I really don’t want to be ungrateful but I feel like everyone is only buying us baby clothes as gifts for my shower. I made a registry for a reason cause I don’t need any clothes but there are other great things that are inexpensive that I really could use. I feel like a jerk.. I just know I’m going to end up returning everything and just getting the things from the registry that I need. I feel ppl hear baby and just buy clothes.. I’m incredibly grateful anyone would even take the time and buy us something but I wish they’d listen to what we are actually needing instead of what they want to buy🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️... Am I wrong to feel this way!?
I feel ya! This is one of the main reasons we didn’t tell anyone the gender! We didn’t get any clothes doing it that way. People just bought from our registry instead.
Well shit that is the best idea ever... I wish I had known that lol
I have so many clothes I don’t think I have to shop for any until my daughter is like 3 years old so I know what you mean
I made a registry for nothing cause people don't want to read or just want to get you what they want regardless. I had to return or exchange so maybe things cause I had doubles or didn't need 😒
Oh wow.. I’d feel awful if I got something for someone that they didn’t want. I just follow their wishes or give cash lol
@harloeagain21 I love giving cash as well...mom and dad know what baby needs.
Nope. I felt the same way. And now my daughter has a ton of clothes. Most of which she isn’t going to get to wear. My daughter was born in October. So why buy her summer clothes in a size 0-3 month?? It’s not summer and it’s cold. People don’t think about stuff like that. And you’re right, they only buy what they want. I don’t think you sound selfish at all. You sound realistic
Realistic yes!! That’s exactly what I was hoping I sounded like.. tho I do still feel like a jerk.. These kids grow so fast! I still have clothes from my daughter that she never wore cause they either never fit for the months/seasons or I just had too many.. It’s bad cause we are so unprepared rn and I could really use the help with some of these items. Body wash, diapers, wipes... the realistic gifts.
Not at all. You don’t need that many clothes in the beginning. Exchanging it for things you’ll actually use is better then the baby growing too fast and never getting to wear every outfit you were given.
Thank you so much for saying that. I still feel like a jerk. I’ll be grateful for anyone thinking of us but I have so many clothes from so many ppl already that I don’t even kno if he’ll wear all of these lol
@harloeagain21, I guarantee no one would be offended by you exchanging something. If they are, well then that’s just silly. But I think people understand that kind of thing.
This was me too it was to the point I had to take all clothes of the registry.I think it’s a go to because before I got pregnant and actually had to think about all the stuff a baby needs I would brings clothes as my baby shower gift.
Girl me too!! It’s gotta just be a mindset and then you actually have kids and realize it lol.. I always buy off the registry or things I know I would need
I don't see anything wrong with returning it....you know what the baby needs...don't feel bad.
Thank you for saying that. I do feel bad but I really really don’t need clothes
All I got was mostly clothes and we had plenty already and we got like 2-3 things off my registry. I was so thankful they got me anything because they didn’t have to. I still kept everything and didn’t return any of it.
@maddiesmommy16, the shower is in 9 days and not a single thing from the registry has been purchased so I’m guessing I’m getting clothes... Least you had everything you needed an could just keep it all lol
@harloeagain21, nothing on my registry showed as bought but I did get some stuff off of it. I think people forget to tell the cashiers it is for a registry and so it stays on your registry. I hope that is the case and you get at least a couple of things off of it.
@maddiesmommy16, me too!!! So so much!! Glad I’m having this shower early so I can at least get situated after lol
No you're not wrong to feel that way! People are just cheap now a days sheesh lmao
Lmao that is true... I have the cheapest things in there too.. could be spending way less than what clothes cost honestly. I’m not expecting anything tbh
In all honesty they don't even have to buy you anything.
People rarely buy from registries from what I've seen. I'd just ask for gift cards if you're just going to return what people spent money on.
I honestly am not expecting them too and did write in the invite gifts are not required but I did made a registry b/e ppl asked.. I just wanna celebrate this new little life
@harloeagain21 they'll always ask and go with clothes anyways sadly. I honestly don't expect much of people anymore 😂
Same here I didn’t get one thing on my registry smh people have no respect or what u want or need they do what the hell they want to do smh
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 learned it’s ok not to be ok thanks to @leonardsquared, I’m going to try remembering that whenever I feel like I’m failing as a mom because I can’t do the things I used to do.....I’m just sick of feeling sick 😔
My significant other hasn’t been to one appt. am I crazy for being bothered about it? I’m already depressed I’m having another baby. I didn’t even want anymore. I feel like I don’t have the support I need.
I don’t get why people feel the need to change their usernames or make a whole new account on here just because they can’t handle the backlash buuuut you had no issue starting the problem 🤔. Then try to be low as if we don’t know who you are.... FYI 90% of us have user notes on everyones’ accounts & screenshots that will never disappear oh & half of y’all give yourself away anyways on your NEW accounts 😬
Mommas I need some opinions
I’m not feeling well and I don’t want to go the ER if it’s not necessary
I’m feeling
Lightheaded
Dizzy
Weak
I feel like I’m gonna pass out
Cold sweats
Can’t really keep my eyes open
I have a feeling my blood pressure went down
What do you all think ?
