When it comes to being a dad or mom. Age doesn't matter. There are lots of young moms who got pregnant but older men, but as long as he's there in the babies life, thats all that matters. Goes both ways, even if your older then him. Age doesn't matter, I say you take a risk & make a baby shower & invite both sides of the family. Your parents are eventually gonna have to meet your babies father, you can't keep him a secret forever especially if he wants to be in your babies life. You don't have to be with him, but for you baby, let the families meet once. I wish you the best of luck, & like I said, age shouldn't matter at all. As long as he is willing to be there for your child, that's all that should matter to people.

My bf wasnt at my baby shower it was an all girls thing and there wasnt too many people but i got a bunch of stuff. Its really helpful. He was probably scared at first but you are so lucky he is willing to man up and be there for you and the baby! He can be alot of help and be a great daddy if you give him the chance

This is a tough situation.  Doesn't your family already ask about the dad?  A face to the man would be important as he is probably not going any where it sounds and may be at all events of your child's life for the next 18 years with you and the family.  (kids DO want to know their daddy's but know it is hard when you are no longer with them).

Hon, if you have a shower, make it inexpensive.  Often a family member will put one together for you---  any offers for that?  

Now, I personally would do it sooner rather than later.  As in the next couple  of weeks because as you get bigger and farther along, you will want to have what you need and not be out and about shopping.  :>)

You could serve punch and cupcakes with a few simple decorations and that is a good shower.  :>)  It's to celebrate your baby.  

good luck hon

If he is willing to be there for his child don't take that from him. That's not fair to your child that you made together. You don't have to be with him but don't take away from your child knowing his or her father. If you don't want a shower don't have one , but your child has two sides of a family and should know both sides. If people are willing to help , let them. Shoot do you know how many women wish their child's father would be there for the baby!

Dear, just have an all girls baby shower. Don't stress over it because it isn't healthy for you nor the baby.

Why don't you want him to meet your family? Do an all girls baby shower if you decide to have one then no one will ask where he's at.

He doesn't have to be there if you don't want him to be , I'm 32 weeks also n If I do have one he won't be there. I was thinking I might just do like a all girls bay shower, so no one will ask where's the father .
