and decorations and only 8 people showed up. I'm on disability due to me having seizures. I feel bad relying on my boyfriend to help pay for stuff. I know that's what he is supposed to do but I just hate asking for help. I feel worthless and useless. I hate myself.

Show your support

Do not feel bad. I had my baby shower a couple weeks ago and only 2 friends showed up. I thankfully had my other two kids, mom, sister, MIL and 2 SILs show up but that’s it. Over 20 people rsvpd that they’d come and only 2 came. I cried so much that day and the next. I just slept basically the whole weekend or layed around. People suck big time.

@HJ Renee I ended the shower early. I was 1-5 and me and my boyfriend left at 1:45 because I felt so bad about myself and then I came home and cried the whole weekend

Same. We ended it early as well. It was supposed to be 2-6 and we left about 330. My SIL through the whole thing and spent a lot of money on it and I felt so bad about it. It just really hurts when people say they’re coming and then just don’t show up. A simple text or call would have been nice but I didn’t even get that.

I know you must be feeling bad, but dont let the emotions overwhelm you. This incident showed you who your real supporters are and care for you. You now know what and how much expectations to have from them once your baby is here.

Sorry this happened to you. Most definitely sucks when people say they’re coming, & then don’t show up. But this is a testimony as to who will be supportive & present for you when baby arrives.
