I think it has nothing to do with being a parent now . It just has to do with the fact that it really isn\'t that funny. Then again, I did sit thru a four hour baby shower yesterday, so any sense of humor I had has been zapped away.

Ouch, I feel your pain...

I asked it before and I ll ask it again.Are the striptsa nd covers in "superdickery" site REAL? :eek:

No, you don\'t. Trust me, it took four hours. There was baby games, there was actual BABIES there and you know what? It took two cars to get all this stuff home. It is sitting in the living room, waiting to be sorted out. I should take a picture and post all this stuff. That\'s not counting more big stuff like another crib, etc.
Jesus f**kin\' christ. There is a lot of stuff.

So what you\'re saying is...there was a lot of stuff?

Pictures would be funny.

My sister had to rent a Uhaul to get all her  baby-shower shit to her house. Most of it was just white elephant blah blah.

From Superman to child molestation to LIC\'s baby shower. Interesting thread indeed.

What is bad, is the fact we got a lot of the stuff before the shower (crib, double stroller and various other things). I am not sure how many friggin\' custom made blankets we have now, not to mention "cute little outfits". I mean, come on, she is about to pop two children out. Do you know what I need? Diapers. Not friggin\' cute outfits they will wear for a friggin\' month then outgrow.

And yes - the covers and strips are real . They are takin\' from silver age comics.

At least you\'re getting free stuff...

Not friggin\' cute outfits they will wear for a friggin\' month then outgrow.

A diaper is only worn a few hours, then the baby "outgrow"\'s it.

The thing is women are much more attached to the feeling of a new baby being born. Sure its an amazing thing, having a kid and all, but in reality it happens all the time.

[Living-In-Clip]

It has nothing to do with the being "amazed", because in reality, while it happens all the time, trust me, it is amazing. The whole from the start of it, watching the stomach getting bigger, feeling the kick. It is a rollercoaster and amazing. It\'s just the fact that what people need the most is diapers and various things like that, not cute outfits.

WILL SOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTION?CURIOSITY IS KILLING ME!!

Well I guess thats where we get to the actual point of a baby shower.

May find this interesting;

How much will they cost?
The costs calculated below for disposable, single-use diapers are based on two of the most popular brands from a store known for its value pricing.

The newborn package (up to 10 lb.) contains 48 diapers at $16.23, or $0.34 each . The average number of changes for a newborn is 12 to 16 per day for the first two weeks.

    14 diapers x 7 days x 2 weeks = 196 diapers at $0.34 each = $66.64

The infant size 1 package (up to 14 lbs.) contains 104 diapers at $ 0.22 each. An average baby requires 10 to 12 changes per day for the first three months.

    11 diapers x 30 days x 2.5 months = 825 diapers at $0.22 each = $181.50

The infant size 2 package (12-18 lbs.) contains 88 diapers at $0.26 each. An average baby who is three to six months old requires 10 to 12 changes a day.

    11 diapers x 30 days x 3 months = 990 diapers at $0.26 each = $257.40

Mega-pack pricing was used for the balance of the packages, because mega-packs are the least expensive. Each mega-pack was $28.92 + $2.02 sales tax, for a total of $30.94 per package.

The infant size 3 package (16-18 lbs.) contains 96 diapers $0.32 each. A six- to nine-month-old baby requires eight to 10 changes per day.

    9 diapers x 30 days x 3 months = 810 diapers at $0.32 each = $259.20

The infant size 4 package (22-27 lbs.) contains 64 diapers at $0.37 each. A nine- to 12-month-old child requires eight changes per day.

    8 diapers x 30 days x 3 months = 720 diapers at $0.37 each = $266.40

The toddler size 5 package (over 27 lbs.) contains 58 diapers at $0.41 each. The average 12- to 18-month-old child requires six to eight changes a day.

    7 diapers x 30 days x 6 months = 1,260 diapers at $0.41 each = $516.60

The child size 6 package (over 35 lbs.) contains 48 training diapers at $23.00, or $0.45 each. An average 18- to 30-month-old child requires six to eight changes per day.

    7 diapers x 364 days = 2,548 diapers at $0.45 each = $1146.60

Grand total
The total estimated average cost is $2,694.54 for 7,349 disposable, single-use diapers[/color][/size]. Keep in mind that this is a conservative estimate.
