A woman took to subreddit, under AITA (Am I the A** Hole), to question whether she has the right to be mad that she was not a guest at her own baby shower.

According to her, the baby shower was planned by the baby daddy’s aunt, who reassured her that it was a men-only baby shower. Listen, I’m all for equality, but this seems a little mean and strange, to say the least.

Turns out she wasn’t wanted at the baby shower, because she later found out that the boyfriend’s mother, female cousin, and aunt were very much present at the party. Doesn’t sound too ‘men only’ now, does it?

As if carrying a human inside your body isn’t enough, the woman revealed that her boyfriend didn’t support or defend her. Maybe it would have been forgiveable if he was a hands-on father, but he ain’t.

He missed appointments, and the day they found out the gender of the baby, which was on her birthday, he ditched her to spend the day with his mom. Sounds like a momma’s boy, if you ask me.

“I feel like he should’ve stood up for me and said that it didn’t sound fair, that it should be a baby shower for the both of us.”

He tried to sugar-coat the situation by saying that it wasn’t done out of spite.

But it doesn’t sound like they wanted her there in the first place. If there’s one thing the television show “Smothered” has taught me, is that mothers almost always win in the end. I see no difference in this momma’s boy’s behaviour. Wake up sister girl!
