friday hax chat question: babies! should she go to the shower for kid #2 of a relative she doesn't really like?

Posted by pigby (aka chris) Jan 30 '09, 11:35

Baby shower dilemma: Carolyn and the nuts - I'm trying to decide whether to attend a baby shower for a relative who lives in the same town I do, and whom I see occasionally. There are a number of factors including 1: I HATE baby showers 2: this is her second child 3: I have very little in common with this relative and her friends (lifestyle, interests, values, etc.) and at past events at her house with her friends I've been bored out of my mind. But then I think, I am around people like me a lot and maybe it would be good to hang out with those who are really different just to get out of my usual bubble of life and gain some perspective? When do you know when its helpful to force oneself to something you probably won't enjoy but just might be good for you?

better to do stuff with family now and be bored than to regret not doing stuff with them later -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 11:39
