I never liked going to second baby showers, not unless a significant amount of time had passed since the first one, and the new infant was going to be a different gender than the first. Nobody needs another shower within a year or two of the first one, which is how fast the Duggar girls seem to be populating. Joy didn't seem able to put away or organize all the stuff she got before the baby came. Why would she need a second shower later?

Well said.<br /><br />People did manage to survive centuries before now without knowing until the baby was born. <br /><br />Seems anymore that people go way overboard. Baby doesn't need all the stuff people buy and decorate with. It's more for the parents than the child and seems a terrible waste of time, effort and money. I for one would love to see all that decorating money go to an orphanage or shelter for single moms or for something that could help other children who need it.

You buy simple clothes, that are gender-neutral for an infant and that can be used again. Babies grew so fast anyways. With a few months of birth, you can buy "gender" specific clothes,when the baby grew out of infant clothes. <br /><br />Decorate? You decorate a baby's room like a baby's room. No need to make it gender specific.. time enough for that when the little one is old enough to sleep in a normal bed.<br /><br />Disappointed over the gender? If someone is disappointed and needs time to get over that, they should NOT be a parent.
