Today we had our baby shower and it was great! It was co Ed and more people than I thought were coming did. My in-laws did the nacho bar, a friend brought the cake and some other friends did the party games. Family that I only get to see about once a year came. Friends with different schedules too time if just to come. I am so thankful to have such great friends and family. Even if no body had brought a gift I think it would have still been an amazing shower just because it was so fun just to see family and friends all at once.

The only thing that was very stressful for everybody was some friends (who got us the cake) brought their kids that were out of control. Pretty much every person there complained about them and their children and ONLY their children. At one point our friends just left to go for a walk and left all of their kids at the shower without asking anybody to watch them. No joke. Screaming. Throwing tantrums. Getting in people's faces while they were having conversations. Taking balloons and popping them when they were meant for games. Over the years their kids have gotten far worse. There were other kids at the shower but nobody noticed because they were so well behaved. In fact many of our guests (who we have known most of our lives) asked us not to invite them to parties if this family was going to be at any other party. Even if it's our baby's first birthday. We've never ever had a request made like this before! The parents of the kids were actually angry about how irritated people were getting with their kids. Including us. Any suggestions on how to approach this issue? We almost asked them to leave at one point.
