Oh wow , you are soooo ungrateful!
Wrong… you are wrong and ungrateful
I try to give diapers and wipes. That is all. I know they will be used. And yes, I will add a gift receipt just in case for whatever reason they’re the “wrong brand”. I will also never buy someone newborn size.

Get what your given and be grateful ,what a selfish person you are.
I mean it sucks when you don’t get what you put on the registry but I would not complain. If you don’t like the onesies, say thank you and either put them on the child or don’t. Baby showers really aren’t to save you money. Most people don’t have the expenses to get all that you want. Maybe for the bigger things you should ask grandparents or, God forbid, go with something less pricey. Be appreciative of people even showing up to the shower. Don’t even expect gifts from everyone. While you may think a certain way others may not.
You should be thankful for whatever you receive since it’s not technically anyone’s job to buy anything for your child so the fact that they are taking time and money to do so is a blessing

You are totally wrong! You also sound like an ass! I’m feeling bad for your child now…
As my kids kindergarten teacher taught them”you get what you get,and you don’t throw a fit.”What you don’t get at your shower you purchase yourself. I Received lots of unexpected gifts at my shower that I fell in love with and couldn’t live without. Just bc your having a baby doesn’t mean people owe you stuff. I’m not sure if your rude or ungrateful or maybe just not educated in this and have good intentions.

Personally I think guests should stick to the registry, because you never know if the couple you’re buying for already have the same item for their baby or if they don’t approve of a certain thing because it doesn’t fit the theme or something. Now it’s different if they choose to buy an item off the registry that is a different brand or cheaper price, but a similar item.

No I get it. I’m the same way when it comes to Christmas 
if I ask for something specific because you beg to know what I “want” for Christmas don’t buy me something “close” or off brand because I’m just going to end up buying the one I wanted myself after that anyway. 
If you can’t afford it but still want to get me something please just get me a gift card so I can save up for it 
I really don’t mind and it doesn’t show a “lack of thought” to me.
However! If I haven’t asked for it and you get it for me I will love it just the same. It’s just stuff hat I’ve said I specifically wanted (either in casual conversation or only because you’ve asked) that I get that way over. But I’ve never made a registry for any of my kids because I didn’t care about who got what for them I’ve even been gifted pink strollers and car seats (all my kids are boys) and used them for as long as I could lol

Sometimes people might not be able to afford the things on your registry and I get you want certain things like the bigger items and that’s fine but onesies? Clothes are going to be worn by your baby like three times before they grow out of them. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess this is your first child, cuz once you have one your gonna realize how stupid your post sounds. Be grateful anyone wants to give you anything.

I mean, the way I always saw it-be great full for the thought. Doesn’t matter what the gift is. When I had my first I was told I was having a girl. Had a girl shower and all. Two weeks before my due date I found out she was a he. Had to go to all the stores and return everything that was girl for boy. Missed out on some things because the stores wouldn’t all swap with no receipts ect. Yet, it didn’t matter. I was thankful for what I had to get me started. And guess what? I had reflux babies. Those 20 some “cute” onesies came in handy 
don’t get me wrong, I get wanting or needing certain items. But I don’t feel it’s your guests responsibility to get them.
Yeah you sound very ungrateful!! They don’t have to buy you SHIT, it’s the thought that counts… maybe they can’t afford “what” you wanted so they went with something else…
This shower biz is so out of control. The selfishness and spoiled mothers to be is awful… be grateful for the gifts you get from the kind and thoughtful persons that think enough to give!! It’s a real racket my dear!

Take a breath momma. Sounds like this is getting you really stressed out. Take a deep breath it will be okay.
I understand why you want what you have put a lot of thought into. A couple things to consider.
The best baby gift I received wasn’t on my registry at all. It was a bag of the stuff you overlook until that moment hits at 2am when you really need that thing you never thought of like the gas drops, spare medicine copper, or baby Tylenol. So some more experienced mom’s may buy you a gift of those things knowing they will save your butt one day when you really need it. You’ll likely show them in a closest and forget them until that moment you need them.
Second some people will buy items on your registry but not through it so you may get multiples of one thing you only need one of. It’s not unusual.
Third don’t give away any baby clothes unless they won’t fit baby. If you don’t like it save it for an at home day or use it as under shirt. There will be days you will have to change baby several times a day and you might need those onsies you don’t like.
As for things like specific bottles you can exchange them or keep them just in case baby decides they don’t like the bottles you chose. My third we tried 4 or 5 different bottles before we found one she would use. You never know!
You can plan all you want but baby always has their own ideas.

I used to think the same way, then I had a baby. I was given gifts that weren’t on the registry I so lovingly & thoughtfully researched & made. Many of those gifts that weren’t on the resigtry were things I didnt know I needed or wanted, but ended up using more than some of the items on my registry. I took the item gifted to me (even with a receipt) and took from the wisdom of Moms before me.

Honestly, you should be thankful to even have a baby shower and honored that people are attending with gifts. You may not think you sound ungrateful but your coming off sounding very unappreciative.
You should never expect anything from anyone. If you want something for your child, you get it. Tbh, I never go by registry’s, I like to shop for things for baby and I always get what I think baby can use or need. The registry’s I feel take the fun out of things sometimes.

How I see it, the registry is of things that you absolutely want from guests. Some won’t follow it, some will. I don’t see it as being ungrateful because when you do a registry, you tend to put things that you want on it. I’ve had family ask me what I absolutely wanted and they got just that. I’ve had family stray from the list. I would also suggest having a gift card option that way if you don’t get the things you wanted, you can get them. Also, I believe in gift receipts because what if you don’t need that particular size of diapers anymore or the wrong size was bought. Or maybe you got multiples of the same baby monitor or maybe multiple of the same bottles and they ended up not working.

I really hope you didn’t speak this out loud to anyone.

Onsies lol after a few blowouts spit ups your not gunna care what you put on your baby sometimes. And you don’t even know if the bottles you picked out are even gunna be accepted by your baby. This must be your first rodeo. You’re not entitled to gifts, people are not required to buy you anything. Be lucky they willingly spent money on you. If you wanted to save money you should of been saving as soon as you found out you were pregnant. Like really when have you heard of anyone wanting to buy someone a crib or matress for their baby shower. Were you expecting to not have to buy these things?

Yes, you’re wrong. A baby shower is a celebration OF the baby, not a gimmie gimmie gimmie for gifts. If it’s such a strain on you to buy all the shit YOUR baby needs, you’re not ready to have a baby. I didnt have one for either of my babies. It sucked and I was hurt no one wanted to celebrate with me, but I also bought everything my child needed.
What did I just read?? Is this a serious question/statement??? 
I have 3 kids. Every single thing I got I was beyond grateful for, if you want something specific go buy it. NOBODY HAS TO GET YOU A DAMN THING BUT THEY CHOOSE TO, BE GRATEFUL!!!

Not everyone has the money to buy expensive gift you list on your registry. Who cares if you get onesies instead of the bottles. Honestly if you can’t afford to purchase those things yourself you shouldn’t be having a baby to begin with. You can’t expect people to buy every single thing that the baby needs if you don’t get something buy it yourself.

I think you should be financially responsible for what you need for your baby. Luckily, I received what I needed off my registry, but at my shower I got a crap ton of other stuff that I really really loved and liked. Babies grow so fast anyways. Don’t dwell so much on the clothes. At least they’re thinking of you and your baby and getting you something!!! If you’re really picky about stuff, then just buy it yourself that way you know you will like it for sure!
Wow!!! Sometimes people buy you things that are not on your registry because they had a similar item that they LOVED when they had a baby…in hopes that the new mother will also like it. Sometimes, people show extra grace by purchasing something on the registry in addition to something that isn’t on the registry for that reason. If someone buys a different bottle then what is on your list…so be it. You can never have to many bottles and whose to say that the bottles you chose, your baby will even like?!
The idea of a baby shower is NOT to save the couple money…it’s to celebrate a new blessing that will be joining your family. A new mom should be appreciative and grateful for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that a guest showers her with!! If you don’t want to show your guests that, you shouldn’t have a shower.

A baby shower is to celebrate a new life coming into the world, and a couple becoming a family. Not to save you money. Gift registries were created for people who are terrible at gift giving to have an idea what to get.

TRUST ME you’re going to use those onesies whether their “your style” or not. Spit ups, blow outs and leaky diapers have you going through them more than you go through toilet paper… trust me unless you plan on living your life in the laundry room, you’re going to appreciate that kind of gift.

You’re honest to God expecting people to buy you the big purchases like a mattress? Be grateful that someone even bought you one at all, even the cheapest crib mattresses are north of $50…If you want expensive options it’s rude to expect someone else to buy it for you.
-
you’ll be surprised to find out that you can meticulously choose the type of bottle you want your child to use, but that doesn’t mean your child is going to like it. Each of my three kids were super picky about the bottle, picky about the nipple, gassy and spit up with one type, refused to latch on to a particular nipple. You’ll be grateful to have options instead of 10 of the same kind…especially if it’s at 2 am
-
If your shower guests are parents already they know these things. If you’re looking for someone to pay for your child’s necessities, you’re not ready to have a baby in the first place. Gifts come from the heart with thought put into them and you sound pretty selfish and spoiled if I’m being perfectly honest.
The phrase “looking a gift horse in the mouth” comes to mind

This is a first baby! Bless your heart momma you are gonna learn the hard way!
Registries is a guide of what you would like not something you are required to get.
When I buy a gift it’s things new parents don’t know they will need when that baby hits 2 months old or older. Some things you will use before 2 months old.
Learn to be thankful that people are showering you with gifts because you could be left buying everything yourself.
