Feeligs Hurt...

Ok so here's the deal... My sister in law is 6 months pregent and since we have a 15 month old little boy we figured that we have alot of things she could use like a swing, and a stroller and some things that she shouldn't have to buy right now she is the only one working her husband has to be traveling back and forth to japan so he could be with his dad and when he is home they are spending money like they have it and I don't want my in laws to give them money all the time either..

So we call her and tell her that we have the car seat and the stoller when do they want to pick it up and she says oh we forgot to tell you that we registered for one and we won't need yours..

I'm kinda of upset because since the day she found out she was gonna have a baby she has asked us for all this stuff and we were happy to give it to her and now she's like we are gonna get our own stuff..

I say good luck just hurt my feelings that she wouldn't tell me sooner..

I don't know a single new mom who doesn't want to have some new stuff to go along with her new baby.  Why not have a baby shower for her, see what she gets new, then fill in the things you already have on hand that she didn't get new?  Best of both worlds.   She really will be thankful at that point.

Oct. 22, 2007 at 11:47 AM Well she's going to be in trouble if nobody buys the stuff  for her eh? I'm all for free stuff. I can't believe she wouldnt take yours.  I would have looooved for someone to offer me things like that when I was pregnant. I've never had a baby shower. we had to get everything on our own.

Oct. 22, 2007 at 11:47 AM that's too bad she won't take them...i hope she doesn't get them as a shower gift and has to ask you for them in the end.

Oct. 22, 2007 at 11:54 AM I'm not saying it isnt "nice" to have a few new things but you don't need everything brand new. Esp. the stuff you wont use for very long.  I would feel resentful if I offered things and then somebody backed out after they already accepted them. I would probably be pretty preturbed if they had backed out in favor of possibly getting brand new stuff and then if they didnt get it coming back at me and going "How about that baby stuff you said you'd give me?" Like my stuff wasnt good enough in the beginning but all of a sudden it is because the person is desperate.
