So I Told My Baby’s Father When He Was Sending Out The Invitations To Tell His Family To Not Get The Baby Clothes Because I Already Have More Than Enough To Buy Other Essential Stuff Off The Registry. He Said No & That I’ll Sound Rude, But After The Baby Shower & I Went Home & Opened Everything Up All She Got Was Clothes. My Old Co Worker Was The Only One That Got Me Something Useful ( A High Chair) Now He Has To Buy Her A Stroller, Car Seat, Tub, Bottles, Towels, Rags, Bibs, Bath Sets, & ETC
I’m Annoyed Because We Didn’t Get A Lot Of Gifts (I’m Grateful For What I Have) We Need Other Stuff Besides Clothes 🤦🏽♀️ I Got A $25 Gift Card I Just Got 4 Bottles
@nisham90 I get it same here. I only got 2 gift cards, all clothes and bottle cleaners, teether and something to protect my car seats when I put the carrier in it. So pathetic
I do see where your partner is coming from, those are very generous gifts you were expecting. We had a gender reveal/ baby celebration at 7 months rather than a traditional babyshower. By this point we’d bought everything we needed except for clothes since we didn’t know the gender. There was no expectation for the guests to buy large items and we received gender neutral clothes, cash and gift cards. A lot of the stuff we wanted were fairly pricey (example we paid £270 for carseat and adapter, (£760 for the bedroom set, £600 for the stroller) so it was unrealistic to expect that from people even if they are family.
Well I Have Most Of The Big Stuff I Need. I Only Need A Stroller/Car Seat The Set I Want Is $129. Which I Will Make Him Buy But Essentials Like Bottles, Rags, Towels, Bath Sets, Bibs, Blankets & ETC Cost The Same As Clothes So I Wasn’t Expecting Anything Over The Top
@nisham90, got you, sorry I misunderstood. Yeah, just make sure you keep on him. You know how last minute men can be. Good luck, not long to go now!
A baby shower is to help get you the things you need not for everyone to get them for you. With you being 37 weeks your pushing it super close to get all the big stuff. My mil was supposes to get us a crib and travel system(carseat and stroller) and waited 2 days before I was induced to tell me she couldn't get anything so I had to go out and but the first car seat I could afford snd not thr best one smh. But the baby can pretty much come at any time.! I hope you get a carseat soon hun.!
I Have A Crib. Pack n Play, Bassinet,Most Of The Big Stuff I Just Need The Smaller Essentials Like Bottles, Tub, Bath Set, & Ect. I’m Going To Let My BF Know Today He Has To Buy The Car Seat/Stroller Set
@nisham90 girl I'm the same way.! I ended up with a shitty carseat and stroller instead of the one I wanted listening to her and now my daughter only has her pack n play cause I had a crib that my mil decided to leave behind when we moved and I didn't have a baby shower at all so we have to get EVERYTHING in our own which yes it was hard but I wished she woulda said something sooner so I coulda got what I wanted instead of what the store had so now I have to buy a bigger carseat and new stroller smh.
Same thing happened to me with this baby. Only one person bought off of my registry. Luckily the majority of stuff I had on there was in the $10-20 price range. So I just returned what I could and got what I needed. It’s more frustrating when a gift receipt isn’t included so you don’t know where to return items. I will just donate the stuff I don’t use and can’t return. Grateful for receiving anything but if i can’t use it, someone else can. 😊
No One Left A Gift Receipt But I Can Tell Some Of Them Came From Walmart So I’ll See If I Can Get Store Credit
Clothing is probably much easier to afford.
I don't understand why people don't go off the registry. I returned so many clothes to just Kohl's we were able to buy our monitor and I still had money left over there.
I Didn’t Get A Lot Of Gifts But I Told Him To Tell Them Anything But Clothes & EVERYBODY Got Clothes I’m Bringing Them Right Back To Walmart

I was so disgusted today. I went to take my son for his 9 month shots , and there’s a younger mom (when she said her DOB It was 2000 so 18ish ) with a 5 day old . And she had a social worker or case worker with her (my county offers a lot of help for moms and from the way it looked she lived in one of the homeless shelters for young moms and they take care of you and your child pretty much but you need a job or to apply for tanf and pay them a percentage monthly and do chores etc .) well . This ...
Yes!!! Literally told everyone I had enough clothes. Only 2 ppl got things off my registry. What's the point in making a registry when people dont even look at it!!
