Friends are giving my daughter-in-law AA a baby shower, which happily brought her and DC down for a visit to Corpus Christi. looking forward to having my first grandchild in two months and all these preparations, like baby showers, are getting me excited! So I hope you'll participate in telling about your likes and dislikes about baby showers for you and for others.1. What were baby showers like for you and your friends in the past?
Hardly a part of my experience (not really sure why) I think I have only been to one which is a great memory
2. Did you play games? What kinds?
There was a "guess the sex and birth date of the baby" game. A collection of 'handy hints' for the mum-to-be. That's about all I remember.
3. In your job, especially if you are a pastor, do you get invited to a lot of baby showers? What do you do about them?
No
4. Are baby showers different for our daughters (or younger friends) than they were for us?
No idea
5. Do you like hosting baby showers or do you avoid that responsibility?
Never have, although not averse to the idea
Bonus: Any silliness about baby showers you wish to contribute.
At the one-and-only event I attended there was an awkward moment when one friend made a comment about having to watch out for the mother-in-law. Only to find that the lovely woman she was sitting beside was said mil. Who thankfully laughed as much as anyone.

Mavis, since I'm the MIL, I really thought that was a funny story! I think there are more baby showers that are over the top here in south TX, but last night's for my daughter-in-law was nice. I'm glad you could play!
I'm glad the MIL could laugh...sounds like something I'd say, and then want to crawl under the table from embarrassment. LOL
so glad the MIL could laugh; if it was my MIL she would not have laughed
You don't seem to be very up with baby showers ... well I have to confess to being even more of a novice ... I haven't been to any!!
I always enjoy your posts.
