“I didn’t know about the baby shower until yesterday,” she revealed.
Regardless, the party is set to take place on Saturday. And given that the event was short notice, she does not have a babysitter to watch her daughter. Her husband will also be working– meaning he can’t watch their child, either.
So, she feels like she has no other choice but to just bring her daughter with her. Obviously, though, she is pretty concerned about that– because she just knows her daughter will have a negative reaction after seeing that her sister’s baby is getting showered with a bunch of gifts.
That’s why, while thinking about the shower, she considered bringing a small gift for her daughter to unwrap, too.
“I don’t think my sister will be upset,” she reasoned.
However, she is a bit concerned about her sister’s wife– since her sister-in-law usually gets pretty frustrated with her due to her daughter’s behavior. And quite frankly, she admitted to understanding her sister-in-law’s frustration. At the end of the day, though, she claimed she was trying her best.
“I think my daughter will act better once the baby is born and has a cousin to play with,” she vented. “But, for now, I’m just trying to survive.”
Still, with her sister’s baby shower right around the corner, she’s been left wondering whether bringing a special gift for her daughter to unwrap would be a jerky thing to do.
Do you think her only choice is to bring her daughter to the baby shower? Regardless, is it appropriate to have her daughter open up a gift at someone else’s event? How do you suggest she handle this? What would you do?
