Yes you’re wrong. I can see being annoyed if you picked out something specific like bedding and someone bought a completely different set but the purpose of a shower is to celebrate a new baby coming and they are gifts people want to give you. You sound ridiculous

Yes, you are wrong. You sound very selfish and ungrateful. If your baby needs something, then prepare to be a parent and buy it yourself. I had a surprise baby shower and I was grateful for every gift I received. I never asked and still don’t ask anyone for anything for my child.

Lmao I made a registry and I think maybe 3 things out of all of them were purchased and I got tons of other things, like clothes and pacifiers and toys and handmade blankets full of LOVE, and yes I got a few things that I didnt end up using just because of my personal preference but guess what? I didnt get a receipt for any of the items, and I donated the things I havent used or no longer use to a mom-to-be that is in need. You sound ungrateful. You could just not have a baby shower at all and buy everything for yourself since you seem to be impossible to please. I was grateful for every single thing I was given, it’s the thought that counts.

Wow. Yeah I definitely disagree with you. Smh though… I’m the complete opposite of you! I didn’t even want a baby shower, even though I could have used it, because I HATE asking for things from people. I will never even do a registry for anything. Just not me at all.

Wow, what a bitch. I hope this is a fake post.
She is asking for a opinion people. Let’s not b so harsh

I always saw the registry as a guideline in case people didn’t know what to get. It’s up to the person to decide what they want to gift you. With any gift like that it’s nice to include a receipt but isn’t mandatory. You can’t expect people to only buy from the registry. If that’s what you really want you can say that on the invitation but it comes off as kind of rude.
Or you could try being grateful and say thank you.
You sound like an entitled bitch.
I would hate to be invited to your baby shower.
I just wouldn’t buy you anything.
You sound like a 2 year old child.
“I want the red sippy cup not the blue one!”
I want that toy not this one!"
If you want other stuff go buy it yourself.
Noone is obligated to get u what you want.

Everything seemed sentimental to me. I know who presented it to me too! I might now be a hoarder cause I don’t let go those gifts, they become fewer over time. Be Grateful. I do believe in giving one gift of my choice, not yours. Which s/b appreciated.
A baby shower is to celebrate baby 
whatever you get you should be grateful for. And whatever you still need buy yourself before baby is born. Even the smallest things help!

Wow very ungrateful. I’m guessing you’re a first time mom cause if u don’t think a onesie is cute u won’t put your baby in it lmao oh hunny just wait you’re not going to give a fuck what it looks like when your baby has bad blow outs. My advice take all and any onesies cause u will need them. You don’t even know if you’ll like the bottles you pick out or some other kind. Plus with this pandemic some people are strapped for cash so if you’re picking out the most expensive shit I wouldn’t expect to receive it. Be thankful that people will even buy you anything
“I don’t wanna sounds ungrateful”. Well, you do. 
A lot of people don’t get baby showers and have to get everything themselves.
If you really want them that badly get them yourself. If you can’t afford them, get something else.
You’re in for a rude awakening, you hardly get what you want as a mom so get used to it.

I’m not gonna lie, you sound so rude. That’s crazy that you EXPECT people to buy you certain things, to be completely honest. Nobody is required to buy you a damn thing or come to your shower. If they’re going out of their way to do so… you should be thankful/ grateful that they took time from their life to go pick out a gift for you & come to your shower. Even if it’s not what you “wanted”, sell it on Marketplace & buy something you like better. It makes you sound like a spoiled brat. You are going to have to buy things for your baby anyways, you can’t expect the shower to cover every single need you have. That’s absurd.
People should be appreciative and grateful for whatever they get
No body has to buy you anything. If the only reason you threw a shower was to get presents then that in itself is a little spoiled. Baby showers are to celebrate the baby and see who all is really in your corner. Not for you to get free stuff. If they want to then that’s fine but be grateful for everything you get.

Be grateful for what people buy for you. On another note, personally, I buy something small off registries then something small NOT on the registry that first time moms have NO IDEA they’re going to need until they actually need it. Humidifier and baby Vick’s for example. You have no idea you need that stuff until you have a sick kiddo in the middle of the night. Maybe your guests have first hand experience and reasoning behind what they buy you.

I feel you should be more grateful for what you do get. If you have a mattress, bottles and clothes on your registry you cannot expect people to buy exactly what YOU want. Sometimes people buy based off their own budget so instead of that high end mattress you got a slightly cheaper one that serves the same purpose. As for baby clothes they grow out of them so quick i don’t see why anything, unless its inappropriate, would be needing to be replaced. Also, sometime people use the registry as a guide for what is needed and i say its ok to buy a similar item instead of the exact one asked for. Moral of the story be grateful for what you do get times are hard for everyone be happy you get a shower because i know people who have had their canceled due to covid.

How ABOUT you don’t have a baby shower. You and the father go buy what you need for “YOUR” baby and then have a small gathering, after the baby is born. Then you send out invites to special individuals with specific features you want them to buy. This your baby not everyone else’s. Get what you need. Don’t wait on people to shower your baby with your dream gifts. Get your Own personal gifts. People are expected to be appreciated. I’ll say, it if no one else will. YES, YOU SOUND UNGRATEFUL and you shouldn’t be having a baby right now if you can’t afford it. Wait, then get your baby everything you want it to have. Then invite friends and your family OVER

Registries are set in place to give people ideas. Some people can’t afford $100 gifts for YOUR baby that you are responsible for providing all the NECESSITIES for (crib mattress, etc). I would think you would be grateful they got you anything at all. It’s not anyone’s responsibility to provide for your child but your own.

You are very ungrateful, maybe they couldnt what was on your registry and bought u something they could afford especially during these times!
Personally if someone has a registry I buy what is on there but at the same time if I make a registry and someone gives me a GIFT of something not on my registry then I am GRATEFUL.
With that being said yes it’s annoying that someone would choose something not on your registry, but at the same time maybe they were worried that since you had a registry that people already got everything you asked for and they didn’t want you to end up with say 1000 bottles.
Instead of being angry be grateful and go to the person and say I loved the whatever you got for baby, but I already have that item and I don’t want what you got me to go to waste, do you have a gift receipt or do you remember where you got this so I can exchange it for something else and I’ll let you know what I got and thanks again for thinking of my baby.

Some people can’t afford expensive gifts, but they care about you, and they want to get you something. Be gracious, and I’m sure you can figure out how to buy some baby bottles. Also, a crib mattress isn’t that expensive to purchase yourself, unless you’re high maintenance and just wanted a more expensive one, in which case, you should purchase that yourself.

I wouldn’t say you’re wrong for feeling that way. It’s your pregnancy and you want to be able to control every aspect of it.
But the thing you have to realize is there are actually A LOT of aspects you can’t control, and the main one is other people, you can’t control them 
. I think it would save you a lot of energy if you realize that sooner rather than later and just appreciate that they gave you something to begin with, a gift is a gift.
I felt the same way when i put my registry out and people kept asking me about things that weren’t on there, but it was my first kid, I didn’t plan it, and frankly i didn’t even want kids, so i already felt out of control, which is why i wanted to control everything else. I quickly realized pregnancy is very exhausting and to waste my time trying to control everyone was just making the experience awful. Therapy helped a lot of course but the experience quickly being ruined by my mindset also helped me quickly realize i can’t control people, and that’s what helped me through it
You could ask for them to bring receipts with their gifts just in case you get duplicates or want to exchange anything unnecessary for something necessary, again they don’t have to abide by that but giving them that information could be helpful for you.
Edit: also ignore the negative comments, if you already feel like everything is out of your control then they won’t help you gain your footing. Pregnancy effects everyone different, especially in the mental aspect of everything, you’re not ungrateful or entitled, you’re protective, and that’s normal and perfectly fine, you just can’t get lose sight of what it means to have those who love you around and what they’re true intentions are, and it’s to shower you with love and support any way they can afford it. Good luck and stay sane, this ride gets a hell of a lot scarier so to see other parents be so negative is so shocking to me!

Guess I’ll be the one. If you spent the time and energy researching the items YOU want for YOUR baby and someone doesn’t respect that, they shouldn’t be surprised if you don’t want/need it. I got things I didn’t want (studied infant toddler education and had specific reasons) so I tried to return items to baby’s r us or target. If I couldn’t return them I went back to the person and asked for the receipt or if they wanted it back.
You are not being ungrateful. You are not being entitled. You are trying to prepare your home for your munchkin.

Some people do not even have family & friends to have baby showers.
I personally know a Family who had one child age 6 and then last minute had a 2nd child sprung on them and that child came with NOTHING. The baby was around 8 months old and CPS had removed baby from mom and so baby went to this other family member who had nothing at that time, the Husband had just lost his job and took ome that paid basically nothing & mom had lost her job as well. All they recieved for that baby was a bag of baby food & box of diapers from one of their friends who did not even know the baby. That kid NEEDED everything, a bed, carseat, clothes, highchair etc but all they recieved were diapers and a bag of food… They were thankful for what they got even though they asked and needed much mote. Stop being so ungrateful & rude.

Ungrateful greedy asshole these people are there to support you as friends and do something nice out of the kindness of their heart not take care n buy things for the kid you decided to have
Remember - a registry is a “wishlist” or a guide on what to get. This is not meant to be something that forces anyone to purchase only what is there. People will provide what they can afford comfortably, out of the goodness of their heart. Hope you eventually see how generous the people around you are.

The point of a baby shower is to celebrate baby all the people that love you and baby enough to be there. To maybe also gain some insight and advice from other moms. Its nice when you get everything from your registry, but not to he expected.

Well, it is your opinion so I can’t say you’re wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. With that said, how ungrateful, stuck up, and selfish can one person be? At the end of the day I am spending my hard earned money and precious time on a gift. I have had 3 babies and 3 showers. At each shower I was given things that I didn’t request but guess what? I graciously accepted. You know why? For one I am actually from the bottom of my heart grateful for anything anyone does for me whether I requested it or not. Also in this life dear you will find there are people that have already walked the path you are on which means they have learned a thing or two. You may not even know you need that amazing owlet baby monitor that Susie Q bought for you. But what you didn’t know is that someone bought one unsolicited for Susie Q and it saved her babies life. YES! This happened to me! I said all that to say it sounds like you may need a reality check. One day you may be in a position where you can’t buy a thing for yourself because well … life happens and believe me it does not matter how much you plan … and someone will buy you something and it will humble you! Humble you enough to regret this post and be ashamed of yourself for ever posting it!
