The article explores the potential for grandmothers to hold their own baby showers, highlighting a discussion led by DeeDee Moore on social media. Moore acknowledges two main opinions: some view grandmother showers as a positive celebration of the new role, while others see them as opportunistic and inappropriate gift grabs. She suggests that celebrations like lunch gatherings can welcome new grandmothers, but cautions against overshadowing the needs of expecting parents. The article features a heated debate in TikTok comments, reflecting mixed feelings on the trend.
"OK, there are definitely two opinions about grandmother showers... Opinion one: Grandmother showers are a lovely way to welcome a friend or co-worker into their new role. Opinion two: Granny showers are inappropriate and tacky gift grabs."
"If a group of co-workers gets together and has a lunch where they celebrate someone becoming a new grandmother... it's a lovely way to welcome somebody to this new stage of life."
"Traditionally, a shower is thrown to help provide a young couple with the things that they can't afford themselves... It's harder to justify a shower for a grandmother who can likely afford most of the things she needs."
