Babies need alot of stuff, just be grateful these people turn up with your demands lol 
First time pregnancy perspective
I was just grateful people gave me anything. And the things I didn’t use I made sure to not unpack so I could reuse for other baby gifts. In all honesty this post is quite ungrateful

Damn. No matter how I look at this post, it just Sounds selfish. I had a baby shower in another country for my first baby and received just one gift and was sooo dang thankful for it. One gift. I understood it was a 3rd world country&they can’t afford to buy us gifts. I’m just happy that they showed up, and blessed our family some love and prayed with us. No one is obligated to give you anything! You bring this child to this world, it’s you. When you lower your expectations, you appreciate more. God bless

So wrong. Be grateful for any gift! You may not agree with something you received and then realize how much of a life saver it was after the fact. And people who ask for one specific brand of diapers piss me off. People literally have no idea what allergies their child will have and what will irritate their child’s skin. No one is obligated to buy your child a gift. Imagine buying all of it yourself and how crazy expensive it gets…
If you have a good variety of things on your registry I buy something from there, something (or 2) that in my personal experience was a lifesaver, a small toy/lovie, and a cute outfit. Trying to control what people GIFT you is wrong, yeah. If you’re in a place to be picky, you’re in a place to accept the gift you won’t use graciously; and donate it to moms that don’t have the luxury of being picky or ungrateful for any and all support they receive.

You are so ungrateful and selfish. You need a reality check & just because you want everything on your registry doesn’t mean your gonna get it. Maybe you should just get your own baby stuff and not have a shower.
I hope nobody comes to your shower so then you realize how selfish you really are. You make me wanna throw up.
You are ungrateful…

It was your choice to get pregnant so shut up and be grateful for anything you received. Hope you get nothing
I’ll go against majority, but I like buying things people actually want and need. I’m sure it’s way easier for people to just pick something on the list and I would assume that the “fan” wouldn’t be choosing expensive big ticket items. Nothing like buying someone a crap gift.
Wow, I’m beyond shocked at how someone can be so ungrateful. People bring you stuff that they think you/your baby will enjoy out of love and the kindness of their heart. Honestly if I was invited to yours I wouldn’t bother showing up with anything. Your rude for being such a selfish person.
Get off your high horse Karen . How about go out and buy all your own shit.

I’m sorry mama. But I think it’s wrong!
What’s the point of a registry if ppl are gonna ignore it?? 
Maybe mom did research on some items and prefers one over the other… anyhow, a registry is supposed to take out the guesswork, plus mom and dad get what they directly requested.
Seriously, what’s the point of walking around the store forever wit that click clack beepity beep gun scanning shit 
When you become a foster mom with LITERALLY 40 hrs notice … you don’t get a baby shower. You just take and accept GRATEFULLY what everyone offers to help you out with

I never had a baby shower because I took a baby in at 2 weeks old. I never received any gifts so in my opinion, any gift should be appreciated! It may not be something you wanted but it’s something from the heart that someone spent their hard earned money, or money they had that made other things get put on hold to pay! Don’t be shallow and be thankful for whatever you get!

Just wow, baby showers in the uk are in the mainstream a relatively new thing, before that people just got you gifts. I think baby showers are a better way but they’re gifts at the end of the day, if you cant afford to provide the essentials for your baby you probably shouldn’t have got yourself knocked up 
so ungrateful I hope nobody turns up to your shower and you dont even get those onesies you dont want

I’m just gonna say… please don’t have a baby shower if this is going to bother you so much. You’ll ruin your own day. Consider just buying things yourself if you aren’t in such a financial bind. You’ll be much happier having bought your baby what you wanted. I agree with most everyone else, a baby shower is for celebrating baby, not about the money.

Christ and there’s me thinking a baby shower was to celebrate the pregnancy and new life that’s on its way into the world and to have a chance to see all of your family and friends and enjoy their company/have a party to celebrate you moving forward to motherhood and the next stages of your life, because once you have baby you may not get the time to see all off them straight away for a while.
If there’s items that you really want and do not want to compromise on you should buy it yourself! Otherwise just gracefully accept anything you receive. If your just in it for the gifts get it cancelled!

Sometimes we don’t appreciate the things people do for us out of the goodness of their own hearts. Sometimes people DO know more than first Time moms and we try to purchase things we did not get and wish we had. Sometimes, people cannot afford that $300 mobile or swinging chair. However, as the new parents, you are obligated to purchase the necessities. No one owes you anything but the exact same respect you serve to others. Mama,you must already be losing sleep with this somewhat selfish post. I hope you and your baby are In perfect health. I do hope you grow up a bit
God knows you will once baby arrives. It’s time we stop expecting and just appreciate the lovely gifts we are gifted and zip it. Most parents purchase the big things. Your friends are there for support. All the best to you.

I understand the frustration. I mean, you make a baby registry or any kind of registry for a reason. To inform guests of what’s needed/wanted. Now to get upset that some people got you cute outfits is a bit much - it was a thoughtful gift. But I do agree ignoring the registry completely is frustrating.
I would definitely get the store credit & exchange unwanted items.
It’s hard when you’re having a baby and you receive a billion baby clothes & shoes, & nothing absolutely essential. But then again, in the end it falls on you as the parent to provide 100% for anything that wasn’t gifted.

I think registries are fine, but experienced moms often have a good idea of what is going to be far more useful to you. If you’re going to be a mom, better leatn to be flexible and go with the flow. Be grateful there are people in your life who care enough to get you a gift.

Yes you’re wrong. You should be thankful for anything that you get. Especially if you have stuff that costs and arm and leg, do you really think people are going to buy it? As a parent you’re also responsible for making sure your child has what they need. You’ll want more of some items than others, trust me. Be grateful.

Sounds incredibly ungrateful to me. If you don’t like what you get, take it back for store credit. They spent their money on your child that you chose to have. They don’t have to, they do it because they want to. A baby shower is about more than just the gifts anyway, it’s about celebrating your baby.

A baby shower is a celebration. Yes we have registries and they are nice but some people can not afford what on there or don’t have the time to go to that store to get it, a lot of people do not do online shopping either.
You can change the gift and get a store credit and get what you want or donate the gifts you don’t want to someone who will appreciate them.
I’m old school and have 4kids I did a registry for my shower but it was more for me and the benefits that came with it. Close family and friends got stuff off of it and everyone else got what they wanted. No biggie I was excited that so many people showed up and showed me and my unborn baby so much love. Be a bit more grateful, remember there are people out there who don’t have showers because they can’t afford it. Or they don’t have family and friends to have one. Some have showers and no one shows up. It could be a lot worse. Ugh

You should be thankful that someone decided to walk into a store and thought about you while purchasing that item. If it’s that much of a big deal to you, I suggest buying your own things. Period
