I don't want to be miserable or ungrateful but I reeeeeaaaally don't want a baby shower! 

​I know they are traditional in America but I'm in the UK and I don't particularly want to play baby games or sit in a room with women wanting to chat about babies or have people feel obliged to buy gifts or be the centre of attention. It's just not my thing at all!

​ I'm getting really anxious and stressed about it as it keeps coming up. My partners family are determined to change my mind even though I've said numerous times I don't want a shower. I'd much rather people visit me when they want to and buy gifts if and when they want to.

Anybody else feel the same?
