WTF, is this some kind of new phenomenon? This seems like a great excuse for female bonding and for guys to be out doing guy things.

I'm scheduled to go to a couples baby shower tomorrow, I'm thinking of skipping.

WWYD? No pics of pregnant mom, sorry.

I would tell my wife to go without me. I doubt any other guys who were invited will be there.

That's when you cut the grass and do other crap around the house. I've been to one or two, but both were for my wife or sister. They were more like a family dinner and then some gifts though.

It is. Women do something inside (I have no idea what, nor do I care) while the men drink, smoke cigars, watch tv, play poker, bullshite, etc. outside.

WTF is this shite? A couples baby shower? I don't even think its necessary for the father of the baby to be there.

Glad to know I'm not only one. I agreed long ago kind of while I was lurking on TD and not paying attention - very vulnerable you know to just saying "yeah, sounds like a plan" without really knowing what I agreed to.

I have been invited to a few. There is nothing more boring than watching people open presents, especially baby gifts.

skip it.

I was invited to one this weekend too. It's been a LOOOONG time since I have talked with these people. Pretty sure they are just fleecing me for a gift.

Tell them that although you did originally agree, you have since gotten off of your period and grew some balls and must now decline.

Bring the beta dad that's allowing this some shitty bourbon in a baby bottle and make him drink out of it the entire party.
