Anyone else deal with their mother being extremely pushy during pregnancy/ with the baby? I have made it very clear that I want to keep a camping/ adventure / nature color theme in her room. I can’t stand the plastered in pink and purple. She continuously keeps ordering pink things and trying to set up a secret baby shower in all pink even though my friends and close family planning with her have told her that’s not what we wanted to do. We want to keep it in earth tones and nature themed for everything and a pink baby shower is going to encourage everyone to just buy pink things.
I hate that it makes me sound like a brat. But this isn’t the chance for my mom to fix her mistakes or get a redo with my baby.

@nomli, @mswedes, she’s just so convinced that adventure / nature themed stuff is for boys. Yes, I am pretty tomboyish. I always have been. I’m a fucking mechanic for a living 🤦🏻♀️ but it’s not like I’m trying to press that to my kid. I just think there’s something great about having kids that LOVE the outdoors ( I mean she’s going to love whatever she wants anyway.) but I’m pretty sure my mom thinks I’m just trying to make her a boy 😒
🙄 everyone assumed that we were having a boy because my registry was full of blue items. I just like blue! And dislike pink most of the time. The nursery was painted blue too, and would have stayed blue even if we had a girl.
Nature is wonderful to love, no matter who you are! I'd throw a knight fighting off a dragon into the decor, but have the knight be a girl cause that's just cool.
My mil ruined my baby shower because she refused to hear anything I wanted. Also like @nomli, said I want so badly to not find out this time. I hate all things pink and bows and my mil insists that girls must have them. I hope your family can get through to your mother.
Honestly, that's one of the reasons we chose not to find out until birth. We had a boy anyway, but it stopped people from buying themed gifts. I would have hated to get all sports themed things, and if I ever have a girl I do not want all pink and bows.
Baby Shower Dress?! Shopping has been difficult and I can't decide which dress for my shower? Keeping gender a surprise!
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
I feel upset my mil is keeping the big box of wipes and diapers I received for my baby shower. I honestly feel like she's trying to have my baby all the time. she's keeping clothes at her house and all. she kept a big thing of Johnson Johnson bath stuff saying I don't need it all. I'm getting annoyed and I'm sick of feeling like just carrying my child for someone else to take over. 😔😔😔 I want want my baby to know his grandparents as grandparents and not trying to be the parent.
A really long RANT!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬!! What would y’all do????
So today I was having a conversation at dinner with my in laws and I mentioned that I was going to get the boys matching outfits for my sister’s baby shower/Easter. And I wanted their shirts to be pink well my mother in law had to put her two scents in and was like “why pink they are boys not girls and your sister is having the baby not you” and Than i was just joking around with them and I told them I was going to do the cheese c...
My friend keeps trying to give me her hand me downs which is nice! And I love her for that, but this is my first baby I just want to buy things for my baby and experience baby shopping etc...maybe I’m just weird lol
I planned my own baby shower to avoid issues like this. Even though I had a boy, I had a tea party in green, yellow, blue and purple. After all, it’s not like the baby is there to see it enjoy the decorations or theme.
It’s all about you, mama, and I think a nature theme sounds lovely! I’m sorry she’s not on board with it, but try not to let her bad attitude bring you down.
