In this post, a 34-year-old man expresses his frustration and disagreement with his wife’s desire for a baby shower for their second child. He explains that his wife and her family enjoy throwing parties and gatherings for various occasions, including minor holidays and promotions, which he finds excessive and financially wasteful. The situation escalated when his mother-in-law offered to organize a baby shower for his wife without his consent, even creating an Amazon wishlist for the event. Frustrated and feeling that a baby shower was unnecessary and a waste of time and money, the husband voiced his objections, making it clear that he would not be hosting a baby shower. His mother-in-law was taken aback, and his sister-in-law misinterpreted his stance as not caring enough about his wife.
The husband is seeking feedback from the Reddit community on whether he’s an A-hole, as he values financial prudence and finds throwing a baby shower an unnecessary expense and inconvenience given their previous experience with their first child.
