burrchillies asked:
My brother and his wife are having their first kid and I’ve been invited to the baby shower. I will be unable to attend (I’ve had an international vacation planned for 8 months and will be out of the country on that day), however, I know I have to send a gift, etiquette says so. My question is, what is the best gift to give for a first baby? I usually get clothes, but I know they don’t need that stuff. What about a lamp with a cow on it (cows are my signature thing)? Would that be appropriate? Or should I get onesies and other outfits? The baby is supposed to be born sometime in the winter (though I don’t know the date, because I don’t care that much).

Thanks in advance for your help!
I like my brother just fine. It’s his wife - who thought she was going to be a doctor in 4 months by going into the military - that I can’t tolerate. Should I penalize my brother because he picked the wrong person to marry?

Why don’t you show just how much you care by not bothering with a gift?

For himyou are just out of etiquette when it because you feel you are the one who seems to have to.

Used Pampers should work in this situation.

If I was your brother I would ask you not to get a gift, I think your attitude stinks - what about family - a new niece or nephew - are you not going to love this baby because you don’t like the mother?
You have to grow up and make the best of your relationship with her - she is part of your family now and so will that little baby be.
What right do you have to say that your brother married the wrong person?
