Some people should not host a party . . .

[cinlee3]

Went to a baby shower of my neighbor this weekend which I was kind of not looking forward to anyway.

First of all the guest of honor showed up almost an hour late. Only four guest showed up . Some of her own family didn't even bother to show. The hostess sat there reliving her own "horrible" delivery experience - all while a first time pregnant mom was listening and finally excused herself.

Then the hostess proceeded to belittle a guest for being much quieter than she was told she would be and not as much fun as she thought. The guest was obviously uncomfortable. The guest of honor then said it was because of the diet the dr. had to put her on and the fact that she now had to exercise 5x a week.

Then my pregnant friend proceeds to drink 3 glasses of wine This is the same person who said she has to have a "big ol' margarita" before she could bring herself to register for baby gifts.

The hostess rushed her through opening her gifts so she could get to "the gift" that she herself made. It was a single bib and she told everyone as she was litterally in tears how she broke her machine.

I couldn't wait to get out of there it was so uncomfortable - Not to mention her cat was up on the table eating the food she had out.

I think this woman needs some lessons in hosting a party.

Wow! That is amazing.

And I thought my sister's wedding shower was tough...her future MIL did not want to come at all...her finace had to talk her into it...and when he came at the end of the shower she proceeded to berate him in front of everyone about student loans or something like that.

Wow, sorry about that. Are these people your friends?

Sounds like I'm glad I wasn't invited. The hostess sounds like she could use more than just a little advice on how to be polite.

Geesh!!

I usually make up some excuse to get out of parties that I don't want to go to . . .

The only person I that I knew at the party is the guest of honor. She is my neighbor. I felt obligated to go. I had no idea it would turn out like that.

We are not really great friends, we really don't have that much in common except that our sons are in the same grade at school.

This shower almost beat the other neighbors for being the worst. The other one gave herself the baby shower and we all had to wait for her husband to finish watching a football game before she opened her gifts.
