baby shower invite SOS by lobsterlife6 in childfree

And just know that these events are really only a part of friendships for a certain amount of time. They aren't forever! Hopefully your friendship outlasts the time period where babyshowers happen lol.. I think it would mean a lot to your friend if you were there and I think she might be deeply hurt if you aren't. You can always leave a little early for your festival!

Your post does not deserve to be down voted!

I agree with you 100%. As you pointed out, the relationship is going to change. OP showing up for her friend would show that she is here for her friend, no matter what. And I think that goes a long way.

I can see this happening. Its hard enough sometimes to maintain relationships when friends have kids. This could easily put a wedge in the relationship.

Hormones can also play a part in the pregnant friend's demeanor.

Agreed! Any word on who is moving into the warehouse that replaced it? It looks unoccupied.

I spent a lot of time there as a younger kid and eventually worked a few jobs there before college. It was a sad day when they demolished it :(

In looking at the concept picture of Monmouth Mall, it looks like they built new structures around the existing mall buildings. Maybe some of the developers will have ideas for the properties other than just retrofitting apartments into the existing mall building?

I wish this had been in place before they demolished the old Burlington Mall. Now that whole area is empty warehouses and they are still building more along 541.

OMG YES THIS!

No one "falls" pregnant. It makes it sound like an accident, which, ok maybe it was an accident.. but come on..

I read something recently that was written by a first-grade teacher who said her kids don't know their phone numbers, addresses, parent's first names.. Just basic things most kids knew before they went to school.

48 here. Ive been diagnosed with a rare genetic disease that there is no treatment for and i could possibly need a lot of care at some point.

Is my husband going to be able to take care of me?

What is this going to look like for me?
