Little bit of a whine

My friend's sister is due with a boy in June. She lives 1000 miles from us, so I am helping my friend plan the baby shower. The invitations had to go out yesterday since all the people live in MA and we're mailing them from FL. Anyway - My friend told her sister repeatedly she needs to register somewhere so we could put this in the invitations. Well she never did and when my friend would push her about it she would say she doesn't have time. Mind you she has all kinds of time to go out and PARTY, not work, and mooch off her friends. Finally her sis told her to register for her. My friend has no kids, never really been around them and her sister wants her to register for her?
So I spent my afternoon yesterday registering for this girl who I've never met and she obviously has no desire for this baby. I even had my friend call her to see if she had colors for the nursery that she wanted for bedding. Nope, she didn't care.

SHE'S HAVING A BABY!! HER 1st BABY!! And she doesn't care about anything with the nursery or even registering for her baby shower? If she was young I would blame it on her age, but she's not, she's MY AGE!
I was thinking about this during the night and the more I thought about it the more it ticked me off. She can get pg, not care one once about her baby, and dh and I can't have one? WTH?

Ok, that's my rant, thanks for listening.

Yeah....I can understand your frustration. I've known a couple women like that, they just don't care.

I really don't understand it either.

Thanks gals.
I have actually decided to seperate myself as much as possible from the whole shower planning. I've given her all the info my friend needs. I was just getting WAY too bitter about it and my friend doesn't know that we are ttc since we haven't told anyone. So I think this is the best solution.

I know how you feel, I know this girl who just decided to give her first baby up for adoption once the baby is born because she says the baby is an inconveniece to her and her boyfriend. She says her career will suffer and she is not letting "it" get in her way. I just want to slap her!! My hubby and I have been trying for 2 years already and still no luck. I really hate people who just don't understand the precious gift they have been given when they conceive a child. Sorry for the rant!
