If you need others to finance your new baby, maybe look into some birth control…Be grateful, people enjoy gifting you and your new blessing things they thought were good items- that’s what matters. The thoughtfulness of it, the fact ppl want to come together in joy, to celebrate you and your new family… obvi you’re a newbie, that’s ok- but any mom is appreciative of anyone who wants to GIVE to their BABY.

You sound very ungrateful! 
Just be thankful you have someone coming to your baby shower and bringing a gift. A lot of people to not go strictly by the registry. They go by what they can afford!
I had a shower with my first but just bought what I needed. With my second I didn’t have a baby shower because of COVID. Don’t be selfish!

To everyone bashing on her, a lot of people get doubles or triples of items at their baby shower and nothing they asked for. Yes it’s a gift, but when you’re a little kid and your friends ask what you want for your birthday then they get you something completely different you were probably disappointed. The point of a registry is to get things the parents don’t have yet and need and for them to spend the time researching and making the registry just for people to not even look at it sucks. I don’t see an issue with what she’s saying. Before I had kids I used the registry to buy gifts because I had no idea what to get and now that I have kids I use the registry because that’s what they’re asking for.
You’re lucky people even went to your baby shower and thought about you and your baby, so ungrateful. Not many people are blessed to be able to have a baby shower, it’s a time to get together and celebrate the beautiful baby you’re bringing into the world it’s not about the gifts. How selfish are you tf

It kinda sounds like you can afford all the specific things you want. Many folks have baby showers because babies ate expensive and they need help and love and fun. And maybe some guests use the registry as suggestion…like ok they want short sleeved onesies… ill buy that. Just seems like you should be a bit more grateful for people who care about you enough to do anything… but you know different strokes…
Wow. It is your responsibility to provide the things you need for your baby…not something you should expect from anyone. Baby showers are for people who love you to celebrate you and your little. You should be grateful and more gracious for every gift or well wish you receive. You have some nerve lady

I see both sides of this. If you won’t use it, then it was a waste of money. People should opt for gift cards imo if they don’t want to buy off the registry. But clothes and such should not matter. My son wears everything we received, but we also didn’t really put clothes on our registry. Most of our friends and family gifted us things directly from the registry. The stuff that wasn’t, that we didn’t want, we just returned. We strongly encouraged people to shop at Target where our registry was, so they took back the stuff we would never use. Our baby got like 50 blankets. We could never use that many lol so we returned the ones we didn’t love and bought other things we needed. But also, don’t be ungrateful.

Need and want are two different things
. If that was the case you should have just had a money diaper or bottle tree thing. Honestly though everyone I know always give the receipt in case you get two or it’s too small etc. So I’m not sure if your just freaking about the baby and this is how it’s coming out. ( you don’t even want to know the stupid things I get upset about being pregnant with about 6 weeks to go:roll_eyes:
) I think your getting ahead of yourself. Just breath. It’ll be ok. Calm down and just relax. Hugs.
Imo you are a snobby ungrateful year and should be thankful anyone wanted to buy your child anything if u are that much of a asshole in real life.
And the best part about having a baby is you don’t get to BE the baby anymore…so one last hurrah to be celebrated solely as you…afterwards it pretty much about the infant for at least 3 to 6 straight months…so take the pampering and love. Peace love and happiness for the new kiddo
A baby shower is given as a way to honor said baby coming into the world. I think people should get whatever they want to “shower” the baby and mom with. Registries are just to give your guests ideas of what you would like or need.
Newsflash it’s a friggin gift Sorry Karen!! How ungrateful. KEEP THAT SAME energy on the guest list make sure everybody knows not to come if they don’t buy off your registry. That way you dont have to deal with unwanted guests and the guests dont have to deal with a wicked witch.

Snotty, ungrateful, little child. What a shame.
I made a registry…very little was bought off it. What i used it for was to gauge how much money i would need… If someone bought off it i felt like i saved money…i wanted a specific pack and play for my daughter… I got a different one. AND i was grateful…you know why? My aunt and grandma bought it…and it was their taste and to me…they gave a piece of them to my daughter. I will always remember opening up that pack and play knowing it wasnt the matching one to the carseat and stroller and highchair…i actually LOVED that pack and play more…each gift i got that i didn’t ask for was someone giving my child a piece of them. Use your registry like that. If its unsafe item then return it. If its an outfit they bought but not to your taste…put it on your child when you see them… Crib mattress??? You should be buying that.

I rarely buy off a registry. Here’s why. I’m a mom, so I know alot of shit on registry arent neccessary to raise a child. Helpful maybe, but not neccessary. I would rather spend my money on something I know will be useful vs. Something you think will be useful but will only last 2 months and then be sold. I’d be grateful if you get any gifts, because that’s what they are. Gifts. Someone put thought into what to get you. A baby shower isnt about everyone you know spending money on you, that’s your job as a parent. A shower is meant to show you that you have a village, because it takes a village to raise a kid. So remember every single person that offers to watch the kid while you shower, and actually take them up on it.
O.k. to be fair years ago that’s how people thought. They would purchase something on the Bride to be or mama to be’s list BUT times have changed and people really do pay much attention to people’s registries. People purchase what they can afford and sometimes do not put much thought into the gift. No matter what if you invited them to your shower you need to be grateful that they cared enough and sacrificed for your child. If you do not like the gift give to a womans shelter and purchase your own thing. Passing the word that gift cards would be appreciated may also help.

The negative comments are disgusting and shows peoples true colors.
You’re not ungrateful or selfish or a brat.
Feeling like you have no control in your life right now, ESPECIALLY with what is going on in the world is actually very normal. So wanting to control the little things makes perfect sense.
You are not wrong for how you feel, it’s YOUR pregnancy and you want to control every aspect of that, also a normal thing.
But understanding there are A LOT of aspects you can’t control can help you relax and be more understanding during this hard time. It could also help make this experience a little more fun.
One of the main aspects you can’t control is other people. Therapy helped me realized this a lot quicker than some of the moms I personally know, but sometimes people can’t afford the time, effort, and finances that goes into that, so having someone to relate to who also went through this helps a lot.
The short explanation, you can’t control people, there are things you can control, but people and what they decided to do is not one of them, get that understood first and foremost.
What you can control is what you keep and what you don’t keep, whether you can return the items you don’t want to use based on the research you’ve done. If you can’t, you can always exchange with other parents, or even sell them to go towards a diaper fund whether it’s cloth or disposable. There are things you can control, believe me, but please please please understand there are soo many other things you can not.
Just appreciate those who love you and those who are there to support you, that’s what will matter at the end of the day when you’re exhausted and just need someone to talk to or lean on.

I mean… it’s better then coming empty handed… so maybe do a diaper party instead. So they get diapers, bottles etc. Maybe also do a raffle at the end like whoever brings diapers gets a raffle ticket and the winner get a 25$ gift card or something along the lines. The more boxes of diapers the more tickets they get. They have good ideas online. But maybe that will help with people getting some diapers for you. But be happy for what you get. People don’t have to show up or buy anything at all. Their celebrating joy of a new life. Not what mama demands us to buy.

Why are you not happy you had a shower at all. Showers are to celibrate the comming baby not to “help” parents. The gifts are no different than a birthday party. A registry is a sugestion list to help people understand what is needed not a I must have this. Did you even concider what the people who go are going threw. They may not be able to afford your highnesses demands. If you dont like the items donate them. I am a mother of 2 and neither child had a baby shower. Noone threw one… I was greatful i could afford things my self this second time but the first I was young and had to rely on others and programs. But again the baby shower is to celebrate the child its not about the gifts.

When you send out invites, maybe just request gift cards? That way, if people can only afford $10 no biggie. If that’s not good, then don’t even have a shower. I would never act like that. Be thankful people even want to spend money on you and your baby. Times are hard, especially right now.

I get what you’re saying hun but you do sound very ungrateful and I hate to say that
A baby shower is for everyone to not only buy nessecitires for mom and baby but it’s also to shower the baby in gifts like onesies
It doesnt matter if it doesnt fit your taste someone went out of their way to get that for your child which says a lot if you think about it
Baby stuff isnt cheap and you should appreciate whatever you get especially during this pandemic
You’re gonna need onesies, you’re gonna need bottles and all kinds of stuff
Dont be a brat over little things, if thats how you’re gonna be please dont have a shower you’re gonna hurt someone’s feelings that’s just trying to help you

To everyone being absolutely hateful and bashing her… I see her point completely. She is venting because she doesnt want a bunch of stuff that will not be used and still go and have to get what she needs and wants for her baby. Seriously yall dont have to be such assholes to people simply trying to figure out having a baby.
I completely understand where you’re coming from, girl… seriously. I keep hoping that people will either NOT give a gift or that theyll stick to what is on my registry because I have limited space and I dont want a bunch of stuff taking up the little space I have because they thought that I would like it instead of what I said we need. I would absolutely appreciate the thought and be thankful for people who care enough to give, but it would be frustrating especially with close family, if they gave me a bunch of stuff I would feel obligated to use though I dont need or want it at all. That’s a difficult position to be in, just like if someone bought you a piece of clothing that you absolutely hate and doesnt fit you at all in size or look, what do you do with it when it’s your mom or sister who you see a lot? Just never wear it and hope they dont ask? Or would you rather them ask you what size and style you wear and stick to that realm?
Feel bad for the dad if this is how shes acting already and baby is not even hear yet

idk for me I wanted a baby shower because it was to celebrate my baby! I didn’t receive any big ticket items from my baby shower besides a travel system I didn’t want but I was still grateful and used it. My mother and sister paid for everything and it was a BIG ONE. And after it was all over they were saying what they spent on the shower they could have furnished my whole nursery (which still isn’t finished and my daughter is 9 months) and bought all my high priced items. I still loved my shower and eventually got everything I needed. If you are that concerned about what you will be getting I wouldn’t have one, because people buy what they want for your child and what they can afford. Just ask for diapers and wipes then because you will definitely need those!

I remind my 7yo daughter at every “present” gathering you are not entitled to get anything. No one owes you a thing people do it bc their nice and care and need to be greatful for whatever you get. Nobody bought anything of my registry. And we used almost everything that we got. Clothes? im dying bc you would be greatful FOR ANY clothing seeing kids grow iut of shit in weeks. clothes are expensive as it is! You can ask for soecifics all you want karma tho will be that the baby wont want that specific thing. My child went thru tons of different brands of shit before finding the perfect fit. Ungreatful is what this is. Be thankful you will have people there to celebrate and be greatful for any gifts bc again nobody has to get you anything 
Those specific bottles you want for your child, may not be the ones the baby feeds from anyway you may think they are but some babies go through two or three different brands of bottles. Those onesies you want, more then likely will end up with spit up and poop all over them. Maybe you should be more grateful for what you receive because the first lesson of parenthood, you can plan and think ahead all you want but when the baby comes those plans 99.9% always go up in smoke, but bless your ungrateful soul for thinking otherwise

After doing multiple rounds of ivf and spending thousands of dollars we chose not to do a registry and instead were very grateful for the items that were given to us. We didn’t have much to spend on items after such costly bills, yet we knew we would make due. Was every gift something useful or needed or “my taste”? No, but they were accepted with a grateful heart to celebrate our miracle babies.

I’m on my 5th… 5th kid and have bought so much on my own! I’ve been gifted with a used crib and clothes. And I am grateful for every last thing! I have a registry but not 1 thing on it was bought! I’ve recieved a few outfits, pacifiers and toys new. Bottles that are not the brand I will be using. But I thanked them anyway! The big/expensive items should be bought by the parents who made that baby. My registry gets smaller and smaller as I buy the stuff. I have done this for every child and I have not had but 1 baby shower and not been given anything for my other babies that wasn’t used. Be grateful.

Guess what? I’m on baby number 3, didnt get a baby shower with my son, had very bare minimum when he was born, struggled like hell.
Had to buy it all myself.
Baby #2 still no shower, literally had nothing for her except some used clothes and a crib and carseat, once against struggled and bought it myself. 3rd child, having a a shower this time but I dont EXPECT or REQUIRE anybody to bring anything. Especially not specific items unless they ASK what I need. And even then I dont expect name brands.
If they do it’s out of the goodness of their heart.
It’s not anybody’s responsibility to provide for your child but you…
