It’s not wrong but it’s your choice what you do with it I guess… sometimes new moms don’t think of things that are actually really helpful/useful. I think it’s RUDE to ask for a gift and then expect it to be something you picked tho… you don’t have to tell someone you returned their gift. I feel like you sound ungrateful and entitled though, you should be happy people care bout your ass enough to come celebrate your child… 
I’m just gonna hope you are in a foul mood today and will rethink this. The registry is a suggestive measure, not mandatory.

Sounding a little ungrateful there. No one HAS to buy u anything. Be thankful and appreciative for what u do receive. If u just HAVE to have certain things, then u should purchase them yourself.

You sound like a brat, tbh.
First of all, babies look cute in anything.
Second of all, mattresses are mattresses. It’s not like it needs to sleep on a temper-pedic/memory foam mattress. The baby will be comfortable regardless.
And a lot of times, yes, ppl tend to buy what’s not on the registry. And guess what- surprise! You’re gonna end up needing what they got you.
Honestly, you should be grateful that you’re even getting a baby shower- especially during a pandemic.
I never got to have a baby shower and my s/o and I had to buy our own things and my son is almost 5 now and he’s NEVER been without.

Ungrateful, feel sorry for the life you will be giving this child. Grow up before you become a parent.
You are not mature enough …
Uh you went from saying stuff you need to crying about baby clothes your baby will outgrow in a week lmao. Just so you know, your wrinkled little alien will not fit into clothes correctly. Be grateful your receiving anything. Gratitude goes a long way. Since half of those people at your shower will disappear before your baby’s first birthday

I can’t say you’re wrong but I will say you’re super ungrateful. People are spending money on the baby YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND made, those things you needed? You two should be able to afford that without anyone spending money on you in the first place.
You two should be buying essentials and if your family and friends get you things off the need list, then that’s good but don’t hop on here to complain about people spending money on a child that isn’t even theirs.

Lmao, they are there to celebrate your baby with gifts they think is appropriate not to your demand.
If you’re only wanting stuff that is specific on your list, why not skip the baby shower and just buy your OWN stuff. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

I never really thought of it that way. Im about to be a mommy of 4… I’ve always wanted certain things for my baby shower as well . I never thought that people had to buy everything i asked for because i know the stuff i like is a bit pricey but ive always asked for gift cards if people couldn’t get something or if they couldn’t buy a certain thing mainly because i can use towards something i want and need which is awesome and so helpful. But no one really ever got me anything i wanted so the baby shower was pointless and a waste of money . I mean it’s nice to spend the time with friends and family but i would have rather spend the money and time in just getting the things i needed in the first place. Im always grateful as well for all the gifts i receive just something i think about after it’s all over lol nothing i ever say speak about. 
Try just asking for diapers and wipes only that way you can’t be dissapointed ! That’s what i did with baby #3 
Be grateful & thankful that u had a baby shower & that people are showering you with love & gifts for ur baby! Not everyone is that blessed!

Wow.

I always have and still believe that baby showers are a celebration of the new baby its just a perk you get gifts from some people. but like birthday parties you shouldn’t do it just for gifts but to have friends and family celebrate with you.

WOW! A certain mattress you want someone to buy for you, certain bottles they will eat from. Ok first of a reality check, your baby will tell you what they will drink from and sleep on. You could buy the most luxurious of bottles but that baby may prefer the bottle from dollar general and that will be all they eat from. You think that baby will like that mattress but they may not sleep unless they are in a swing. Secondly if I caught that type of attitude comijg to your baby shower with a gift I would turn around and leave. A registry is a suggestion of the gifts you would like. Not an absolute.

Just FYI the registry list is a suggestive gift list for people that don’t know what to buy for your kid as a gift. PS be grateful everyone is in a bad time financially or have you forgotten the world is in a crisis I say you buy your kid the things she/he needs and donate what you do get!

Save $ since day 1. Buy little by little the things that you want and are comfortable with and the things u like. Don’t expect for ppl to go by your registry. Grow up and buy the things yourself. Your baby, your taste, your comfort, your responsibility 
Baby showers are suppose to be for first time parents. Sometimes people get you what they think you will need vs things you want. Be thankful and not so quick to return things you may need those things.

I enjoy making homemade gifts, tie-dyeing onesies for example or making a diaper cake or bouquet for special friends and family. I try to get small things off the registry to incorporate into those gifts too. If there was a stipulation to only buy off the registry I’d probably pass on going and maybe send a card, depending on how close I was with the person.
Remember a lot of people don’t think the have the registry checked and you’re bound to end up with 3 or more of the same thing as most people will have the same budget and spend accordingly
But all in all, you sound incredibly ungrateful

Yeah, you’re wrong. I wouldn’t even go to a shower if this is what is expected. Not everyone can afford what you may have picked out, or maybe it’s sold out where the giver shops, or maybe they would like to make you a handmade gift. Might as well pass a hat around at the shower so you can get cash from everyone while you’re at it.

If you don’t like something, you can try and do no receipt returns and receive store credit. So yes you are a billion percent wrong! What if someone used their last $30 to buy what they could afford? Jeez. You need a reality check. I would be embarrassed to be your mother, as you have no manners!

But it’s not up to anyone else to provide the basic needs for your baby but YOU. you’re a selfish brat. But keep having that princess mindset. I’m sure it’ll get you far in life.

No, you’re not wrong. It’s an older generational thing. Etiquette has changed. If you do not want to buy something on the registry then you should give cash or a gift card. No one wants stuff filling up their house that they won’t use. It makes no sense for the person spending money to waste it on something unwanted nor does it makes sense for the person to keep something they will never use and just have it take space.
Wow. You’re ungrateful asf and you don’t deserve shit if this is your mentality.
Tf… I had my baby shower to celebrate my baby before he came 
Also if you wanted it that way you should have let it be known that you only wanted things from the registry bc you think anything else is unnecessary. Also did you have affordablethings on your registry?

You sound extremely ungrateful and should be happy with anything you get.
I understand where you’re coming from. With my first I had a registry of items I carefully researched & wanted. For example I had a car seat & wanted the matching travel system. That way my mom & I could switch car seats between cars & stroller. I happened to be pregnant the year Montgomery Ward’s & Kmart were both closing/liquidating. I got nothing on my registry. My aunt used it as a guide. I asked for a travel system so she & a few cousins got me a travel system but it didn’t match, car seats couldn’t be interchanged. I got a ton of stuff I never used. They just bought whatever on liquidation. Nothing could be returned. The way I see it is beggars can’t be choosers. It’s rude to tell people what to buy. A registry is just a tool. On the flip side I always give diapers now. I don’t want my gifts to end up in a thrift store like many of mine did. Every new mom needs diapers.
I think every gift should have a gift receipt attached. BUT I also don’t believe in baby showers to get gifts. If you can’t afford the bottle set or mattress you want… maybe you shouldn’t haven’t kids. The baby items will be least expensive from why you have to spend to raise them.

I really hope for your babies sake that it decides it like the bottles you only want it to have… ya know because babies are their own person and will refuse certain bottles… I mean hey if you don’t use them that’s ok, sell them. But at least you know you’ll have them if the need arises.

Okay first of all, I think we can find a better way to say this. If you dislike or don’t want something someone has brought then pass it on. Registries are awesome and celebrating a new life is awesome! If you prefer people buy only off registry you can state that fact on your invite. Now it might also effect how many people show because it does sound a bit rude.

It’s a baby shower, to shower the baby with love regardless what “you” get it’s showing love for your baby. You can sit and complain about people not getting the right bottles but honestly every baby’s different and prefer different nipples. Along with diapers, not every child can wear certain diapers. Hopefully you can start appreciating things for what they are before that baby arrives or you’re going to have no support system or friends that want to come visit. And trust me, it takes a village.
