Who gives a prepaid Visa as a baby shower gift?! I need baby things, but you go and give me a prepaid Visa. Basically, you’re telling me to go out and get my own shit. I’m 9 months pregnant and am extremely uncomfortable – I’m basically housebound until the little dude makes an appearance. And once he’s here, he’s going to be taking all of my time! You could have given me a package of diapers or bath toys. But I gotta go out and get my own baby stuff because you were too lazy to look for an actual physical gift. You know what, when I have my next child, you’re not even gonna be invited to my next baby shower! FFS. —About to give birth

Sounds like a gift card for P*rt of Whines would have been more appropriate.
With that kind of self-entitled attitude, please have yourself spayed. The world doesn’t need any more squeegee kids.
So are you trying to say that when the baby is born you’ll no longer be able to shop? How did mothers survive in the past. And the chances are if they bought you diapers or whatever you would complain it’s the wrong brand, size, colour, etc. At least way with the CC you can get exactly what you need or want. Instead of bitching try a thank you.
Ingrate.
You are a spoiled, lazy whining brat (and obviously thinks she’s the first woman ever to carry a sprog) who doesn’t deserve such kindness from a friend. I’d love to see that prepaid Visa in the hands of a mother-to-be who would be grateful to have such a gift. I pity this poor child of yours who will only imprint your selfish, lazy-ass attitude.
Knock Knock.
Who’s there?
It’s the fedex guy with the baby clothes you ordered on Amazon with your prepaid credit card.
It’s the fedex guy with the baby clothes you ordered on Amazon with your prepaid credit card, who?
*sets house on fire*
wow…there’s gratitude for ya.
Maybe the giver thought that a prepaid visa would give you the flexibility to purchase what you needed. Maybe they wanted to avoid giving you a duplicate gift. Maybe they weren’t sure what you needed.
You’re also lazy as hell…”But I gotta go get my own baby stuff…” You’re having a baby, which takes effort and this is just the beginning sweetheart.
I feel bad for your child already.

You’re going to Thank your friend for giving you that card and not a ‘thing’. Sooner than Later! I absolutely know it!
And, to that end, you will rue this bitch and Eat Every Word of it.
I hope you like CROW! because you’re going to eat a big ole helping of it!
Whoa, with friends like you who needs enemies? As a mom I would have appreciated this gift, even at 9 months preggo. It sure would have come in handy for that first shopping trip post-pregnancy when diapers, cream, wipes, bottles and formula topped off at $100. Be thankful for what you have and are given or karma might have a way of “giving back” to you.
If I was the person who gave this too you and I read this I’d be asking for my gift back.
Also, ever heard of online shopping? Its on this new thing they call the Internet.
FYI: it is considered poor taste to have a second baby shower.
Presumably, the second child will be just as happy with big bruddy’s hand me down baby things as with new stuff that people aren’t going to buy because they ponied up the first time.
“Who gives a prepaid Visa as a baby shower gift?” you ask. Someone you know who seemed to care enough about you to give you something it seems. Perhaps it was the only thing they were able to get for many reasons. Also, as others have said it gives you options to get what you need, when you want to do so. Sometimes it is good to pick things up later as well as before the awaited ‘nativity’. Next time you may decide to drop a pup, one can only hope that your ‘friends’ who may realize what your reaction was to this gift – and think you may have thought the same about what they gave this time, give you what you deserve. Lots of ‘nada’, with some cold shoulder on the side. So boo-hoo to you ungrateful moo.
If you need to rely on ”gifts” from family / friends / neighbours / co-workers / acquaintances to prepare for the arrival of your little darling then perhaps the shower should have been hosted 9 months earlier and they all could have brought condoms and the morning after pill.
I’d imagine that sometime over the next 18 years the prepaid visa card will be applied to something the kid wants or needs.
Why not open a savings account for the little spawn, deposit the gift card funds, and add generous portions of any subsequent birthday card money? Your little monkey will thank you when he needs help with tuition. He’ll also have developed some important financial management skills.
You are making issues where none exist, OP. Be happy. Your unborn child is being affected by your moods. He has no choice. You do though, and the wisdom to make the right one.
“So are you trying to say that when the baby is born you’ll no longer be able to shop? “
Judging by all the teenagers I see carting their infants around the mall, the answer is “no”. Apparently a trip to H & M is a mandatory stop on the way home from the hospital.
Someone is ungrateful. With that kind of attitude you do not deserve friends
I recommend taking some time to meditate on this definition:
grat·i·tude
ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/
noun
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
ex. “she expressed her gratitude to the gift giver for her generosity”
I also recommend you make amends to the person you disparaged by being sure to thank her personally for what will undoubtedly turn out to be a useful gift.
Taking the high road is always the best option.
Are you fucking kidding me, you piece of shit? You were lucky to get something in the first place. I’m willing to bet this person isn’t even someone close to you – they’re likely a co-worker or a cousin you see twice a year. You probably don’t even give them the time of day otherwise, but when you’re about to pop out a mini human, you invite them to your stupid shower so you can get a gift out of them. Fuck you, preggers, I hope the “little dude” makes your life Hell when he becomes a teenager.
This bitch oozes with sweet notes of appreciation…..You’ll be a top clASS mother I’m sure.
I’m sure you had a baby shower by now and have plenty of most everything you need to get you through until you can waddle your jelly belly to the store and use it up. Nothing like looking a gift horse in the mouth. Ungrateful cow.
Ungrateful cow heheheheh your funny sansdessein. Prepaid visa is a great gift, you can buy useful stuff instead of just more crap.
stop being a lazy ingrate
Hahaha.. Wow I think the prepaid visa is an awesome gift. You have the option to buy what you want rather than them risk giving you a crappy gift that you may not like 🙂
What a Bitch.
