I am just wondering if it is acceptable for a mom-to-be to ask a friend to throw them a baby shower. My friend recently asked me and I initially agreed although I thought it was rude of her to ask for gifts like that. Since then she has been texting me almost daily details she wants included in the shower such as who is invited and who isn't and what gifts she needs bought first, etc. Recently she gave me 2 dates that I cannot have the shower on because she is having other baby showers that day. Am I crazy? Is it nuts to have 3 showers? Is she wrong to have asked me for a 3rd knowing she would already have 2? I have told her many times since that basically I think 3 showers is excessive and maybe we can combine them into 2. I told her I am under a lot of stress. My husband and I just bought a house when he got injured and is unable to work and I was laid off from my job. I also miscarried a few months ago so while I am beyond excited for my friend, it is an especially hard time for me right now. She told me that typically you get 4 or 5 showers so 3 isn't a lot to ask for. I think that she needs to realize how lucky she is and stop acting like everyone owes her something more. Am I wrong?
