I don’t normally comment on this stuff, and I was very glad to see everyone is in agreement. You sound incredibly selfish. HELLO YOU CHOSE TO GET PREGNANT! No one has to buy your child anything and as others have mention the registry is a guide to go on, I got 1 thing on my registry everything else was whatever people wanted to gift me, I also I find it insane when I see people putting big ticket items on there registry expecting other people to buy that stuff too. If you can’t afford a child then you shouldn’t be having one. Baby showers are to celebrate the life you created and have a party with friends and family not to buy the child you chose to have every item that you want. And let’s be honest 90% of the things we buy for babies aren’t necessarily “essential” bouncy seats, bumbos, swings etc. are convenience items not needs. Be grateful you have friends and family who are happy and excited for you and willing to spend money on you and your child to welcome them into the world. You sound greedy. Please seriously consider not saying this to anyone you know that has shopped for you and your child because I know this would be something that would offend and upset people.

Man, there are a lot of judge mental people commenting on here. I understand the feeling, we ended up not being able to have a baby shower so we ended up buying most things ourselves. We did have some amazing family members and friends ask us what we wanted or needed and got us what we asked for and i was grateful. I did days and days of research on everything we needed for our baby-reading reviews, comparing different brands and different models. I tried to take everything into account so I had very specific things I wanted to give us as easy a time as possible. We have a very small apartment so nothing could be too big, we also have two dogs so we had to make sure we had things that prevented them from accidentally hurting the baby. There are so many other things I thought about so I get it. Nobody else understands your situation like you do but you also have to make sure you’re being reasonable with price. I do think you need to think about the fact that these people tried to help and be grateful about it.

You sound very ungrateful. With that attitude you’d be lucky to get anything from me. Let alone attend your baby shower because you sound very snobby. For both of my baby showers I put the cheapest version of stuff I could find because I knew not everyone has a lot money to spend on someone else’s baby. It was more of an idea of what I wanted or needed. Hell I even welcomed hand me downs

You should be happy that people are buying you anything or even coming to your shower. A lot of people have NO support system or get the privilege of having a baby shower. Some people have showers and then lose their baby. So perhaps just be happy for what you have:)

Someone sounds ungrateful! I buy what I want to purchase for a person. I am not required to buy a damn thing…and for anyone thinking they are going to tell me what I need to purchase is off their damn rocker. Wouldn’t get a thing!

Very wrong. People buy what they would like to give as presents. Not everyone looks at a registry. And if there’s something you get that you don’t need then go return it or stop being ungrateful and selfish. You’re lucky you get anything at all or any help at all with baby needs by having a baby shower some people don’t get to have one. I got 3 bathtubs at my baby shower. I used one. Now I still have the other two. I know two people having babies I will pass along to them because I didn’t have use for it.

Wow… This is crazy. My mother used to hand make blankets for the baby showers she was invited to. Because she wanted to give something personal and she didn’t have much money to spare. The thought that someone would be so ungreatful to think like this is shocking. Someone I know was pregnant and young. Neither mom or dad were working. They registered for a ridiculous expensive baby bath. That sucker was like $100. As a mom of 4 I know how long and often a baby bath actually gets used. My experience and many others. So possibly people think your registry is ridiculous and extravagant. I also would take suggestions from experienced mothers. Not some upity mommy’s group or magazine.

A baby shower/registry does come along to help those in NEED in addition to celebrate the little one on the way and your growing family. I def see what you’re saying but no one is obligated to buy exactly from the list. Be grateful for anything! You also don’t have a clue if those bottles will be accepted by the baby. You may have to go out and buy a whole different set than what you registered for due to colic, gas issues, etc… yes, ideally, it would be extremely nice to get everything you registered for/only what you registered for but it just doesn’t work that way.

I would say that sounds ungrateful however I understand where you are coming from. Honestly I would just put it in the info of your shower that you evaluated what you needed and the registry is what you came up with of what you need help with to purchase. BUT be sure to thank them and be happy with what you were given and make sure they know you are happy. Don’t complain if you didn’t receive what you were hoping to receive because ultimately you chose to have the little ine and you are responsible for providing for them and getting them all the things.
I only received 2 to 3 things from the registries I had for both my girls and to be honest, I loved the gifts that were given because there were many things I didnt think about that we received and a lot of really sqeet homemade things that had a whole lot of love and time put into them.
Sorry, but nobody HAS to buy you anything for your child. If you want to be picky then you buy it all yourself. A baby shower isn’t so you get the stuff you want for free, it’s a celebration for family and friends to welcome a new baby. Be grateful for whatever people give you, because you don’t know their financial situation. They might not be able to afford the specific things on your registry but were able to get a good deal on outfits, socks, butt paste or whatever they end up getting you. Nobody owes you anything for your baby. Yes, I always try to get stuff off a persons registry, but I’m so sick of these ungrateful people thinking it’s their family and friends responsibility to get them what they want/need for the baby.

You should be happy that people are even coming to your baby shower. That people are even bringing you gifts. Yes it would be nice if they got everything and exactly what was on your registry, but honestly maybe 10% of people actually look at those things. It’s not their job to provide you with everything your kid needs. That your job, as a mom.
I honestly would be so upset with someone if they basically said the gift I gave them was a pile of shit and you dont like you. What if that person spent a lot of time, thought and effort into that gift?
Grow up. 
You’re literally getting things for free. You don’t get to be picky. If you want specific items then you get to buy them yourself.

And if you’re not happy with what you got then you go out and purchase it your damn self and you make sure you have what you need for your child . it’s not somebody else’s responsibility to make sure you get what you want .

Not to be rude but this is incredibly ungrateful. I understand that you have things you would specifically like, and personally I always try to communicate with the expectant mother about her needs before I do anything. But as someone who also makes hand baby quilts, whose mother sews burp pads this would absolutely put me off from getting you anything. Yes baby showers are meant to help out with the cost of having children but if you really understood the costs you would be grateful for anything you get seeing as a lot of people are struggling to even make ends meet.

Some of the things we got that weren’t on our registry were some of my favorite gifts. Books and clothes and stuffed animals that my son now loves the most. We literally didn’t have to buy clothes for the first 6 months of my son’s life. You may think buying a crib is steep but wait til you’re buying a whole new wardrobe every 2-3 months. It adds up FAST. Also once you have your baby and you’re so overwhelmed with just figuring out the basics of caring for the child, you’ll realize you have no taste in baby clothes. If they fit, they’re perfect. Not to mention you change them 4-5 times a day because they spit up or poop or pee on what they’re wearing, so what they’re wearing doesn’t matter at all.

Baby Shower Etiquette
“I’m expecting a baby and want to know what’s proper (and what’s not) when it comes to baby showers. For instance, can I host my own baby shower if no one offers?”
You’re already lucky they will show up and buy u shit.!!! I’m scared how you will raise that baby of yours with that attitude. I had a surprised baby shower prepared by my workmates and I was so happy to receive ANYTHING. They have zero responsibility to give me shit but they did and I’m grateful for that.

If you absolutely hate something sell it or give it away otherwise be grateful. If you don’t want gifts that other people choose maybe have a diaper raffle party or something.
I don’t blame you for feeling that way. I know people love to buy baby clothes for showers but they go through them so fast it’s not wrong to feel like you want specifics. It may come off wrong though

My dear, you do sound ungrateful. Before registries what do you think people did? We bought something out of the goodness of our hearts. If you can’t afford the basics you need for a new baby you may need to wait until you are financially able to do so. Its nobody’s responsibly to buy you ANYTHING for your new baby. A baby shower is a gesture for the new parents to shower the baby with gifts to welcome it into the world. Yes it helps the new parents not have to purchase some things they are most definitely going to need. But a shower is NOT for your friends and family and loved ones to give you everything you’ll ever need for your baby. Be thankful for everything you get because not everyone was fortunate enough to have a shower and registry and prepared for a baby. Good luck to you.

I feel like people should buy what they think you need and like not what you want. If you didnt get exactly what you want then go get it. The gifts you receive have thought and love in them and you should be grateful they got you anything at all. I personally never buy off the registry. I buy things that i didnt think i would ever need and ended up needing or made my life easier. I buy it out of love and care for the person and child I am buying for and I have never had anyone be ungrateful.

I do agree that at a baby shower people are there to celebrate and you should be thankful for whatever you get.
However… I also believe that people should ALWAYS include gift receipts because they should know that maybe what they got won’t benefit you and baby.

I was grateful to receive anything! One of my male friends made a beautiful hand carved wooden lamp… (you’d probably think not necessary) but it was completely from his heart and 1 of my favourite gifts.
I was happy to receive anything. It all helps!
I did put together a little list with the invite of things needed, however purely just as a guide for anyone who was stuck on what to buy.
We are the parents and it’s our child, so it was our job to make sure baby had everything he needed.
I was raised to be grateful for anything!

You should be grateful and thankful they get you anything with the way you sound. Maybe you should of requested gift cards to get what you NEED! Not everyone looks at the registry. If you don’t like anything you can always return it if needed. They didn’t ask for you to get pregnant, they are choosing to be there and celebrate with you. A registry is a suggestion of what you would like it isn’t a requirement.

Every baby shower I go to I buy the same thing. I get a basket, I line that basket with receiving blankets, then I fill the basket with baby shampoo, lotion, powders (sometimes), baby Motrin, Tylenol, gripe water, wash cloths, scratch mitts, and nursing pads. Sometimes a few other things like the above mentioned things. But I have 2 kids and most of the stuff I named I either didn’t get or got travel size at my shower so that’s what I buy.
