Well baby showers are more of a celebration of your child at my son’s I didn’t have a registry and i was thankful for what i got and who showed up . Maybe if you want certain things and noone got them then get them your self or if you feel that way maybe you shouldnt have a shower .

How rude. Be happy you get anything. Yeah we take the time to build a registry but so what if they don’t buy off of it. Not everyone is made of money, especially right now. A baby shower is to celebrate having a baby not save mom and dad money. If you really want to be so picky, buy all the stuff your self and leave others out of it.

No, you’re not entirely wrong. I did my own personal homework what clothes I will need especially and put things on the registry for the first 6 months after my babe is born. If a lot of clothes are bought for him it’s not a bad thing.
That doesn’t make you selfish or entitled. People obviously don’t understand the concept of baby registry or baby showers. But I do put things on the registry that are not going to make someone go broke either. Instead of that 600$ carseat, get something more realistic. We bought majority of the basics, the rest are up for grabs if people want to help us out🤷🏻♀️

Personally, I get this! I definitely want things that are going to benefit in the long run and save money, things we NEED. If I already have clothes, I would ask family and friends to please get feeding materials, diaper materials, etc that I still need and I would specify any brands that I prefer. Ultimately you have to be grateful tho. I was extremely fortunate with my baby shower. There was overwhelming amounts of gifts and pretty much every single person made sure it was within my range of ideas for my son’s theme. I got everything I needed and more at my baby shower and everyone was so thoughtful☺️ Literally down to the color of the baskets they gifted me with(my theme was elephants with green, teal, and gray). I got several baskets that I was able to use for storage(I never ever thought of this on my own.)

If you are solely counting on gifts from others to support your baby there’s a problem. It’s your responsibility to make sure you have what you need. Other people buy gifts out of their own generosity because they love you and baby. So to have that attitude is super gross. You sound very entitled… and frankly… like a spoiled child.

THIS CHILD IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. No one laid down and made this baby with you except you and your significant other. People coming to your baby shower to celebrate the life of your child is pretty special in my opinion. Some people can’t afford to buy off of a registry! I didn’t get the have a baby shower with my now 7 week old due to COVID so any and every gift I got was appreciated beyond measures.

Bahahaha. Sooooo wrong. You are obviously ungrateful! With my first 2 children I made registries and only 1 or 2 bought from it and i got only a few items. But at their baby showers, I got so much more than I could’ve asked for! A lot of stuff we were given was handmade! I was just happy that we had so many people who WANTED to help us. With my 3rd/last child, I got a lot more bought from my registry than I was expecting and even more from the baby shower! Babies cost a lot of money, period. Be grateful for what you have because when that baby is here and you have little to nothing because you decided to turn away or retuen gifts for your CHILD, you’re going to regret being such a picky bitch. Pardon my language, but really??? What parent isn’t grateful for ANY help they get! I hope you learn that.

When I had my baby shower I put everything we needed without expecting anything from it. It was a guideline for people. There was a chair I wanted, and I got a different color. It didn’t match the room well but I made it work. I was so incredibly excited and grateful someone was generous enough to buy it for me. Be thankful there are people willing to get you anything at all. They are using their money and time to find something for your little one. There are some people who have to do it all on their own with very little money at that. If you’re going to be that picky, you shouldn’t even have a shower.

Sounds a bit ungrateful, imo. You dont NEED a baby shower. So when you are blessed to have one, your baby will be blessed with things it needs. If you don’t like what is gifted, don’t have a baby shower or gift all of those things to a mama in need. And you can spend your money on exactly what you want for your baby.

Maybe instead of throwing away money on a baby shower, you should go buy the things you choose for your baby! Not gifts that people cant spend on a gift! You don’t know people’s situation and I wouldn’t spend money on my kids for that big splurge and you want me to spend it on yours? I don’t understand people!

In my humble opinion, you’re wrong. I have had and been to my share of both bridal and baby showers. I believe a registry is a nice option, although others gifts should be appreciated too.

I feel like they can buy whatever they want with their money
If you want the bottles that you want then go buy them yourself! No one should have to buy a crib mattress for you because that us your job to purchase the crib, mattress, stroller, carseat, etc. But if people want to help by buying it then that is great. You’re so selfish. So your baby isn’t going to need clothes? You wont put your child in the clothes cause you don’t thing it’s nice? They don’t have to bring anything at all but they choose to. That’s like bit accepting a free purse because it’s not the specific style, color, size, and name brand that you want. I feel sorry for your child.
Girl you are sooooo wrong! Like you’re lucky to get a shower in the first place. A shower is not to take the financial burden off of you and the father. A shower is to help you welcome your little one into the world. Be grateful for what you get. I threw a baby shower for my now ex best friend. All the bells and whistles, food, tent, she had 3 car fulls of presents. What do you think she said after all that? Well we didn’t get anything we asked for on the registry. And ya know come to think of it she never sent a single thank you card out either.
You sound rude and entitled. Baby showers are for your friends and family to celebrate the birth of your child. Not everyone can afford what is on the registry for one. Ungrateful!!!
Wrong…a gift is a gift…
You sound like a spoiled brat. You have a lot of growing up to do before that baby is born. The idea of a baby shower is to celebrate they baby. You should be able to buy everything on your on ow and if people want to buy gifts then be grateful. A registry is for ideas not a guarantee

As the parents it is your responsibility to get your child what you need your baby shower is for people to shower you in gifts sometimes that might not fit your registry but that doesn’t mean that it is wrong of them you should be great full that they want to spoil your baby.

A gift is a gift … wow … people do not have to buy you anything be thankful
There are things you can do to help people choose to use the registry, ensure different price points, encourage gift cards for ease in covid ect. Etiquette states it is just fine to go off registry.
The purpose of a registry is many things and not embraced by all. it saves many phone call, makes selecting a gift easier ect. Some see registry gifts as impersonal, no fun, financially challenging depending on the expectations set in that registry, or simply think they are sharing w you something they found helpful or made. You can always take the gift back to where you think it was bought and explain you have no receipt as was a shower gift. If people pick up on your don’t buy me a crappy gift attitude you may not have this problem again. If you really have that many gifts that fall into this category, I leave you w this quote:”Obligation buying means you are at a wedding or baby shower that you really need not be at. Nobody should buy out of a perceived obligation. If you are creating a baby registry or wedding registry, it is important for you to remember that the purpose of the registry is not to “command” what gifts you expect to receive.”
No one owes you shit…like at all, so just be grateful

Yes, you’re wrong. Pure and simple.
Baby doesn’t need brand
Baby needs love and attention and clothes on the back besides diapers and wipes and that’s it
Coming from a 2 time parent 
Your wrong that’s being selfish it’s understandable that you might not want what others want to give you but you need to think some people might not have the money to pay for what you asked for . . If it bothers you so much pay for what YOU want with your own money for . . Either way most of the things you thought you’ll need . You won’t even use it .
a registry is always good to have but you don’t demand from other people
anything at all
if you get stuff great if not
thats when the responsibility of being a parent takes part
if you cant afford to buy for your children you shouldnt have any its not fair to them
When I was child bearing age, I felt lucky to even have a baby shower. Had one for baby 1 and baby 4, not baby 2 or 3. I was grateful for each and every item I received as I was really broke and struggling to make ends meet. There was no “registry”. It was a friend or family member who cared enough to throw a shower. Be thankful for what you get. The baby will outgrow the onesies soon enough, and if you don’t like the bottles donate them to someone who needs them. You are being ungrateful, and the idea of a shower is to show you people care, not to make the financial obligations lighter for the parents.
Yes sorry your wrong. Just be grateful anyone for you anything. No one should be expected to buy you anything ever.
Don’t act so spoiled. If you’re going to be so ungrateful then don’t have a baby shower. Just go out and buy what YOU think you need instead of receiving a gift from the heart of those who love you.
The only reason I had a registry was because it helped give ideas to some people who didn’t know what to get me but honestly my favorite gifts were the practical ones that they put together of things they used and loved with there own babies because a lot of it I wouldn’t have thought of. I

I feel that a registry is just an idea of what to get. A gift is a gift and should be grateful what you get… I usually give a $100 giftcard to walmart (it helps parents to get what they still may need) along with diapers and wipes.

You’re definitely in the wrong. Do you realize how lucky and privileged you are? There are so many people going without. Babies going hungry. People who don’t have a home or utilities. People having to have their babies sleep in a damn drawer. People out of work because of COVID. I myself am facing an unplanned pregnancy (yay birth control fails) and am struggling to feed myself and get what I need for my baby because I got diagnosed with severe pregnancy complications and have a bunch of health issues and it caused mine and my fiance’s work situations to change alot. All our money goes towards caring for our son and keeping a roof over our heads/utilities on.
I wish I had someone who would lessen my current financial burden by purchasing some baby items for us,or even just little bits of cash to help with food until we get back on our feet (which will be in a few months). I wouldn’t care if it was the cheapest brand of mattress there is,or if it were a crib with a bunch of paint chips missing or whatever. I’d just be fucking grateful. Be happy that people are able to help you and that you have the money for what you need! You never know when your entire financial situation can change in the blink of an eye!
Be grateful they got you anything at all. Yes its great when people buy from your registry but not everyone can do that. Be happy people came to celebrate you and baby, gift or no gift, from the registry or not.
I wouldn’t be attending your baby shower with an ungrateful attitude like that.

Purpose of a baby shower is to celebrate the baby. If anyone gives you anything, you should be grateful that they care enough to want to spend money on something for you/the baby. Sometimes people can’t afford what’s on the registry or they’re dying to shop for really cute infant clothes (definitely me -I miss buying tiny clothes!). What would be great is if you put the baby in the onesie you don’t love and send a pic to the person who gifted it to you - even if you take it off right after the pic:) You’ll make the person’s day and if you invited the person to the shower, you probably love her, right?

WRONG!!! By baby number 2 you’re thankful people showed up and bought you anything cause that onsie you didn’t put on baby number 1 because it didn’t fit your taste wound up being the go to onsie in the end cause it was best 
. That matress that was too good for baby number 1 is now on baby number 3 and meanwhile you’ve went through 3 or 4 alone with baby number 1, by the time baby number 3 is here, you realize you should have had multiples of every type of everything people offered cause just cause you want it for your child, don’t mean it works best with your 1st, 2nd or even 3rd. That brand of bottle made baby 1 too gassy, but baby 2 had to have it. Baby 3 was on the boob… Never even used a bottle. Pampers worked for my girl the best, but along came boys and we has to use luvs… What about huggies, they were allergic. I mean honestly, you should be thankful for what you get and you shouldn’t be so picky about what people buy your baby… I mean… It might turn out to be baby’s favorite thing. Ya never know. Every baby is different. Trust that!

You chose to have the baby which means you chose to spend the money on things you need. It is not the responsibility of others to provide that for you. You should be grateful that these people came to your shower let alone give you a gift. They also sometimes know way better then you. I was given bottles that I didn’t want but lucky for me they were the only bottles that my baby would drink from and lessened his throwing up.

Nobody is obligated to buy you anything-well if you feel you need to have all your desires and nobody is fit enough to meet the standard then certainly you are entitled to have what you want.I suggest invite only your friends and family that you can dictate your wants to and also those that are close enough to understand your wants-don’t invite people that are struggling in their own lives and can only afford things that suit their pockets.Some people buy things out of pure love and if you can’t appreciate it don’t invite them end of story

Selfish. I never really put things we would need on the registries. I put decor ideas and wants and sizes as ideas. We were extremely lucky that his group at work wanted to throw him a small party and bought us a twin pack and play and my parents bought us our carseats, that was more than I ever would have asked for. Were there things I didn’t want, sure, did people also bring things they specifically knew I wouldn’t like (not a girly girl so flowers and frills aren’t my style) but they sure as hell got used.
Personally I think that you and your husband should buy your own shit for your own child. It is NOONES OBLIGATION but the 2 of yours. If I ever had a friend who ONLY wanted stuff from the registry and I found something better, similar, somewhere else, for cheaper, i’d get that instead…Stop being so rude. Noone needs to buy you Anything…!

And frankly neither can you if you think you need to have a receipt to return it. People help in the way that they can if you’re too good for that…I’m sorry for your circle of friends.

It’s a waste of time to make one… well at least to me. All of my mommy friends and I have been so grateful for anything we have received for our children and so should you. Nobody is obligated to buy your child anything, BUT YOU. That’s just truth. If someone buys your child a onesie that you don’t like or feel comfortable putting your child in… then don’t put the baby in it? Simple. My child didn’t wear every single article of clothing that was given to us. She outgrew them quickly. Someone may buy you a bag of Pampers and your baby may be allergic to them, so just go buy a different brand and give the Pampers to someone that may NEED them. Very rude. Be grateful.

If people want to give anything, awesome, but it shouldn’t be expected. I’m sorry, but you sound like a huge entitled brat that needs a reality check asap.
