I feel upset my mil is keeping the big box of wipes and diapers I received for my baby shower. I honestly feel like…

I agree with just the diaper bag. If she wants to buy her own stuff ok.

ummm...I would of been like um noo...when I take the baby to you ill take a diaper bag full of clothes for the hours you will spent with him/her nothing else...😤 people act so selfish you need to keep everything with you! Thats your pregnancy and your baby

wow mine don't do that! if my mom or his mom keeps the kids it's just 2days thats it and they get a diaper bag with everything they need and they give everything back when they bring them back...

my boyfriend works but he barley gets hours so he'll be home and not working so I'll be home. I don't have a reason for my son to be over there 24/7 to were she'll need that stuff over there.

I think I'm going to talk to my boyfriend about it later today when he's awake. because it's really bothering me. I don't want any of his things over there unless I'm sending him over there and the stuff will be on a diaper bag. I feel like it's only right yes I'm a ftm but at the same token I feel like if I need help I'll ask for it.

No,no,no,no,no! I'd go get my stuff back! Those were gifts to you. If she wants to have things at her house then like a grandmother should, she needs to go buy them if it's that important. Besides 7 grandkids? I'd be damned if you're gonna take stuff from my baby shower that was given for my baby and use it on other peoples kids. Depending on the age of the kids of course, that's what I'd think. She can't say you don't need all of it. That is what a shower is for. To shower you and yours and help y'all be prepared and ready. Just because you don't need it tomorrow doesn't mean you won't need it when baby is 2 or 3 months. We stock up because we don't ever know what our situation is going to be like later. That's parenting and the longer you can go with out having to buy things even if it is just wipes, diapers or bath stuff, it helps! Girl!!! Lol I hate reading posts like this. They need to realize that they are Grandmothers NOT Mothers to YOUR child.

you better get tour gifts back!! That's just crazy she would do that.

if you got it at the baby shower and she didn't get it for you. I would absolutely take it back.

Honestly its wrong for her to keep your stuff. If she wants to buy things then go for it but dont take your things! AND shes buyinh things with your giftcards? That would be the last straw for me! Those are for you to buy what YOU want for your baby.. not her!

I totally feel you!! I love next door to my bfs mom. & ever since she found out shes been coming over. Barely been a week since we knew & already went and got somethinh the day after! The good thing is that my bf sees it lol he cuts her visits short for me. Dont get me wrong i love her and shes so cool but she needs to chill sometimes.. lol @lovelytee

I'm sorry, I would probably be the bad guy. Her behavior is ridiculous. Those were all gifts for you and your child, not her. It is her job to step aside and wait for what you give her. I would be fuming but admittedly I'm luckier if my mil did that because my husband knows his mother is crazy.

Sorry to hear, thats not right at all. Especially that she kept the gift cards!! Smh..

my MIL kept EVERYTHING.. she wouldn't even let me take a blanket my sister bought.. and one time I had a pair of shoes they had bought in my purse because they fell off the baby and the made me go back and leave them because 'their money cost them'... it makes me so mad

@lovelytee, no worries love, she just sounds really excited. It's your call where your baby goes and for how long so if she feels like she needs a little nursery, it's not hurting anyone. And to get the gift cards back I would say something like "Oh we found a crib/swing/outfit/whatever that we still need and we are going to use the gift cards from the shower on it" and if she says no be like "Well I wasn't really asking"

@babiio1, I get what your saying. but I still feel some type of way about it all. like I feel like we won't have any alone time with the baby. and someone is going to tell me how to do stuff with my son.

you know how are when u get a new pair of shoes girl lol damn near wanna sleep in them

@floress_j, that's what I'm saying this is her 7th grandchild.

yours is new tho lol

Yea everyones right. Thats not right for her to do that. Next time your over i would tell her i'm taking these home with me. And if she tells you that you dont need them tell her theyre yours and you want to take them. Which she really cant keep you from getting your things. Ughh i hope my bfs mom doesnt pull something like this! This is her first grandchild! @lovelytee

@florafedora, I understand what your saying but it's not like we love 50 miles away we are right across the street. so I feel like she doesn't need anything over there. she acts like hell be staying with her and not me.

Oh no, take it all back. those were gifts to you tell your boyfriend that he needs to realize yall are the parents not her so she needs nothing and when she does need something you'll send it too her.

and @gabbii lol sorry forgot to tag

Oh hell no. I'd go in her house and take it back.

but @babiio1 she has 6 grandkids already.

Pick your battles. If she wants some soap and diapers just let her keep some at her house depending on the diaper size. It will only make packing a diaper bag for visits easier and your baby will be the only one using them. If she's someone who will watch the baby a lot or if you will visit with her often, I would leave a bottle and a formula tin over there. I bet she's just excited and wants to be prepared just like you do

@alexinwonderland, is so right... every christmas my mom still says she needs to keep half of my boys presents over at her house because she says they will need stuff over there too... my son is 11 and the other is one and she started last Christmas on my one year olds stuff and they never offer to watch him!!!

Good luck girl. mil's are tricky lol

@lmc_simsmommy, if I say something I'm called rude and my boyfriend will get upset.

She just may be overly excited about the baby and not trying to take over. . grannies get like that sometimes

that's what I planned to do @alexinwonderland

I would take them back and tell her NO, YOU dont need them! If my childs here and needs a diaper change thats what a baby bag w diapers is for!....but thats just me. Somethings i just cant let go down like that...

she also kept the gift cards I got. and is getting my baby bottles and stuff with it but I feel like she's going to keep that too. and every time I say something to my boyfriend he gets all up tight 😔😔😔 I feel like running away with my baby when he gets here.@gabbii,

Why wouldn't you just send a few diapers etc with the baby when she baby sits?!? She sounds like my mother when I had my first. Nip it in the butt while you can, my son is now seven and my mother and I have a strained relationship because of it.

you received them not her. take them back take it all back if you bought it or it was gifted to you from your shower. don't let her push you around like that.
