Hi I'm new to this forum I'm 34 weeks pregnant and feeling very overwhelmed.
Just to say its a long winded rant lol
We have every thing bought for baby including pram and car seat etc. My mother inlaw has bought a lot of stuff for us. How ever grateful I am it's not what I would of picked out. I had money put away for all things baby and I haven't had chance to buy any thing. It kind of got my back up but just put it down to excitement and let it lie.
Now I've found out she's bought a pram for herself wtf. I plan to breastfeed exclusively up to a year so baby will be close by in my year off work. Do you think it's weird she's bought a pram for her self or I'm a being a total bitch.
My mother on the other hand doesn't have a lot of money and I wouldn't expect her to spend all sorts, she has bought baby girl lots of books things that she can keep and read when ever. To me these small tokens mean so much more that over the top baby gifts and clothes. My husband who I love, will send pictures to me of stuff his mother has bought and if I don't reply he rings saying did u get picture.
Yesterday my mother brought over to of the books to add to baby's room and when I showed them he said oh yeah then looked away. When my mother went home I burst out in to tears and said it's not always about money and things my mother had bought us mean so much more. My mother buys things that will benefit baby. His mother buys showy things like expensive clothes.
Sorry just had to let off steam you will all think I'm and ungrateful bitch moaning about things she has bought but honestly a pram for her self seems over the top :(
