1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Well, there's a new trend sparking debate on social media.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: It's called grandma showers, as in baby showers for grandmothers.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: Instead of celebrating the mom to be, these parties put

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: the spotlight on the soon to be grandma. While many

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: question the need for these parties in the first place,

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: supporters say it makes sense, especially if the grandmother will

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: be helping with childcare, having baby stuff at her house

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: like the crib or the diapers that can be super practical. Critics,

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: on the other hand, call it tackie and peak boomer

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: or generation X entitlement, and says it shifts attention and

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: gives away from the actual parents.

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: What do you guys think?

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: I think this is very stupid. That's the grandmama just

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: thirty some years old. That's what this is.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Your grandmother, Tommy, your grandparent junior.

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: I already said I think it's stupid.

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh you do?

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, I said that.

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah for what it's yeah, I don't.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Like to have all the things that she needs to

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: at the house while she's watching the baby.

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: Why is these kids not raising their own kids? Why

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: why grandmama house got to be loaded up? Now with

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:19,880

Speaker 2: Just because the gonna be over there.

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the baby will be I don't like.

27

Speaker 3: When my grandkids come and visit me because my wife
