A buddy of mine whose wife is preggo sent out an email the other day that he was going to BBQ some pulled pr0k. This was followed up almost immediately by an email from his mom-in-law saying to RSVP the BBQ but that in reality she was having a surprise baby shower for him and his wife.
I was horrified. My friend was going to spend the whole week planning an outdoor get together with his buds only to be cock blocked at the last minute by his mother-in-law. His anticipated day of gluttony and beer drinking was going to be transformed into a baby shower. How fricked up is that?
I suffered a brief dilemma of whether to go or not. I mean he's my bro so maybe I should go and help ease his pain. But in the end I couldn't do it. frick that.

the couples showers i've ever been invited to have been more like friend get togethers, everyone not pregnant or producing milk gets drunk and we spend 2 or 3 hours bullshitting and catching up. my circle of friends seem to consider it a good excuse to just see each other and hang, since everyone has made the mistake of procreating. i've can't even remember the presents being opened.
this makes me sad and i don't even know the guy. i can't say for certain what i would do, but i'd like to think that i would have told my friend the plan, because like you say, he's going to be excited for something that will never happen. but i'd also advise him that he's stuck and the fight that would arise from him pusing back probably can't be won. i'd like to think i'd be there to provide moral support. but at least he wouldn't be blindsided. but your decision is valid as well, don't get involved in it. tough.
