I think you are letting pregnancy hormones get the best of you. You sound incredibly selfish and ungrateful. They are giving you a gift…if you dont like what they give you, buy it yourself. Its honestly not as big of a deal as you are trying to make it… the registry is to give people and idea of what you need/ want, but no way should the be obligated to only buy the pattern/ brand or specific item on a list. Its not anyone else’s job to buy the stuff you need, so be grateful if the do buy stuff. Period.the only time I would return a gift is if I recieved 2 of an item.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought a baby shower was to celebrate the baby! The little miracle growing inside you that’s about to be brought into this world! I didn’t have a shower, but if I did I wouldn’t expect my guests to buy me/baby anything. I bought everything my baby needed, as do most people! All the gifts i got when my baby was born were clothes and outfits, and o was more than grateful for that because honestly clothes are expensive, even if some weren’t quite to my taste
I had a baby shower with my second and last baby. No one was expected to buy anything (if they chose to get something then its up to them)… My baby shower was to celebrate a baby coming into the family with close family and friends… Played some games, had good food and everyone was happy. I was grateful for the gifts we did receive

Eww!!! I was so grateful for everything I got.
You sound like a control freak. Seriously. I’m not saying this to irritate you, I’m saying it because you need to hear it. When that baby comes, you are in for a rude awakening. Relax. Chill. Take each hour of each day as it comes and learn to roll with the punches.
As for the shower issue …
The purpose for a shower is to receive loving gifts for the baby before it is born, so that you’ll know what you still need to buy. If you started out needing to buy 100% of the items, and after the shower, you still need to buy 100% of the items you wanted, you’ve lost nothing. You’ve gained the gifts from your family and loved ones that THEY wanted you to have and that they thought might be useful … or at the very least, appreciated. By the time that baby is 2 months old and has spit up 4 or five times and pooped or peed through 6 diapers by noon, you’re not going to care what that onesie looks like … you’re going to be grateful you have a clean outfit to put on that baby. When this happens, you’re going to think back to this post, and hopefully you’re going to laugh through your frustration and shake your head and say to yourself “what was I thinking??”.
Good luck, new mom. Being a parent is one wild ride that hopefully you are going to adjust to, and learn to love

Omg please don’t tell me you are broke and thought you could make it off your baby shower gifts. Buy some damn bottles yourself
We had a baby shower and we didn’t have a gift registry we just wanted to ger our friends and families together to enjoy and celebrate a new addition. They bought gifts because they wanted to not because we asked for something specific. You should be greatful for several reasons a) there are several women who will never have a baby shower because they cannot have children b) In This current climate where people are being made redundant and may not have alot of money they have still taken time and money to but you something c) you will soon realise with children that you will never get your own way again d) if this is the king of temper tantrum you throw wait till your in a supermarket at your little one wants something you can’t get

Oh wow how rude and ungrateful. I would never want to be invited to your baby showers…Here’s the deal people spend what they can afford. . Your guests are not your charity fund. I strongly suggest on your invitations that you ask for no gifts and an anonymous donation to a wishing well so that you can buy but u need. However if they prefer to bring a gift of their choice then thats fine to, and suck it up with grace and manners.

You ungrateful that, you should be thankful you got a tbing
Why dont you just by your own shit and dont have a shower. This view is pathetic and so discouraging for humanity.
Honestly it bugged me when people went out and bought me stuff that wasn’t on my registry. I literally ended up with three baby baths. (I gave the other two away). But what a waste of a gift if the person you’re giving it to doesn’t want or need it. Honestly I think it’s really inconsiderate if they posted that they had a registry and the people thought they knew what was best to get the new mom. I was super considerate and made sure there was low priced items as well as larger items I needed. The whole thing about saying people couldn’t afford to get them an expensive gift is just bull bc you literally can choose the option on registries like target and amazon to pay for part of the gift and pool your money together.

Could always have someone make an event page and all the guests can post what they already bought so no ones buying duplicates. Sometimes going a different route can solve the problem rather than seeming like a huge inconvenience.

I don’t think people should ONLY buy off the registry however, I also think it’s nice for guests to consider the registry and what the family needs when buying gifts. I think the purpose of a shower is to celebrate the baby AND to bless the family. Usually what will bless them the most is what they put in their registry. That being said, handmade gifts are always special and the love and effort behind them needs to be appreciated. Also, most ppl love buying baby clothes. I do. So generally I buy an item off the registry and a small outfit/hair bow, etc. The new mom gets what she need to take care of the baby, I get my cute baby clothes shopping fix.

Yes, you are wrong… Some folks may not be able to afford to buy you the items on your registry or the item they may have been able to afford had already been purchased by someone else, so they decide to buy you what is in their budget… It’s the thought that counts, right? I have always looked at a registry as a “wish list” be it for a wedding or baby shower…

Ok, laughing done now.
You and partner decided to have a baby, not the guests at your baby shower. You cant expect people to be buying fancy bottles and crib mattresses that you want. You should buy that because it’s your baby so you should be spending alot of money!!! Not guests 
You should also be grateful for whatever you get gifted as people do not have to buy anything, but they choose to bless you with a gift.

I’m sorry but you sound pretty ungrateful. Many times a new, first time mother has no idea about the little things that are very helpful, and would not put on a registry. And seasoned veteran mothers do know. And many can’t afford the things people put on their registry. If you get the bottles you don’t want, take them back and exchange them for the ones you want. I know that things are a little different right now with the covid thing but most places will exchange unopened items. And most of all, be thankful for the blessings of family and friends that are there and give you gifts. I didn’t have a baby shower for my babies, like many others have stated, and loved the things I received.

I agree with you! I just had my son in October and I put all kinds of stuff on the registry. Expensive stuff, inexpensive stuff, asked for gift cards, etc. I still had people get stuff I will never ever use. Or get something that my husband and I already bought. While I appreciate the gift, it’s not going to get used. Wouldn’t you rather get someone something they are going to use? Seems like wasted money to me, especially when no gift receipt is given.

the first thing I took away from this is that she is going to have a child that she will raise with this spoiled, entitled attitude. I understand we all like what we like but my goodness, these people are graciously spending their earned money on presents for her baby shower (a lot of mothers don’t even get one btw) and she’s already complaining over what they might possibly gift her? my kids learned a phrase from school that I have to remind them from time to time, could apply here maybe? its “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit”. I am sorry…I don’t want to be one of those negative trolls but after reading this post? kinda grinded my gears a little. so many of us parents are trying to teach our littles the value of appreciating what we have because things don’t matter in the end. our kids won’t remember clothes or toys as much as time spent with them, words spoken, actions done. I buy things for my kids of course! but I make sure they also know things like kindness, generosity, etc etc. ok I’m rambling, I’m done. I guess I should have just wrote “ugh, that’s a sad, sad life she must live where things matter that much”

My cousin had a drive-by baby shower 2 weeks ago. She even asked that people give her their 2nd hand items if they had (clothes included). There was no registry. No expectations. Just a guideline of clothing sizes & her sister gave us the option of contributing to a voucher if we were unsure. A lot of the men in the family bought her diapers.
Those who brought 2nd hand clothing told her to go through the stuff, take out what she likes or needed and donate the rest to a charity.
I have no time for ungrateful people. I give what I can & I do it with Love for the mother & baby.

Wrong. A baby shower is held to celebrate your baby. If someone buys something not on the registry, they were trying to be thoughtful. I buy stuff for the baby shower that I think would celebrate new life, be meaningful and remind the parents and baby of me. Hopefully one day when they look at photo’s of baba wearing that onesie or playing with that toy, they will tell baba that gift came from so and so out of LOVE not NECESSITY.

most moms are grateful to have outfits to choose from, boxes upon boxes of diapers + wipes to store, and having the luxury of any other item someone gifts you.
be humble. be grateful. i promise during the life, moments, and struggles you get with your child you will not be thinking about your baby shower gift registry.
You seem to feel really entitled. Baby shower should be a celebration and people should be able to give what they want and sorry if it inconvenience you to go out and change items you don’t want. When planning to have a baby make sure you are able to afford the things you need. What a cheek to think that others should be gifting your child’s needs. Be grateful for any gifts you receive and see them as a bonus not an entitlement

I think the point is to celebrate the birth of a baby. Some of the best gifts I received were not on my registry, especially as a first time parent, sometimes others know better items than you.
My baby shower is literally today and I didn’t even make a registry because I wanted everyone to feel free to buy whatever fits their price range or alot of them just blessed me with hand me downs. I’m not worried about what I do or don’t get. She will have everything because before I even thought about having a child I made sure I could afford it. You sound extremely ungrateful.

Some gifts you receive will be things you didn’t ask for but you also didn’t know you needed. Maybe no one wants to pay the price of the crib mattress but they’re willing to help buy diapers and wipes out of love for you and baby. Be thankful for any gifts that you receive. Remember, the guests at your shower didn’t decide to make a baby and it isn’t their responsibility to provide things it needs. They are giving gifts out of kindness and love.

I was grateful for any gift received ( we actually said on the invitation don’t feel obligated to bring a gift because we care about the presence of our loved ones not the presents).

Be thankful people wanted to help celebrate the pregnancy by providing a gift- period. You must be capable of providing what the child needs yourself anyway. The baby shower is intended to be a celebration and if the guest chooses to buy cute clothes over what you want them to buy than so be it. If they buy off the registry, great, if not, it’s still great and kind of them.

In my opinion the baby shower is to get together and celebrate your new baby… ppl around you are excited for you! Gifts are just a bonus of it… nobody should be expected to absolutely buy you anything… they didn’t tell you to have a baby and they don’t owe you anything. However it is super nice when people choose to buy or contribute to what you truly want and need but also people may just not have the means to buy what you desire so if they saw a onesie that they thought was cute and it was in their price range then I think it is just nice to say thank you
