Baby Showers. Why Don't Men Have to Suffer with Us?
(question posed by my very good friend on Saturday after a shower of a good friend's wife.)
Don't get me wrong. I totally get it. Having your first child and you need STUFF. Stuff you never thought you would need. And if you don't have stuff that is handed down to you from siblings and what-have-you, then a shower is the perfect time to get stuff.
I totally get it.
But.
If I have to "ooh" and "ahh" over receiving blankets and breast pumps, I better have some strong drinks or at least interesting conversation to get me through it.

You evidently have not heard of the horrendous term "couples shower", which is designed to torture the man and is often employed in engagement showers and baby showers.

stop with the shower madness! Seriously! I think the problem is that the lucky woman can't drink, smoke, or even use caffeine, so she's got to make everyone else feel bad and thus do stupid shower party games, etc.
