It’s you and your partner’s job to make sure your baby has what they NEED. Nobody is obligated to buy anything for yall. You sound like a 4 year old who was told “NO” in the toy aisle.

Sounds ungrateful…a baby shower is to welcome a baby and to EXPECT certain gifts if any at all is a act of entitlement. Be grateful for anything at all and hope your baby dosnt grow up with the same entitlement as you.
Yeah. I’d say you’re wrong. I love when my friends have registries because it makes it easy on me and I want to be helpful. But I think any gift should be appreciated, and if not appreciated by you it should go to a family who will use it. Buy the things you want. Don’t expect anyone else to
If they bought stuff you don’t want return it. Meh. People never buy fully off registries for babys or weddings. Meh

I always check the register and mark off something IF I get it. Many times I will gift things that I know are handy and explain the reasoning behind the gift. If you don’t like it then you are a BRAT. Please don’t teach your child to act in such an entitled manner. Oh, don’t invite me to any parties after that though. I’m good.
Yes I are wrong and very ungrateful. I hope nobidy attends ur baby shower
Wow I wouldnt want to go to your baby shower. My favorite part is getting to buy a outfit for a baby that I like. It’s a gift not something you are owed. No one owes you a thing for getting pregnant

You are somewhat right because we are all not the same we don’t all use or want to use same brands . In that case tho ppl should buy the regular to start out stuff . It is not right to think only the big expensive things ppl have to purchase for you .

I never really had that come up. Sure I got stuff that I didnt have on the registry but also got quite a bit from it as well. All my aunts even teamed up and bought the crib and the glider I wanted so bad. However I also got tons of clothes too. For me it was about the experience and sharing the experience with the people I love.

I had a few friends that I knew didn’t have money for a gift, and to me I didn’t invite them for a gift.
I invited them to celebrate myself and my baby.
I even received homemade cards, and I loved it because I know it’s the thought that counts, and happy to see my friends.

I was so grateful for all of the thoughtful gifts I received. Honestly, we were first time parents so it was nice to get things we had not even thought of.
Even if I have another, people can bring whatever they want. For me it’s about celebrating the soon to be addition. Gifts are not necessary but deeply appreciated. Registry or not, bring on that onesie you thought was so cute.

No one should be putting a whole crib mattress on a registry? I was once invited to a baby shower and not ONE item was under 200$… and she was only serving ‘ refreshments’ aka veggies and dip and some fruit punch. A baby shower is a privilege… you should be happy with anything!

It’s a celebration of the birth of a child not a gift grab…people buy and give what they wish…I personally find this thought in very poor taste and backs up that having special people in your life …family and friends gather together to celebrate the upcoming birth…they are not a body who is there to deliver the gift haul you seem to think you’re entitled too. It’s not up to the attendees to support your child in the type of gifts you specifically want…or better yet…since your not satisfied that they didn’t buy what you wanted you could of put. …no gifts and make a donation to children’s foster program…and buy your own nursery items.

… Be grateful they showed up and gave you gifts for your child, and what you stated the bottles, matress ect… that’s the parents responsibility to buy it if you get it gifted its a bonus. You sound like and ungrateful person. How about grow up and appreciate the little gifts, think those people who gave you gifts “you didn’t want” actually spent time of their day going out and buying something that they might have thought as a special little gift for your little one and then here you come to social media slate them because they didnt provide for yoir baby… PATHETIC

Nah, you selfish! At least someone got something for you, appreciate it regardless of what it is. They took their time of day to go buy you something for your child, when they could’ve got you nothing. Be grateful for the people who care and do things for you, when you become a mom, people drop you quick an with that attitude, may be even quicker. If you want things on your registry only, make sure you tell them that before they go buy something if they ask what you want/need.

I’m currently pregnant in the UK and over here we don’t always make lists etc. It’s just nice for family and friends to buy something for our baby in the first place no matter what it is…it’s more of a gathering to celebrate the baby.
Personally a GIFT is something that one one wants to GIVE you not something you need… You should buy things you need, anything else is a bonus.
Like my partners mum may buy a baby outfit she likes so will put her in it when she goes to see her! Or put it in a memory box as the first outfit that nan or dad etc bought. Personally a baby shower is to celebrate that you are able to get pregnant and to shower you with love not gifts. So feel lucky they get you anything

I would be grateful for every item that I received. Also, you shouldn’t be expecting people to buy all the expensive things like a crib and mattress. That’s inconsiderate of others financial situation and it’s not their responsibility. If you don’t like it or need it sell it later on. You should just tell everyone that you invited that if they can’t afford to buy the stuff on your list don’t come.

I think you should be grateful for anything you receive from someone else FOR FREE 
if you don’t have use for it then sell it or gift it to another parent in need. It’s kinda selfish of you to assume they can afford the things you want or that they even have a way to access your registry:woman_shrugging:t2: you don’t NEED the exact brand mattress you WANT and you should be grateful for the clothes your child receives, your taste? It’s not even your body why does YOUR TASTE in fashion matter? Be happy your child will have clothes on it’s back. If you’re worried about affording things for your child and getting what you needed then you should have prepared for a baby better instead of expecting other people to do it for you:woman_shrugging:t2: a shower is for friends and family to SHOWER the BABY with gifts and love, not give you what you want:roll_eyes:

I think I disagree with a lot of peoples attitude here. The name calling is ridiculous.
I understand the sentiment. I think if you have an attitude of gratitude for what you receive even if it’s not what you wanted, that’s important.
However… First of all I would never throw myself a shower, a friend or family usually offers this.
Second, it’s called a SHOWER for a reason. Yes to celebrate the new baby, but the purpose is to SHOWER the new parents with things they NEED to get started and ease the burden by coming around them as a community in support.
There are SO many ways people can give within their budget even without just buying directly off of a registry.
I really appreciated getting the things we NEEDED. We received much we didn’t use - yes even frpm experienced moms. I try to always buy off the registry even if I add something extra.
In my personal opinion, baby showers are to bring friends and family together to celebrate the creation of a new life. The gifts are an added bonus from people who love you to help you out a little bit to get started. It’s not supposed to supply expensive gifts or everything the baby will need. Occasionally you can get lucky and get an expensive gift, but that’s usually the parents job to make sure the baby doesn’t go without things they need like carseats and cribs. Again, just my opinion. But all feelings are valid.

You are ABSOLUTELY wrong and sound very ungrateful. You have to be a first time mom just by saying that shit about bottles and onesies. How do you know your baby is going to be okay with the bottles u picked out? You don’t know so what the hell is wrong with getting a different brand? Nothing. Besides being a first time mom you sound very young and naïve. You will need every onesies you can get rather if u think it’s cute or not cause FYI they shit and pee through them. Get off your high horse and appreciate the people throwing u this baby shower and the gifts u receive. I hope your attitude changes before that baby is born

A gift receipt should always be given no matter what the gift is for. But may I suggest that the next time you have any kind of celebration that requires gift giving you be specific and let people know that their gift will be returned if they did not follow your registry. Also while youre at it let them know that the time and thought put into buying such gifts is of no importance to you.

Baby shower is to celebrate the baby and for people if they choose to buy a gift.

Ok so I can kind of see where you are coming from on this. As a single mother I was really depending on my baby shower to give me a “boost” in the “needs” department. Although I knew it was MY responsibility to provide for my child and these items would be GIFTS. I only received one item off my registry and it was a brush set lol so I took the cute onesies and was grateful as shit. I bought all the things my son needed myself. I think the registry is there as a guide or a resource. Not a “you buy this shit or nothing”. Just be grateful people are happy for you and celebrating your child.

Eh … Your right and your wrong be grateful if you do get something from your registry or something that has a receipt with it . However you can quietly exchange sell fb market things you didn’t need or get a receipt for maybe even regift a needy mom but the stomping of the foot with the I want what I want isn’t cute to me . Just my opinion…
In my opinion, YES YOU ARE VERY WRONG…they are GIFTS, if you can’t provide your child what you want that’s your problem. Some people are not very “tech savy” a gift registry is very convenient for those who have no idea what you want and can get you whatever you want. A baby shower is not only so you stock up on what you want, it’s a chance to learn from other mother’s advices that can be worth more than gifts. Stop being ungrateful, imagine if your invites knew you were saying this. Despicable.

My registry was simply an idea of what was needed, a guideline per se. I was thankful for everything I got, even if it wasn’t on my registry, because it meant others were thinking of my family. Some things I got were things I never even knew existed (I had a daughter 19 years ago and a son this March so a lot has changed) and was thrilled to have. Stop being so ungrateful and just accept everything given to you.
You are being “showered” with love just when they show up to a baby shower… I had 4 kids and NEVER expected anything all… except family to show up… baby shower gifts were “extras” because i had most everything by the time shower rolled around…
Wow your wrong on so many levels…these are your friends and family blessing you and your baby with heart felt gifts…so what if they aren’t from a registry.if you and your husband need anything else for your child then you get it…you can afford your child right? So accept the gifts graciously and share the joy of your new baby w ALL
Please teach him&her too say please thank you and too be appreciative, or ungreatful. It’s not about what you want it’s about what the baby needs!! I could never imagine leaving a baby shower and made too feel ashamed because what I didn’t bring wasn’t good enough. A mattress ,bottles ect , buy it yourself if you have a problem. Some People can’t have babies and your moaning as you didn’t get what YOU wanted. Enjoy your baby , cuddle him&her, don’t be bitter about what you didn’t get. Life’s too short , Enjoy the moment ,enjoy the birth, the feeding,the bathing because before you know your baby won’t be a baby for long as they grow up too quick xx
