I don't know who to talk to about this so I'm just gonna rant and I need opinions...so since I found out I was pregnant 33 weeks ago my father in law said he wanted to get us the crib for the baby. so I'm due next month and still no crib, my dad asked if my father in law wasn't gonna go ahead and get it he would go out and buy it. so when my bf asked if he still wanted to get the crib he went on to say he wanted to wait until my son was born and he seen him, because he didn't want something to happen and us come home from the hospital with no baby and have to see the crib everyday. keep in mind I have had no complications this whole pregnancy and everything has been normal. so hearing him say this broke my heart, and made me think why he would even say that. and I don't wanna mention to my dad that he even said that because like wtf who says things like that...so idk what to do about the whole situation. am I taking it too far by being upset or what would you ladies think or do about it?
No he is buying it, he made us go to different stores a while back and tell him which one we liked or what exactly we wanted. It's not so much that he didn't get it that bothered me it's that he would say things like that. @yahuahsdaughter
I know I'm kinda hurt that he would even think that.. I was thinking the same. @maggiegallardo1293
oh he is making it? well that's another story. but why dont you just make your dad buy a cosleeper or pack and play and use that as babys bed until he makes it. i understand because i am an artist. when u mak something you put your heart in it. this is probably some internal issues he has, possibly a past trauma and he is projecting it on to your situation. making something for your grandchild is very special and sentimental. do what your heart tells you.
That is disappointing and I'm sorry this is happening to you. I pray that everything works out.
I couldn't agree more. Just don't wanna upset my dad with telling him what was said. @family_first01
@kim5309, I was thinking the same thing I just don't wanna tell my dad that he said that. my dad would be even more upset then I am.
i would get the crib. he seems like the person who is just talk and no show. maybe he wanted to be the wealthy guy who gifts and now hes stuck. thats not something you say to an expectant family. and its also no excuse because i bough our crib for my first and we had it home in the box and didnt even open assemble and use it until after baby was bigger so you can always return the crib snd get your money back if thats his worry.
I think that's what we're gonna go ahead and do, in my opinion you can't be a grandfather if you weren't even a father to your son.. I had a bad feeling about it from the beginning. All he did was prove me right. @dreab
I think she should go get a crib or let your father get you guys one cus how can u go buy a crib right when the baby's born it'll probably take time u need it right away... And that's sad that ur father in law would say such a thing..
you have a right to be upset that's the stupidest thing anyone could say. just let your dad get it and make your father in law feel bad. what an idiot (sorry)
I would just go let your dad get you a crib...why would anyone say that? that's uncalled for. Someone like that shouldn't be able to get something so special ..if they aren't even thinking it will happen.
If you really want to wait for the crib he makes, perhaps you could get a bassinet for the short term.
I understand your feelings .. In truth I had a crib with both my babies and they didn't use them they slept in a bassinet or pack n play anyway for at least 4 weeks
