Q. My guidance counselor had a baby premature, and after months, she is finally able to take her home. So I was planning on giving her a gift on Monday. Is it okay to do that? Especially because counselors are supposed to be objective and not emotionally attached w/ their students... right?
What would her supervisor think of that?


Answer
I don't know what the supervisor will think, but I would think it's OK as long as it's not to expensive. If you feel it might be wrong talk to your principal and see what he/she thinks.

Just wondering, when somebody is pregnant, who is usually the person who throws the baby shower?




Aloha Mama


Also, have you ever attended a baby shower after the baby was born?


Answer
I think it depends on who is closest to the pregnant person. It's normally a female host, and some moms-to-be have multiple showers for different sides of the family, etc. Popular hosts are sisters, sister-in-laws, mother-in-laws, mothers, friends, cousins, etc.

To answer the second part, I have never been to a shower after the baby was born, but my aunt's shower was the same day! We were driving her home from the shower when her water broke, it was chaos. I think it would make sense in some instances though, like if the baby was premature, the parents lived in a different area than their families/friends, or if the sex of the baby was unknown and they wanted to wait until after the birth so the gifts could be gender-specific. (I went to a shower once when the parents didn't want to know the sex of the baby. All the gifts were gender-neutral greens and yellows, kind of lame.)
