Am I wrong? "Welcome to the world" Party VS. Baby Shower
So I'm 17, currently 22 weeks pregnant and now struggling with some things. My mom had her first child at 15 and feels I'm "glamorizing" pregnancy. She says this because I wish to take maternity pictures and have a baby shower. She states that back in her days she and her parents were too shamed and that I should be ashamed and that I don't deserve to have a shower. She claims she's spoken with older mothers who've expressed they wouldn't come to my shower because I'm a teen parent. And that they basically don't like me so they wouldn't get me anything for the baby. So she insists on having a "Welcome to the world" party (after she's born) for just my baby.. but I don't want to. I feel it's disrespectful and rude to me as the mother. Am I wrong for feeling this way? I'm 17 and will be 17 in June when the baby is born. I'm turning 18 in August.. any advice? I feel so stuck and upset! I have 2 jobs and am honestly working my ass off for nothing.. I jus want to cry at this point.
