I'm prepared to be told I'm just being a miserable old ratbag.
Expecting my third child (big age gap, other DC 20 and 13) in the early autumn (DH's first child). I've been really careful on what to buy for the baby, and we've just started getting really prepared now.
DH took some pics of the stuff for the baby, he's very excited. Put them on FB. Cue a lot of his friends and relatives making unsolicited 'suggestions' and sending us links of stuff they used for their children - which would have been OK if we'd actually asked for advice and not already bought it!
I know I'm grumpy and emotional, but I was actually quite hurt and felt criticised. He says they 'meant well' and there are cultural differences, but I dread this becoming the norm - we spend a month in his country every year and I really don't want to feel everything I do for my son is somehow not 'right'.
