Everyone kept telling me to wait to get anything for Baby, don't buy clothes, bottles, a crib, etc. "Just wait!" they said. I figured they were telling me to wait because they were going to give me some of their secondhand stuff, or wanted to buy specific items.

Yeah, well, I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, still have NOTHING, and none of the people who told me to wait are giving me anything. My sister in law told me she was giving me a bassinet, which is awesome, because my SO wants to build the crib. Well guess what??

IT'S NOT A FUCKING BASSINET, IT'S A GODDAMNED SEAT. BABIES CAN'T SLEEP SITTING IN A GODDAMN SEAT.

I'm so irate. I knew better than to listen to them, yet still did anyway. I figured, 'hey. I'm a first time mom. Maybe they're right; maybe a bunch of people will just give me stuff or want to help us out. That's what baby showers are for, right?'

Nope. I didn't even get shit at my baby shower. I'm trying not to stress, I really am, because I know it's bad for Baby Girl, but I'm just so emotionally exhausted and all this shit makes me want to distance myself even more from everyone 😪
