Is it just me or does anyone else get this?
Since having DS, I've spent a fair bit of money on the usual stuff and have been known to go a bit crazy every now and again. But whenever I tell certain friends about this I get a lot of 'oh you're mad to buy that rattle, we just filled a bottle with lentils and she loved it' / 'weaning pots? are you CRAZY? We just collect all our old crunchy granola yogurt pots and use them instead' / 'what? you actually paid for your pram? We've got Sebastian's granny's vintage Silver Cross, it's so much nicer than the ones you get at Mothercare.
These people are mostly considerably better off than me, but I'm made to feel a fool and a chump (do like that word!) for spending my money when I could just be breaking out the egg cartons and sticky-backed plastic. I don't judge them for their choices but personally I love buying new things for DS. Is this a new MC thing? I get the feeling they think spending lots of money on baby stuff is a bit chavvy. Or just not the done thing in The Current Climate.
Wait till they see the Fisher Price monstrosity I'm about to order!
Oh..ok AIBU to not actually give a shiny shite and continue to spend my money on multicoloured tat as I please
