little2add Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Not all guys aren't into baby outfits or whether or not to bring pink or blue party favors. Some men would rather be out trying to make a buck to pay for the roof over his family's head and the like or drinking a beer somewhere else. Not that men are not interested and vested in raising children. i will go if my wife makes me, but i don't have to like it, do I?

havok579257 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 when i got married years ago men did not go to baby showers. it was something only women did. i never went to my baby shower. now though its the thing for both men and women to go. i have had to go to them since. i tell my wife its stupid i missed my own baby shower but i have to go to other people's baby showers. oh and now the new thing is for men to have diaper parties in addition to baby showers. men all go over and hang out and bring diapers for the new dad. i had to do this for my brother in law. all i can say is just get used to it, its the way things are done now a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selah Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I like it as women only. It's nice to have something just for the mom and her girlfriends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I don't see a problem with dads going to a baby shower. The kid has two parents. My kids are late twenties to early thirties, but no grandkids yet. I would expect my son in laws to share with child care, diaper changes, etc. Whay not participate in showers? It's not 1952.

Baby showers are just one big party, food and booze included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteLily Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Some couples like to have a baby shower where men and women are invited. Some women don't want men there at the actual party. Some men may be there, but just hanging out in another room watching TV. It's a matter of preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel if there were any men at the baby shower, then it will feel really awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 My opinion is the closest men in the family (daddy, maybe grandpas) and that's it. Would I really want a guy at church/work/friend's husband, to know what kind of breast pump I have? Awkward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
