Am I being over sensitive?
I'm currently pregnant with first baby. My MIL has said her friend is giving her a car seat that either my DP can have in his car or she can keep for hers. I was a bit non commital and said oh I'll need to know the brand and model so I can check it has the most recent safety regulations etc. I said this as TBH I'm not comfortable with a 2nd hand car seat for my unborn baby. Also the NHS website recommends not getting 2nd hand car seats. And also I can't see any circumstance where in at least the first year of baby being born she would even need to take the baby anywhere in her car.
So this evening over dinner I said to DP when you next speak to your mum can you say about the car seat. He said oh yeah she said about that the other day. He said that he said to her we probably won't need it, but she wouldn't let it drop so he just said she could get it. I said to him don't you realise the safety risk with this. Well then he rang her and said don't get that car seat LBLC14 doesn't want it. I'm infuriated at him. It's his mum why couldn't he just say HE doesn't want it for concerns over the history and safety and following NHS guidance?
Just to say I do get on with his family very well and they are so lovely and generous with our baby on the way. If it was my mum i would feel comfortable with a firm NO and telling her not to bring it up again.
AIBU not wanting a 2nd hand car seat for my unborn baby??? AIBU for being angry at DP for basically telling the truth as it makes me sound ungrateful???
