Hey mums, keen to know if you had a baby shower the second time around? If yes, why, if no why?
Really unsure x

My SIL had a baby shower for her second because her first was 13 years ago. I saved pretty much everything from my first child and we plan for another next year, so instead of a full shower, I may just throw a “baby sprinkle” lol. Especially if the baby is going to be the opposite sex

No, couldn't be bothered and kept everything from my first...
Friends always give you presents anyways so I didn't feel the need to do it all over again.

Honestly didn't do one for either. Did a baby announcement zoom call for my first and a gender reveal for my second. I kept everything from my first so I had a lot of gender neutral clothing to use. I also knew friends and family that were going to buy them clothes would do so without the party and I live in a different state then most of my friends and family.

I'm trying to work out if I would just be doing it for the gifts lol and it seems that way, which is not needed cause I have everything. I'm due in December and literally just want to hibernate, other than see maybe 2 friends. Thanks for your feedback girls xx

I can say when/if I get pregnant again I would want to do a baby shower because every babies life deserves to be celebrated ✨️🥳

Hey hun yeah but you can celebrate a baby without lots of people and a gift list. I'm tempted to just do a meal with my family x

yeah I know, I feel like the second baby shower is for more like celebrating the baby than buying things, ig "baby shower" wouldn't be the word

Yh hun. I don't know. I'm thinking after noon tea with my mum and sisters. I'm due in December and Christmas is round the corner so feel like it's gonna be such a hectic month anyway

You’re at the check out and notice the cashier gives you senior citizen discount. You’re very clearly under the cut off. Would you be excited for the extra savings or offended?

Turns out Monday morning at my Kroger and the lady slipped it in without saying anything. This has happened to my mom before and we were both obviously happy with a random discount but one of my sisters in law said she’d die if that happened to her because she’d be so embarrassed 😂

Something you’d never buy second hand?

What is something you’d never buy second hand and can’t believe people do. For me it’s clearly very worn shoes or mattresses🥴

Has your child(ren) ever made an unauthorized purchase on one of your accounts?

I left my son to watch tv alone in my room while I switched the laundry over and not 2 minutes went by before I got a notification thanking me for a 1 year peacock subscription of $116.

Luckily Roku refunded me and I’ve since added a pin but now I know it really is that easy for kids to make quick and expensive purchase without us knowing.

Second income/side hustle.

HELP! What are you decent and genuine source of second incomes or side hustles if you have one? My maternity leave is due to end as my baby will be 6 months. Cannot afford to be on SMP or go part time. I would love to go part time and do something else as well as.

Please send over any advice! TIA xo

Hi guys

I had a friend group of me and 2 other people. One of them was my best friend. I would play games with her, call her, and text her everyday. I was really really close with her. The other girl was my friend. She never texted me first. We only talked if she texted us in the group chat or if we all played Minecraft together. We all had a Minecraft world together that we played on. I’m not friends with either of them anymore since last night and I’m having a really hard time dealing with it. It really hurts. This is also not related to this situation but I also just lost my other friend. I’m going through so much right now.
