Usually baby showers are for first time moms. And Usually the people invited to them have kids already so as shitty as it is to hear, they usuallyknow better. I personally had stuff on my registry that ended up being useless. Just be grateful for the things you get and move one

Yes. You are wrong. They don’t have to give you a baby shower, or gifts, at ALL. How tacky.

Wow not be rude but you sound so ungrateful , just except the gifts u buy some people can’t afford major stores …at my baby shower I was happy with what I received dollar store brand or not …it shouldn’t matter just be happy people love u and buy you something when in all reality they dont HAVE TO

I’d say the big things you know you want for sure like mattress, buy it yourself. I bought our car seat, swing, etc because I wanted specific ones.
I mean if you really feel this way just ask for gift cards so you can go buy what you want!
Rude selfish and ungrateful

wow 
Please do not invite me to your shower.
I am always so happy to have people on my parties. Even if its only a few, I am so grateful. The reason for the shower is to celebrate the new life coming into this world and family. A registry is great, it gives people an idea of your taste and wants. But it does not entitle you to anything. Crazy times we are living in.

Wow you should be thankful to even get anything! Some women don’t have that luxury! Some people do include the receipts but that’s in case of duplicate gifts. I’d NEVER go to a baby shower for you with that kind of attitude.

Then don’t have a babyshower. You clearly don’t deserve the help people were willing to give you. People spend their hard earned money on something they thought would be nice for your kid or that they would need and you complain? I hope you don’t raise your kid with that same mentality. Grow up.

Heres an idea if u want specific things for your baby then pay for them yourself and dont ask people to give them as handouts to you. A baby shower is to celebrate your upcoming baby and to possible help you with things u actually need… not just to give you presents of things you want… Honestly your baby will not notice the difference between a pricey outfit from 1 from a yard sale

If I were a guest and for whatever reason could not afford the items from a person’s registry, then I would provide a gift receipt with my gift. I wouldn’t need to be asked for that. I do the same thing with any gift. It’s not a big deal. 
Just be happy people are using THEIR money to get you and your baby anything. No one has to get you anything and you sound very ungrateful. Some people may not be able to afford the things off your registry and you should be happy that they think enough of you to get anything at all.

Dude. When I was pregnant, everyone kept telling me to have a baby shower that they would bring this and that. I’m native so it was considered bad luck before the baby is born. But had one anyway and NO ONE SHOWED UP. Only my Dad and his little family. I was devastated. Be happy that people even show up or even care to buy stuff for you and your baby.

OMG you actually do sounds ungrateful. If you want specific items then buy them yourself if you are not happy with what your guest bought. Further more. Who has a bloody gift registry for a baby shower. You should of just had a wishing well. And said no gifts. If you were my daughter I would be highly embarrassed with this post. You should be grateful for what you have been given not acting like a spoilt ungrateful person you are coming across as. Build a bridge and move on.

Buy everything yourself then. Registry gifts are things you would like to have if somebody is generous enough to buy it and gift it to you. It’s more of a suggestion than anything else. It’s always a possibility that somebody will get you something different or even a cheaper version. If you had your heart set on it, then buy it yourself. Ungrateful and rude is what you sound like.
Too bad this post doesn’t show the the page fan’s name… her ungrateful ass wouldn’t get shit after that load of crap.

Usually it’s the parents job to buy the big, needed items. Family and friends usually get cutesy, sentimental gifts and just celebrate. No one is obligated to buy anything at all for your baby. The gifts I got at my baby shower I was extremely grateful for, each and every one. Someone buying the “suggested” gifts on a list is very generous and nice, but not a rule by any means…

I personally give something for the mom especially
If she’s a first time mama, I prefer to remember her and give her cute things she may not think of.
I was grateful for what I got at my showers/sprinkles. its the thought that counts.
I’d relate it to a wedding- you don’t actually expect to get “paid back” for throwing that wedding you got married you know how expensive they are…your baby shower is to celebrate the life you’re creating, and usually thrown by loved ones (but you’re the pregnant one who should know how expensive baby’s are)

Yes you are wrong. But you won’t realize it until after you have the baby. We can choose all we want in the end babies decide the bottle, diapers even the sop we use on them lol. It sounds ridiculous but it’s true🤷🏽♀️
Be grateful ppl gift you anything and then do what I did and exchange for store credit. I just look up the item on baby’s r us and target and added them to my registry. They give you store credit for items you get double so I just registered anything I didn’t like and was able to buy the things I did want with store credit. No one got offended and tbh I mostly used it for non cute things like covers to breast feed or nipple cream and diapers and a digital thermometer:)

I didnt have a registry. I got pregnant at 19 and really didnt expect a shower since it was such a shock. My family threw me one anyways and it was beautiful. People brought me all kinds of stuff. One of my coworkers really couldnt afford anything so she brought me a slightly used little walker her sister used and my daughters crib was given by one of my cousins. Those were the sweetest gifts. A lot of thought went into bringing those hand me downs that they could have kept or sold. I only returned one thing - a onesie from my great aunt that said something about “dad”. Her dad wasnt in her life.

So I’ll be the only Non-judgmental ass hole on here. Yes girl it’s sucks knowing you want specific things and wish to god people would just buy what you want 
BUT at the same time it would be kinda rude to specifically tell everyone “Listen I don’t want anything but what I asked for” because some guests may not have the budget for some of your items. Take what you get, or only ask for gift cards/e-cards due to “COVID-19” 
At the end of the day you win some, you loose some. sorry you couldn’t ask a normal question without being blasted. After all this is UNFILTERED MOMMA PAGEEE.

Some of the best gifts I got weren’t on my registry and I have given gifts that were so helpful to me and had friends tell me how grateful they were for things they hadn’t even thought of. You really don’t know till your baby is here what they’ll need, use or want.

Ok wow, so a lot of people are attacking the person who asked this question, but I have to say, I actually completely understand where they’re coming from. Some people have specific tastes and they want their child’s wardrobe, nursery, etc. to match and be in their taste. I think its perfectly reasonable to only want gifts off of the registry that you spent time on. HOWEVER, what is not okay is to be rude and ungrateful to the person giving the gift. You can politely say thank you and then return, re-sell, or re-gift if it isn’t something you want. It’s also important to understand that maybe the person picked something off registry because it’s something they’ve personally found useful in their own experience.

I personally think you honestly don’t need to take anything to a baby shower you do it out the kindness of your heart just like a birthday party you don’t need to but it’s nice if you do it’s about close people celebrating bringing a new family member and friend into the world not to get gifts 
if you don’t like anything take them to a charity shop so that people who can’t afford to choose what they want for there baby can have nice new stuff without the expensive price tag it’s a gift be happy with it say thank you that doesn’t mean you have to keep or use it you can’t tell people what to get you you can ask but you can’t just tell them and expect them to get it

So much cringe in this post 
you’re the parent, it’s your responsibility to buy what your child needs. Period. A baby shower is a way for those that love you and your child to “shower” you with love and good thoughts and gifts if they so choose. I put a few things on my registry, a few people asked if there were any bigger items they could get us, and most brought gifts they loved that they thought we would enjoy as well, and some just came because they wanted to show their support - it was perfect. I don’t mean to sound crappy, but this is the most entitled, selfish post I think I’ve ever seen. It’s one thing to ask for/make suggestions on what people can buy, but it’s not their obligation to buy you squat so being gracious and appreciative for things you otherwise wouldn’t have received for free would serve you well.

Expensive items you normally tend to buy, expecting somebody to buy a mattress for you which easily costs £70 and baby bottles depending on what you buy can range from £20-£50 that’s alot to expect from people, you chose to have this baby, the cost of raising the baby and providing its needs is up to you as parents! Just be happy with a baby grow or a pair of booties children grow so quick I’d be happy with endless amount of clothes. if you want to ask for anything ask for clothes in the next size up so you have something there for when the baby grows.

If you dont like what your given. Sell it, donate it or regift it.
You can’t tell people what to buy you, you can suggest a registry but sometimes as a new mom you register for stuff I promise you will never use.
And those bottle you want so badly? The baby might not like the brand. So you never know…
I would just be grateful that you have people that want to support you

Inappropriate… so glad this group is called this… cause you have embraced it… it is inappropriate behaviour to expect gifts, be ungrateful for gifts given that aren’t listed and celebrate for the purpose of gifts. Parties are to get everyone together and celebrate what is the focus… being you and your baby. I hope you have a lovely birth and find it within yourself to be thankful for what you are gifted.

Sounds super selfish and ungrateful! I never even made a registry for either shower, because whatever I didn’t get gifted I figured out on my own. That’s called being a parent. Lord help you when your child develops their own style at like 3 and refuses to wear what you think is cute. 
or refuses the bottles you thought would work ect… and they may not even sleep in their crib!! My first co slept and second slept in a bassinet then a mini crib and went straight to a twin mattress after that. I know a lot of parents that did the same thing… maybe they don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a crib mattress that you will only possibly use for a short amount of time!!! Good luck in life, and raising a child that will have their own taste, opinions ect… they wont always do what you see fit or want in life either … just a heads up!

The overall sentiment of this post is ridiculously selfish and wrong. But the one part I do agree with is people should include a gift receipt with items not off a registry.

First,because of an item is purchased for a gift most stores will provide a gift receipt( with no price on it) if asked.Now,about her attitude.A gift is exactly that.A gift,and it is up to the person giving it what they give and whether it comes from the registery or not.I do a lot on needlework and will often give a handmade blanket instead of something off the registery. While I get a great deal of pleasure out of making those things,I also hope they are appreciated by the person I give them too.
Be grateful for everything you received
I’m sorry but if you don’t like it don’t have a baby shower and provide things for your baby. I feel like it’s extremely selfish to look at a shower that way. It’s not a guarantee you’ll get what you requested and not gonna lie not everything on your registry is necessary it’s personal preference. If you can’t afford specific items why should everyone else? My suggestion if you want those specifics you and the father should’ve saved up your money and foot the bill. Because at the end of the day that’s still both of your guys child you’ll need to provide for.
I can’t believe what I just read!!! Your sense of entitlement is ridiculous and you are no queen or princess so get that thought right out of your ditzy little head!!! If you WANT certain shit BUY IT YOURSELF and be grateful for ANYTHING your rude selfish ass gets!!! Your poor baby wont give a SINGLE shit what color its onesie is!!! That baby is gonna grow up just like you and that is what’s wrong with this world!!! Efffff youuuuuu!!!
