Be grateful anyone buys you ANYTHING. Some moms don’t even have family or friends to buy them a pack of diapers let alone something of your choosing.

Yes you are so wrong ! Think of the registry as a wish list ! I was so grateful for diapers and never expected the things I see on people’s registries ! If you choose to return an item that’s on you but definitely be grateful for what someone got for the baby because you never know what financial situation people are in !

Yes you’re wrong, ungrateful, and entitled. You should be grateful someone took the time to choose something and spend their hard earned money on your baby. You want something specific that badly, go buy it.

Yikes. No personal touches? Not sure i would want to attend your shower. Yes registries are great but i would want my guest to be comfortable with whatever they bring.
You should appreciate what people buy you
Anything the baby NEED is your responsibility.

Most things you get are things you will use and just dont know it yet cause the moms buying them have experience you dont. Priceless. And if someone buys something they think is cute but you dont, well, to bad… their money and maybe after baby has outgrown you can sell it. Be thankful for whatever you get and accept advice, hand me downs, anything people are willing to share! It means they are happy for you and care.

I think what upsets me more than your entitled attitude is that you will be raising the future generation. I hope these comments put things into perspective for you and that you can instill morals and values into your future children. Lead by example. The last thing this world needs is more narcissistic people that think that society owes them anything.

My granny will find stuff on sale and know someone has a baby shower coming up and she will go ahead and get it so i dont think its rude. I think if u find something u want to get someone then do it its called a gift. I do get where your coming from but if im at the store and find something im going go ahead and get it instesd of going somewhere else later. I make sure its something useful but half the time when i go im not going to hunt for a registery. My cousin just made a fb page and posted on it and she already had the big stuff and said what she already had and just said im decorating with dinosaurs and heres a list of things id like and whatever u give i appriciate and went from there. Maybe some stuff like bottles say u want a certain kind go buy that stuff yourself that way u wont have to take back.
If you were my friend and even mentioned something like this to me, friendship over. If you WANT those things for YOUR child buy it yourself. You sound real bitchy.

Also this is a good reason to make sure you have a variety of lower priced items on your registry so there are options for those on a budget. If you only put high priced items of course a lot people aren’t going to be able to buy from the registry
Some ppls registry are flat out ridiculous…they add a bunch of shit that they think will be useful and we already know it wont be!
have a card shower. Or dont have a shower 
then u can bitch about what u didnt get.

My niece is expecting and I intend to buy off her registry because I want her to have what she wants and needs. But the first thing on her registry was a gift card. Maybe people should consider giving gift cards if they don’t like the selection made by the mother. Also there should always be a gift receipt included Incase it is a duplicate or the mother wants to exchange it. My opinion, I don’t care what your opinion is.

I’m a very blunt person. So I understand where you’re coming from with this and I can kind of understand how you are feeling and I agree with it to some extent. I agree that you need things and that’s why you asked for him so it would be nice if people would buy them hence the fact of the baby shower however some people can’t afford certain things and get things on sale or at thrift stores that they think you might like as a gift so for that be grateful yes. But I do understand if you don’t get what you ask for then you do have to go out and spend your own money on it.

I understand where you are coming from in terms of saving money peoples money. By becoming a parent, you made the decision to care for that child on your own. You and the father will definitely have to buy things with your own money. The type of clothes whether they are cute or ugly will not matter when they get covered in poop. The post does come off as ungrateful but I hope you mean well. Plus a lot of people don’t understand registries so please make sure to thank everyone for the gifts you receive! If you don’t like them, donate to someone in need or try taking it to a baby trading store. Baby showers are not meant to benefit the parents, but it’s to welcome the baby on the way. Be thankful for those who attend and provide you with gifts whether you like them or not!

Instead of bashing mom maybe a positive answer could be to ask for giftcards to whatever store so you could buy what you want…or ask for money/diapers/wipes.
I guess every first time mother has this image in her head of wat she wants for her bby and while it may be frustrating not getting those things wit u thinkin ur expenses wud be cut down there’s no rule ppl gotta buy u wat u want…gifts are a kind gesture and should be appreciative no matter wat u got…not everybody .wud be able 5o afford d stuff u picked out…these ppl u invited to celebrate with u didnt plan this bby and ur future wit u… therefore they have no obligations towards you or ur bby…so tgey dont have to gt wat u want…so my advice wud be since it pisses u off this much and u seem to have no appreciation whatsoever instead of throwing a party next time put dat $$$ towards d things u wanted and get them yourself…

You sound like my sister. She will literally take what she is given (birthdays, Christmas etc…) For herself or her kids and sell or re gift because she didn’t get what she wanted because she always demands the most expensive items. We stopped buying her gifts period. You need a reality check that not everyone is fortunate enough to buy what you demand. Be greatful you get anything at all. You sound very entitled.

I thing how you feel is valid and that is why I have specific instructions on my baby shower page and said if people could not get these items gift cards where accepted. But if they do it anyway just smile and find a thrift store if you don’t like the items
As much as I wish I had gotten stuff from my registries, the clothes and blankets went a long way for mine.
If you want specific items, designs etc. And want to be picky then buy those specific things yourself. Nobody has to buy you and your baby anything . Quite frankly, there are women out there giving birth that cannot afford to feed the baby much less make demands about other things. Learn the difference between wants and needs. After you have the baby you will realize just how grateful you really are that these people bought you the things they bought. Raising babies is expensive and to be honest, I pray your guests never hear you saying something like this. Nobody would buy you anything again, for sure. You’ll soon realize that what you thought you needed for your baby can change when the child is born.

I’m pregnant and planning my virtual baby shower soon. I learned from my first baby to just be grateful and appreciate what people are willing to give. If I hate the style of the clothes, then I just donated them 
. It’s not something that I get upset about
Wow you sound entitled as fuck
I only ever buy off the registry for any event if I see something sooo cute I can’t pass up I buy it in addition to an item off the registry and include a receipt. Alot of times I buy something of the registry and include a gift card to a second hand store because you can buy so many things from the registry used for much cheeper. People just feel they know better because they had a baby first. I prety much didn’t use anything that was bought for me that wasn’t on my baby registry. Baby #2 is almost 1 and the things from #1’s are still sitting in the top of the closet. I never assume I know better. That all being said you should be glad that people care about you enough to buy you anything and not complain publicly.
I believe that I got some of the best things i NEVER knew that i needed or would even want. I think a shower is a time to celebrate the new beginning and new life. I understand that the registry shows what you think u want and think you need, but this is a great time to get things you may not ever have thought of.

Baby showers are for friends and family to celebrate with the mom to be about the incoming baby I don’t feel like anyone is obligated to buy anything. Also I typically buy new moms things that aren’t on a registry but I know I didn’t think about before baby was born and really comes in handy postpartum… like Tucks,dermoplast, a large water bottle, haakaa breast suction if their planning to breast feed, thick burp cloths, good thick baby towels and wash cloths, and natural butt paste for the babe (we used SO MUCH BUTT PASTE the first few months) also the haakaa saved me on average 3-4oz on the opposite side during a feeding and was a total LIFESAVER if anyone is was looking for an affordable amazing baby shower gift for a momma to be

You are not wrong to think that way… however your guests aren’t wrong either. I think you are trying to control what you have no control over. Instead of thinking the way you think and it makes you sounds like a ungrateful person. Why not appreciate what ppl gave you and your child. You have to think that they DO NOT need to give you anything.
You are having a baby. Babies are expensive but that is now your responsibility. Accept that. Baby showers are to celebrate the new baby, make the mother feel special, and the gifts are a bonus. Registries are great for people who know how to use them and like to use them. If there are a few big items you need in particular or you don’t want something specific (like clothing), that is always something you can mention to your guests ahead of time (please do not buy clothes as we already have enough, or we want a swing and a bouncer so gifts cards/money are always great). If you are specifically asking for certain gifts like a spoiled brat on Christmas, then to answer your question, YES you are wrong. Sorry not sorry.

I didnt register everyone that was invited to my babyshower had kids already so in the invites we put a note say to get the item they couldnt live with out…i got things I never would have thought of. And then did a diaper raffle… The only thing that I had to take back was the very girly diaper bag as one very sweet lady forgot i was having a boy. She even said embarrassed heres the receipt so you can get something for a boy… I said keep the receipt cause I didnt get a diaper bag and i went and exchanged it for a more neutral color.
You sound like an ungrateful spoiled brat and should be thankful that someone even bought your baby anything. It’s not everyone else job to buy your baby the specific thing you want for him/her, that’s your responsibility. If it’s not good enough for you then maybe you should recheck your attitude and know that it doesn’t matter about the brand or price it’s about your baby being loved and cared for by everyone around you.

You sound ungrateful . Sorry to have to be so honest but I’m assuming you are looking for honest feedback . People buy what they can afford or what they feel would be “nice” to gift your child . If they use the registry then that’s great but if they do not that is still a kind gesture and you should be grateful .
I’d be grateful with any gift, a gift is a gift… Definitely a little demanding.
I get what you’re saying … however , most stores now will take returns without a receipt and other things can just be exchanged without a receipt . Be grateful that people at least loved you or thought of you enough to purchase something whatever it may be , then smile and say thankyou and go return or exchange . No one ever needs to know 
Precious privilege dear. No one had to buy you anything.
When I read this, all i see is, i want, i want, i want… baby showers are extra my friend. Not everyone has that luxury. You want something specific for your baby, go buy it yourself and be happy people are showing up…

I think the way you look at a baby shower is incorrect. It is about celebrating a new coming. For friends and family to come together and have a good time, gifts are a plus. And if you fell like the only point to a baby shower is that you get free stuff from them, then I feel sorry for you. Cause honestly they do not owe you a thing. Be THANKFUL for what you get. Or don’t have one at all honey, go and buy what you want. From the sounds of it you seem like this is your first child and you have a lot of growing up to do before they get here. I hope your friends do not get wind of this. Because if it was me, I would not even show up. Sorry not sorry.

Not only are you wrong, but you sound completely ungrateful and rude. Baby showers are actually not for the parents at all but for the actual baby. Hence the reason it’s called a BABY shower and not a mommy shower or parent shower. If you’re so worried about not getting the stuff you want maybe you need to do some deep self reflection because it’s not the gifts that is the issue but your obvious selfishness and utter lack of respect. Nobody is obligated to buy you anything. They take their time and money to put towards a kid that 90% of the people buying items won’t see or help raise at all. It’s time to grow up a little bit.

It must be your first child…and you sound as if you were spoiled as a child. As a parent, you will learn to appreciate ANYTHING and any time someone can give you to help. It means they care. That is what people are doing…celebrating a life and giving what they can and what means something to them (their contribution which will all be different for many reasons) and some will even get things from your list. But you should appreciate each and every item because of the intention behind it.

Registries mean nothing these days. It’s frustrating. I was going to try and make it simple and ask for diapers and wipes for my baby shower and still ended up with tutu onesies (I hate tutus).

As a first time mom, I was unbelievably grateful for what I received for my baby shower. Only a few things were purchased from my registry, but I wasn’t mad. Actually I ended up getting things that I didn’t even think of to put on it. Things that my fellow mom friends knew I would need. Yes I ended up with 30 something baby blankets that I probably didn’t need. But I was overwhelmed that people went out of their way to buy us stuff. You should always be grateful for gifts no matter what it is!
