Throwing your teen a baby shower

Your teen gets pregnant, while living in your home, I'm thinking more along the lines of 14-17, would you throw her (or his girlfriend) a baby shower?

I've been seeing an increase of teen baby showers on FB, many of my friends siblings who are 14, 15, 16 years old are having baby showers. I never used to think much about it before I had a child, but now it seems awkward.

I'm not sure what I would do if DS became a father in his teens.

I'm not trying to come off as a judgmental smurf, it's just something that struck me as odd and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Thoughts?

Probably. As much as I would be sooo mad I would still try to be positive about it and I know a shower would help them out. It also kind of depends on my kids attitude at the time.

I would not.

Sure would.

I wouldn't...

My MIL threw me one at 15, a surprise shower, and one at 17.I don't see the big deal, either way a life is being born into this world.

If they were keeping the baby yes. I mean other wise I'm the one providing everything.

Yes I would.

I personally think all babies should be celebrated regardless of the age of the mother. But if I might just throw a meet and great once baby actually got here. And only if the mom to be was comfortable with it.

I would, the child's age has nothing to do with what the baby is going to need and that the mother will still need support. A shower is supposed to welcome the mother into motherhood, a teen needs that more than an older mother IMO. They need to learn its time to grow up and this is what your "party" life is gonna look like from now on.

I dont see why not assuming they are keeping the baby. There is still a baby coming into the world that deserves to be celebrated and there are still things the baby needs. Being a teen parent is "punishment" enough why would you not throw a shower?

Well either way the grandchild is coming, it's not the baby's fault. I wouldn't be happy, but I'd throw one to celebrate the baby.

I really don't know...

My mom threw me one at 16, it helped us out a lot.

Of course I would.
