I'm guessing it has nothing to do with upholding tradition and everything to do with just not wanting to attend it, and using tradition/history as an excuse.

Yeah, I did not force euro to be there. I told him he could stay home. But there were other guys there. And it was really just a party. You're celebrating both people having a kid and you give them some gifts to help. Like a wedding.

Also since my friend can't drink she has been really invested in getting everyone else drunk.

Potential key factor, my friend lives 5 minutes away so it was also not any hardship to attend.

Bear in mind you're soliciting the opinion of a man named euro.

Like any man that allowed themselves to be dragged to this event would publicly disagree with their partner.

The number of couples who both: have the ability to pull off a co-ed baby shower; and actually decide to have a co-ed baby shower has got to be in single digits

DBZ's situation sounds better than expected, since I was not imagining a scenario where the expecting mother would be trying hard to get everyone liquored up.

Short for eurotrash.

He...is not actually from Europe.

She misses her mimosas bad. As a result, the mimosa bar was off the chain.

The only funeral I plan on attending is my own.

I would say it's very unusual for sure.

I'm sorry you experienced such tragedy at such a young age.

He also doesn't want to go to weddings and things and he goes because that's what you do for friends. He had an out for this and still attended. Ergo, he went because he thought it was the right thing to do for friends regardless of gender norms.

I have never heard of a diaper party. Having a second party split because of outdated gender norms seems highly inefficient and silly.

fwiw, my other friends baby shower was also coed and Euro did not attend while I did and that was fine. It was farther away and would have been a larger commitment of time.

Wtf is a diaper party? Sounds almost as dumb as a coed baby shower.

I wondered what is a co-ed baby shower. From the discussion here I conclude that this is a party where guys can come with their SO and party and have some fun. Right?
I am surprised that this is not kind of normal thing. I mean why should men be excluded?
