You have to look after your mental health too, and if you are going through a rough bit, sometimes it can be good to make the decision to not go to the Baby Shower or other event. Among family and friends, this has happened a few times. One of my mates told the other mate that it was a bit tough at the moment and so she wouldn't make it, but hoped they all had a good time. Other times, its easier to not give a reason or say you have another event to go to. It depends on your relationship with the person and how they will react (you don't want more drama if they are a drama queen). It's an option if you want it.

take care

Hi HotI I totally agree hopefully I will have an excuse to leave early but OH THE DRAMA it would cause. She evn complains that she has put on weight since being pregnant! She drives me insane but coz she is my sister in law I kinda have to go other wise i'll be the bad one coz she is the golden child as she is pregnant! but ill keep u posted. I just feel awful but I dont want to be there.
I am so glad I found this site because I dont have a single person that understand ths feeling.
Thanks for being here and take care x

A friend of mine has suggested to me several times just to tell people we are thinking of joining a cult that doesn't allow children, I have not tried it yet but am seriously considering it for something different or to see the shocks on their faces... lol

You could always ask them if they would like you to call them ever time your BD'ing so at least they know your practicing.

Another one I like is "When the bank calls and says we can afford it"

or you could simply say "Oh are you offeringto be my surrogate".

snikkers1 I love all of those they are so many I have been trying to think of them and now I have a whole heap.
One that I like is " well actually we are both gay " I would think that would pretty much stop them in their tracks

Have to be taken to hospital ten minutes before you are supposed to be heading out for a dislocated finger. That way it's a long wait for someone to pop it back in and there's nothing to "see" once you leave the coffee shop... I mean A&E.
