Wow. Everyone on here needs to get off their high horses. Talking about celebrating the baby? People get gifts because they like them, not because they’re celebrating the baby. The guests allegedly care about the mother too right? Wouldn’t they want to help her AND her new baby? One way to do this is to actually listen to her about what she needs. Think she’s wrong? Talk to her about it. Don’t force your own thoughts and experiences on her. Stop thinking about GETTING appreciation and think about GIVING some help and love and EARN the appreciation.

They are GIFTS. Things GIVEN to you FROM THE KINDNESS IN OTHERS. Yes, you should be a bit ashamed of yourself. If you want specifics then buy them yourself!

I didn’t even want a baby shower but got a surprise one anyway, no lists just close family and friends and the gifts was beautiful, u sound super ungrateful u opened your legs and got pregnant not the guests (sorry but not sorry)
Br thankful because people don’t and I repeat don’t have to buy nothing you sound ungrateful and spoiled
A baby shower is suppose to be to celebrate your pregnancy and your beautiful baby… it’s not about gifts smh 
I wouldn’t want to attend your baby shower no offence, you sound extremely greedy. You should be grateful they thought of you and your family at all.
Also a side note- you never know someone’s finances so maybe some people can’t purchase of your registry as it’s out of their price zone. Be considerate of other people as well not just yourself.

I think you should be thankful for any gift given as you are entitled to nothing.

My advice is- if you are relaying on others to buy what you need and want for your coming baby … maybe you should have thought about the cost of a child before getting pregnant? You should be thankful for any thing someone buys YOUR CHILD.

Okay but the problem with only following the registry is people come from all walks of life and while I only asked for diapers wipes pacifiers etc. My family friend asked for a 900 dollar crib, one of those 300 dollar baby swings, a changing table, etc. Which is why I bought nothing on her list.

You sound like a brat honestly. Like I got some tacky ass stuff for my baby shower, but I was still thankful that people thought of me and my family and wanted to help us prepare for our child. Lots of my favorite things I use everyday were off registery items I didn’t think of, but were beyond helpful. If there are things you’re picky about either buy them yourself or make sure to tell someone hosting the party so they can pass that along in a much more tactful way.
You do sound ungrateful sorry to say be grateful people are actually wasting their money on you especially since we are going thru a world pandemic. Some people exaggerate on the registry why did you put the mattress you n dad should purchase.this so on top of sounding ungrateful you are.also coming of as inconsiderate and greedy n selfish.
The baby shower is to celebrate the baby. They are gifts, be grateful…nothing says you can’t return them without a receipt…and side note, you may want a specific bottle and have that one in mind but baby knows what they want. They could refuse that bottle all together. You need to calm down mama, this should be the least of your worries. In addition, a registry is for IDEAS

You should be grateful they bought you anything. A baby is no one’s responsibility but the mother’s and father’s. Anything you get is someone spending THEIR money on YOUR child because they want to. I told everyone gifts were optional for my baby shower. I got pacifiers even though I never wanted to use them (and didn’t). I got bottles and my baby never took one. But I was GRATEFUL for the gesture. I cant imagine ever being mad that I didn’t get “exactly what I want”. And I spent DAYS researching baby products for my registry. If you’re that picky, buy it yourself.

I wouldn’t know as I never did a registry for either of my kids. I was grateful for everything I received and never complained. I even had newborn diapers I couldn’t use since my son was over 10 lbs. We either gave them to someone who could use them with permission from the giver or were allowed to exchange for a different size. The parents and siblings bought the larger things. I’m not expecting anyone to get me something outrageous like that but the parents and siblings insisted. We agreed for the first child but we bought our own for the 2and child. I have never bought anything from the registry for anyone. I have looked at it but, I get what I can

That is very ungrateful. I recieved alot of things from my baby shower and actually got alot of doubles of things, which was great because babies ruin their clothes and blankets etc so you NEED those things you never asked for. And everyone is right its your responsibility to buy to big things like the cot and pram and mattress. The gifts are for your baby not you! I also recieved some outfits that werent my taste, but when your baby needs warm clothes, who cares! Times are tough for everyone right now just be thankful you got anything.

My sister did mostly everything for my first two showers, after that I had a small one for my third put together by some work friends. My sister and my mom go all out. They get huge gifts for diaper raffles and games, make tremendous amounts of food… in my family it’s always been a thing to make it worth the guests time if they’re coming to give someone else gifts, but I guess everyone has their own opinion. If I only wanted to receive gifts from a registry, I wouldn’t even bother having a shower, I’d just share links to my registry or make some kind of announcement with where you’re registered.
I REALLY hope whose ever post this is takes a good look at the comments then a very good look in the mirror. She should be ashamed and embarrassed by this. No wonder it was posted anonymously.

Would tether give money,
Your a ungrateful little bitch!! I wouldn’t buy you or your family a damn gift after reading this. You should be happy that people bought you some stuff. If you want that stuff so bad go spend your own damn money on it. You probably picked the most expensive stuff & people couldn’t afford it from what your post says. You sound like a spoiled little bitch.
A baby shower was a celebration thrown by family an friends to help out a bit and spoil with gifts. Nothing should ever be expected! You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.
Most places allow returns of baby items without a receipt and if they didint then I’d bless someone else with anything I couldn’t use or return.
You are not entitled to a single gift, you want something specific then you buy it.

I never buy from the registry because the mom always forgets about herself…
I normally put together a basket with breastfeeding needs (if she’s planning on it) or formula (if that’s the route she chooses) plus epsom salt and bubble bath and lotion and hand sanitizer and a candle and a bottle of wine. If they are close friends or family I grab a onesie or blanket to take the first time we meet baby

Wow. You all sound rude!! I don’t see anything wrong with it. Obviously you shouldn’t expect them to buy ridiculously expensive gifts and gifts aren’t required but daaaaaang. Of course it’s not wrong to ask for things that are useful… or maybe things you’ve researched and might be safer for the life you created.
Depending on how much the things on your registry cost maybe they can’t afford it, so they get what they could. I brought everything for my baby and only asked for diapers, wipes, t-shirts and the small things.

Yes you’re wrong on so many levels
I’ve bought all my babies stuff because I’m picky af and I know what I like so I just bought it 
mamaroo 4, mockingbird stroller, maxi cosi car seat, oribel cocoon high chair, baby Brezza formula pro advanced, bottle sterilizer/dryer and baby food maker deluxe all came out of my pocket because they aren’t cheap but I wanted them and not something cheaper just because someone else thought it was more affordable for them. If you want specific things buy them yourself 
Most of the time all gifts if they are from your registry or not, come with a gift receipt. Accept the gifts with a smile on your face, say thank you & return or exchange what you don’t want. Isn"t that what you will tell your child at his/her birthday parties? Don’t be ungrateful. They went to the trouble to purchase something for you. Be nice, don’t be that nasty person. Sometimes, they may get you something you didn’t think of!
That is completely 100% rude. I for one wouldn’t even go to a shower if I knew that’s how you felt. Time to grow up. If you can’t afford to buy your own baby what they need maybe you shouldn’t be having a kid yet. So will Christmas and birthdays be the same?

It’s about celebrating the baby! Plus I don’t like ordering stuff online, it can get lost, you can get the wrong thing, take extra long to get there, etc. I’d just rather shop in person! I usually personally message the mom and ask what size and blah blah blah. But you don’t even know if your baby will take the bottle you want, or not break out to the diapers/wipes you want. It’s about the baby.

For people saying dont be ungrateful, my niece once received 4 diaper genies and it made those four people feel like idiots (and they were very vocal about it) Registries do matter. I tend to give 2 gives because I love the people who are having the showers. One of that I chose with my heart and one from their registry.
Yes youre wrong. Recipient should be thankful for whatever they are gifted or not accept the gifts. Ive seen some registrys that only had name bramd expensive items and id be damned if im spending $45 on a three pack of infant onesies that a baby will probably wear once,if that! Baby showers are supposed to be fun, youre clearly in it for the wrong reasons. Just dont accept their gifts and tell them you want what you want. Maybe they know you better than we do and will put up with the demands?
That said, id love to buy off your registry, is there anything in particular youd need first or something that you really wanted and didnt get? In being serious by the way!
Be grateful for what people kindly give to you. Thank them for the gift and their kindness and shut your ungrateful mouth.

Some first time mothers don’t even think of everything they might need. It isn’t wrong to ask for the things you need, but appreciate the gifts you receive.
Maybe you should examine your heart and learn to be humble and thankful. I sew and I spend hours, days, and sometimes weeks making special things for people because I think it’s worth more than anything I could buy store bought when someone takes their time to make something specifically for you. I’m glad I won’t be attending any showers with anyone that has that outlook.

What does it matter? I get the type of bottles,but can always go exchange it. My baby showers no one ever bought off any registry I made,but I just went with it and bought whatever was left I needed myself and exchanged any bottles…bc my babies always have acid reflux and tommee tippi work best. Everyone wants to give the bottles that worked for their kids…mainly dr browns. Those always made mine spit up worse. Don’t know why…but just did. Tried almost every bottle and tommee tippie soothed my babies best. Loved everything I received…even if wasn’t what asked for

It’s not like you can’t exchange the items. Most stores won’t let you return them for cash unless you have a receipt, but you still can get store credit usually. I have done it.

Wow! Entitled much? A baby shower is the opportunity for people to give you gifts for the baby. Most parents to be take what they get with gratitude and thanks. The baby’s parents to be should buy the crib,the bottles etc. That way you get exactly what you want. Don’t expect shower guests to be forking out big bucks on the high ticket items! Holy cow! You need a few lessons on etiquette. I certainly hope you don’t pass this attitude of entitlement to your offspring.

No. you aren’t entitled to baby shower gifts at all and what you get is what you get. (Granted I personally think it should be common courtesy to provide gift receipts) You can not be picky about the generosity of others. You round up everything you got from baby shower and whatever you still need, YOU buy it.
Just to add…
The baby shower is a celebration of having a baby, it’s not a thing for people to come and provide for you and the baby that YOU MADE. If YOU need it, then YOU need to buy it. It’s no one else’s problem.
You sound like a spoiled, ungrateful, brat! You should just cancel your baby shower, someone might accidentally buy something for THE BABY that’s super cute.
Your an idiot.

I completely get where you are coming from. It does sound ungrateful but if you are pregnant I am guessing you are cycling through a bunch of emotions. When I was pregnant I would fixate on one thing and just really rant about it. Lol. My poor husband.
After my shower I realize I should have only registered for the necessities because I got a lot of cute stuff. however, I didn’t receive one practical burp cloth or enough diapers. People bought tons of cute things that I didn’t really need or only bought the cute stuff off my registry.
My suggestion is clean up your registry, don’t make demands of your friends and family, and take a breather.
Simple put. Yes you are wrong and selfish
Don’t be a snobby cunt. Easy.
Oh I ended up with rediculous crap that I just turned around and donated. Crazy picture frames and glass ornaments are not something I needed and certainly didn’t want. I would have been thrilled if each person had just brought a pack of baby wipes and enjoyed dinner.

Beggers can’t be choosers. Like I tell my kids. You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit. People are not required to purchase strictly from your registry even though its what you want. Plus those bottles you may think will work for your baby may not work at all. I received 4 different types of bottles, the one I really liked the baby does not. If you want a specific item then you should purchase it. At least I did. If someone asks you hey what do you want or need then you can say I would really like this that I also put on my registry. And right now there are a lot of people struggling because of this covid so anything you do receive on or off your registry you should be grateful.

You should have already bought everything you need and what you receive is just a helping hand… i hope you can raise that baby completely on your own cause your “village” isn’t gonna want help anymore if you keep that attitude up…
