Just as the title says really. I have bought our dd a gift for when the baby arrives (quite expensive but educational). Now dh told me MIL wants to buy dd a gift for when the baby arrives, think along the lines of a swing/slide/trampoline. It is something dd will absolutely love but aibu to feel a bit miffed? My gift is not something she will know how to use straight away, think leapfrog leapad, but I bought it so she would be a bit more independent when baby arrives. Now MIL is buying this big show piece when I feel it is not here place or aibu? And just to add we could afford ourselves to buy the item MIL is purchasing but had chosen something that we thought might help with the transition from having all the attention. Also I thought it should be the mum and dad who purchased the gift so we could have that memory? Again totally willing to accept I am unreasonable at this late hormonal stage in pregnancy!

Accept the present with gratitude and move on. Receiving gifts isn't the memory, having a new sibling is.
