Prepared for a bashing here.
Short version of situation.
Bit if an age gap since the last 2 and this is husbands first child, my 3rd.
I have a form of OCD which means I have a real issue with hygiene.
Anyway, as this will be our last baby we really want to enjoy being able to buy things for it, basically doing all the stuff I wasn’t able to the first couple of times. Not just buying tings but doing things how we want without anyone telling us what we should and shouldn’t be doing.
I’ve already had a few friends and relatives saying ‘oh I’ve got loads of stuff for a baby, I’ll give it to you’.
Now usually I am so unsubtle it gets me in trouble, so am I being really mean to just say thanks for that but we are ok, we have what we need?
I have already said that to a few and they’ve been like ‘well, I’ll give you it anyway just in case’.
I genuinely have to stop myself saying ‘please, just take it to charity, I don’t want or need it’.
I know I’m probably being really ungrateful but I hit the anger point this week when a friend said I was mad for buying the baby new bottles and she genuinely was astounded as to why I wouldn’t buy some second hand ones off the local selling pages!
