BUFFALO NY--A pregnant woman was arrested Sunday after she left her four young children home alone to attend her own baby shower.

Lillie P. Maxwell, 26, of Buffalo, was charged with eight counts of misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.

Her children, who range in age from 5 months to 11 years old, were left in an apartment strewn with rotting food, open liquor bottles and decaying uncooked beef in the kitchen sink, police said.

Her 22-month-old son suffered from a possible abdominal hernia and was taken to a hospital, police said.

Police said the children were so cold they raised the heat themselves, placing it at 80 degrees.

Maxwell was arrested when she returned from the shower. She is being held on $2,500 bail.

Of course marital status is not mentioned. This means the kids are poor bastards possibly from multiple dads.

Or even, multiple dads each. It's hard to keep track, you know...

Gee....Dad was not available to watch the kids? Oh, that's right, welfare queen. Off to celebrate yet another increase in her monthly booze and drug check

My sister had her 2nd baby a year ago, but a baby shower was truly necessary. She had long since given away everything she had received from the first, since there was a 15 year age difference between them.

Ahhhhh!! Nothing better than some 'shine with a musky edge. What kind of cheese and crackers should I serve with this "tasty" musk 'shine? I don't think the French have a suitable cheese yet for this treat, would goat cheese do?( I get a discount at the local Muslim collective market, so I was hoping something would be o.k. from there.)

In my circle of friends, most of us have three or four kids each...I think we did a shower everytime. Things wear out, styles change. I went through three or four strollers and three car seats at least for four kids. Plus, getting together was just a lot of fun. Of course, all of us had husbands to take care of the other kids while we ladies had fun! Now we are going to graduations and soon, I guess, weddings! I expect my daughter will be first since I was the "early bloomer" of the group.

Is it customary to have a shower for each child?

Not if they are from the same father.
