$2,000 on a baby shower, but the parents are struggling.

I'm so distracted by how fabulous the Judge's makeup and hair are... She is slaying... ❤

That much money could of furnished the whole baby nursery!

All that silly money could be spent on the baby.

We had my daughter baby shower at my aunt’s house and bought food and drinks and decorations and it was less then 200.00 and it was nice

I think the plamtiff went overboard.

She said Dueces!✌️

I would not have anything to do with her either. it would be toxic.

Before the verdict. I believe the defendant should pay $500.00 and the plaintiff most definitely OVERSTEPPED her bounds! Okay JL what do you say?

Every baby is special but the plantif went over board she is living vicariously through her son.she wanted to plan a wedding. Sometimes people need to seriously talk and include the parents. Usually friends give showers. This baby shower was extreme and this case became ridiculous almost snappy from the plantif. Family has a lot of talk no money. The defendant's daughter is going to have problems with her baby's father's family they are going to be in all her business trying to raise that baby. What a family!! Too many opinions no money!! LORD THE BABY ISNT EVEN BORN.😢

10k on a baby shower is TOTALLY 💯 RIDICULOUS

If anyone threatened my mother “I” would not attend my own baby shower! I don’t give a ___WHO planned it! Apparently the defendant’s daughter (who has more than one child already) has very little respect for her own mother and co-signed for the mother of her second child’s father (UNWED) along with his family DISRESPECT her “mother” Let his side of the family be her safety net 💯 from this day forward!

Judge Lake was wrong on this one. Once a non paying relative would’ve threatened me…. I’d be out of it too! That lady didn’t know if her cousin would have acted on that threat. $2300 for a baby shower that the plaintiff clearly said “they weren’t ready for”, is wild

How do people spend this sort of money on a baby shower, goodness me, what the money spent on, we don’t do many baby showers in the UK, what’s that money spent on. I went to one, we had crisp and snacks, and took a small gift, like vests, or nappies small gifts for the baby sounds as if yours have gone just crazy, £1000 each from 2 people.

Happy Tours Africa is following you from Uganda

Plaintiff wants to be compensated for the shower she planned. Nope. Plaintiff was planning a party, not a baby shower, with all her kin folk as a family reunion. Sickening.

This whole baby shower is waaayyyy over the top!! WTHECK??

This is why I don't get too close & comfortable with ppl when it comes to money. I would have just written a check for the amount that I was comfortable with, went to the shower & then go about my business. When you give ppl an inch, they'll gladly take a mile.

Redelious!! They did for themselves not baby!!

Theme? Event planner? A DJ? Yall doing too much.

To much money for a damn baby shower, no wedding and the parents having a baby with no money

I would be the same. Stay away, family, only see the grandchild.

Know one talked about how much money they was going to spend!!!!! 🤔🤔

She went overboard with the spending and on top of that she wasn't nice

I dont blame Ms Castel, I wouldn't want anything to do with people that treated me like that simply because I disagreed with a theme.... like she said, Deuces to you

$2K... really. Ever heard of Dollar Tree! That's crazy as hell !!! That shower was for the Paternal Grandmother... she wanted the spot light.... and SHE should've had to pay for it.

10 k gosh that is a wedding plantif put that dig about them being married 😢 Better just buy the baby items. These showers are getting ridiculous. Next they will do a go fund to pay for the baby.

Granny was supposed to show up!

I do hope the defendant can forgive for the sake of her daughter and grandchild but too many children suffer because of issues with the adults. My grandchildren stories are not happy. But we had to get over a lot of mess. Families don't always treat everyone fairly or equally. I paid for many family events but my children and grandchildren got nothing. Lots of chapters in that novel Oh they did get my grandson a used car seat or stroller but my daughter never got it.

The baby shower was for Ms. West, her non paying family/friends who have a lot to say, but not one penny contributed towards the baby shower. She hoped they’d get married first which means she’s already thinking about the wedding planning and baby’s 1st birthday. Hope she acknowledges the fact that her son has a woman with another child/not to be ignored. If you have struggling kids, then obviously that money could’ve been better spent elsewhere. So, Ms. Castell agreed to $500 which aligns with the mentioned $1k total. So if Ms. West decided to overspend, that’s on her. Only 3 fully loaded margaritas?! She could remember half, but not $500. Ms. West knew exactly what she was doing which is why she mentioned “half” again, knowing Ms. Castell agreed to $500. If she didn’t know what her overboard was, then Ms. West should’ve asked. I wouldn’t have stayed in a group chat with hoodlums. It was not an important event for her grandchild because the kid isn’t here already. Ms. Castell will have plenty of memories once the baby is born. If their kids are struggling now, what’s going to happen when the baby comes? If I’m struggling financially, I’d rather use that money towards bills, pampers, groceries, etc. That baby shower is for one day. How is this helping struggling kids with a growing family? If she’s accountable for $750, I’m sorry she didn’t get to enjoy.

Is the baby here!! Hope the plantif will not take over this baby.

Not everyone is broke.

Oil and Water... they do not mix ...

2,000 for a baby shower?

Im not vague anout money. Id have said EXACTLY what im anle to do in writing and stuck to it. A threat would be taken seriously. My child wouldnt think its cool. None of us would come and that would be communicated in NO uncertain terms as to why. Wed have a heartfelt shower that would be beautifully done without the ghetto fabulosity on soending that way.

What? That's a garbage judgement, she's just trying to make this not be an issue in the future but plaintiff WILL be an issue and is probably one in he child's relationship too.

Whatever happened to a backyard bbq/potluck/cake/drinks/balloons/games? Those days, everybody wants to hire planners and strut around like they’re celebrities when they cannot afford it. Ms. Castell is too mild mannered to get involved with Ms. West’s childish behavior. Whenever I hear threats, then we’re kindhearted people, it strikes my last nerve. Why didn’t Ms. West check her two group members or call Ms. Castell that same day to apologize on behalf of her two relatives.

The woman in the brown is very childish. Shame on you.

yes yona that things it's happed a lot of old woman do for yonger mane
