my baby shower is tomorrow and I know my boyfriends family is going to go above and beyond with gifts and my family is gonna feel bad cause we aren't well off. my mom really wanted to get me a stroller but his mom already got one. she had her heart set on it because she could afford it and she ended up getting me a gift card to babies r us. which is awesome. I just feel bad cause my mom really wanted to do something nice and his family has completely taken over. they didn't leave my family with anything to choose from. while I appreciate it, I just wish they had communicated at least with my mom so she could have planned on something or worked something out. (I only know what my mom got me because she called me to meet her at the store to pick something out).

aww I'm crying, this really hits home for me. my family is the same way. my husband's family has more money than my family and now I'm scared this is gonna happen to my family. omg I can't stop crying now. 😢😭 I hope they figure something out for when baby gets here. and I agree with @jamielynn07 you can take her shopping with you, that would definitely make her feel a lot more involved with the baby and everything. @chevma13
Awe I just want to hug your mom she sounds so sweet haha. I'd definitely plan a shopping trip with her and ask her advice on diaper brands and such. also you could ask her to come to a Dr's apt for you or the baby so she can really feel involved that way. she doesn't have to spend money to be a huge influence.
that's a really good idea, I really want my mom to feel more involved with the baby. she tries to be tough but she's really sensitive when it comes to this sort of thing. she's definitely become one of my best friends so when she gets upset about things it really bums me out :/
awe I feel bad for your mom. tell her she will have plenty of opportunities to spoil her grand baby. Maybe you and her can plan a last minute shopping trip so she can help you pick out things you didn't get and you can use your gift cards
I think a day out baby shopping and a lunch date may be just the thing. She is so excited, I really hate to have her feel like she hasn't done anything or contributed.
