(Just on his moms side there is like 15 bros and sis..Plus my husband was the baby of the family and for some reason everyone thinks hes like “god”…Everyoen loves him…Anyways…she wants me to wait etc…which alot of ppls have told me…But I want to make sure I have everything I want…I only want one child and I want it to be everything I can…I dont expect people to buy me the expensive gifts Travel syst, high chair, swing, playyard which I want all matching sets…I would never think they would buy me those expensive things….but my mother in law says to wait!!!!!! She tried to tell me she had my sis in laws baby shower after the baby was born but I definately dont’ want that…I’m not trying to be rude but I want everything b4 i have the baby so I dont have to worry about money as much wit the things i could have been workin on b4 the baby gets here

Tell her if she wants o give you a shower you would like it at 6 or 7 months so you still have time & register for the items YOU want.

Tell her politely yet firmly that you want the baby shower before the baby is born. It is supposed to be what YOU want, not what everyone else wants. I understand wanting to get everything before the baby gets here so that you are well prepared. Let her know that you want to be able to rest once you have this baby and not worry about having the shower afterwards.

Tell her you want your shower at about 6 months so you can try to get anythign else yo uwant that you dont recieve. Also, Put things on there liek travel systems, swings ect… soemtimes people liek to go in together on bigger items and get you nice things at their expense lol. I had 3 cousins who bought me a lovely swing thatwas 75 dollars, and my sister and brother got me a nice highchair. So dont feel selfish or bad about these things. Just relax and have fun. Worry mainly about buying diapers, newborn and size one cuz newborn size dont last long usually, and maybe some clothes if you know the sex. Make a registry at like target, babies r us, kohls, walmart wherever you go to and then give your mom in law the baby registry cards or info to put into your invitations. And remember tell her what youd like, atleast time wise if nothing.

Get what you want and keep the receipts. You can also exchange gifts you get later. Get what you can, it all helps out in the end. What you can’t exchange consider selling it on e-bay or a yard sale. Just keep it put away till then. Keep in mind you don’t know what anyone will get you unless you give them a chance.

You know what. She does not control your money. It is yours to do with as you please. So, go out now ans start buying to hearts desire. Other people have differrent taste to your and what if you get a lot of stuff you need, but not what you like. If you buy your own stuff now, then you will have all nice stuff for baby. You did not say how far you are. I am 12 weeks now and i am buying like crazy. i will have my baby shower still and anything extra i get is wonderfull. if she is telling you now not to buy your own child stuff, what else is she going to be “demanding” once the baby is there?
Good luck and congrats.

Tell her that you want the shower before the baby is born.
I wish I had asked my family to do that for me, but we had it a month after my daughter was born.

Buy the things that you want…don’t rely on family and friends to get it for you because…you may be dissapointed. Just make sure that you keep the reciepts in case you get two of something!
