My wife is pregnat so her freinds and family are throughing her a suprise baby shower. I've been invited but I'm uncomfortable with going as all the attendees are female and my impression is that the husbands don't usually go to the showers.

Any sugestions on the matter would be appreciated.

Go.

Offer to be the bartender, and you can flirt with all the good-looking girls all night long.

....."One drink for you, one drink for me!".....then later: ... "One drink for yu, two derinks for me!"...and even later..."Wun dink fer yu, tree drinkie-poose fer moi! Hic!" :eek:

Problem solved?

With all due respects, Al, if the ladies are hot, I would prefer to stay sober and 'pitch woo'.
 
I know some cultures have stag and doe parties for baby showers.

My SO and I were invited to one a while ago. The people having the baby were Portuguese.

I still managed to find a way to avoid going. :D
 
Why don't you suggest to your wife that she tell all those attending that their spouses, bfs or ?? could all get together during the shower and go off and do some guy thing?

I went to one like that: all the guys dropped off the ladies at the locale and then we all went out to shoot pool, eat wings and watch sports....it worked out great.
 
Who are you kidding.

If your wife wants you to go to help out - guess what, you're there.

Suck it up and be a big boy.

Besides, if you don't go, you'll just end up in the doghouse and it's not worth it really.
 
Well it depends, on how your family and friends handle baby showers, it's more of a streotype that is only for women. when it should be a family celebration that a new life is coming into the world.

With my cousin who jus thad her baby about 2 weeks ago we ended up having her shower after she gave birth and the first day the hospital sent her home, we had all her brothers, and sisters there, and extended family, with catered food, gifts, and domionos and beers. and rum cake.

gifts were opened, cake was cut, and disney movies playing for the kids running around in the family, and the food was great, we had steam fish, jerk chicken, ox tail, and rice.
 
Minnie: that does sound like a great way to do it, but if he's the only guy, I know I'd feel like a fish out of water lol....too many hormones in one place for my liking lol
 
Given that it is your child (I assume anyways :) ) it would be nice for you to make an appearance as the ladies will want to congratulate the happy pappy as well as the mom.

If the gala is taking place at your house your wife may wish your help to keep things going. If that's the case, I would stay.

If it's happening elsewhere then I would go with tboy's or amazon woman's suggestions.

Minnie's sounds like a real nice way to do a baby shower (kind of a cross between a baby shower and a family reunion sort of deal) but in this case it sounds like more of the "traditional" shower in which the attendees are pretty much all female.

What's wrong with estrogen??????

LOL nothing, but get too much of it in one place and a guy could go nuts.....

I used to run boat charters and often had a group of women out on the water for a day. It was fine at the beginning but after a while, I would have given anything to hear someone say something like: Hey, did you watch the hockey game last night? or What do you think about the new li-ion dewalt tools? LOL
 
and if your soo worried about being the only guy there invite some guy friends over, and tell them need to bring a baby gift or a gift for your wife.
 
Don't go. If there's going to be cucumber snadwiches with the crusts cut off, you'll be glasd you didn't.

Or as Damondean points out, go in a dress. But don't shave, or anything. I'm sure they'll want you to leave soon enough!!!

There is an alternative 001, book a date with Minnie Apple and Amazon_Woman and have a shower with them. Tell your wife you don't do baby showers and require time to meditate on what led to this baby shower in the first place. Minnie Apple and Amazon_Woman will be of great assistance in this reflective experience.

WTF can't you make a simple decision or do you always seek a concensious before making a decision?


book a date wtih who, didn't you get the memo, I haven't been an SP for over a year .

He was looking for inspiration and meditation!!!!

Get your cute mind out of the gutter!
 
Don't go. This is a perfect opportunity to try some of the talent being reviewed here. Your wife will not miss you once she gets into the shower. This gives you a few hours to find some hot SP fun!
