As someone who has attended numerous baby showers, including my own, I have a straightforward, yet urgent request: let’s put an end to the endless parade of baby shower games. They can be quite unbearable.
For starters, nobody wants to guess the flavor of a melted candy bar in a diaper. It’s meant to be humorous, as if to say, “Look at the mess the new mom will soon face!” But really, it’s just not funny. I already have my hands full with the messes created by my three children and two dogs. I certainly don’t need to wade through more in the name of celebration.
Then there’s the baby trivia games. Let’s be honest; I didn’t come to this gathering to be quizzed on how many diapers a baby uses in a year or the financial burden of raising a child in today’s society. I’d rather not be reminded of the expenses that will deplete my bank account!
And please, spare us the guessing games about the size of the expectant mother’s belly. She is not a contestant in a betting pool; we all know it’s significant. It’s awkward and unnecessary to point out her size.
The baby food guessing game? No thanks. I can barely handle the unpleasantness of feeding my own children; I certainly don’t want to engage in a game that involves smelling and identifying flavors.
When it comes to the 20 questions about how well I know the mom-to-be, you may as well ask a stranger on the street. I might only be here because she’s my husband’s distant relative, and I was compelled to attend. So when it comes to her favorite color or first pet, I’m at a complete loss.
And if I see another game involving pinning a sperm on an egg, I might just lose it. Nobody truly enjoys these games, so let’s just be honest about it. Even the host knows they’re not enjoyable.
What would be appreciated instead? How about some good food and drinks? Just serve us sandwiches and beverages, and we’ll be perfectly content. Let the expectant mother indulge in treats, unwrap her gifts, and return home to rest her weary feet and decompress from the day.
