My inlaws and parents are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
My parents have a massive amount of baby gear at their house so if my dd stays over there I don't have to pack much more than clothes for her.
They have:
highchair
cot
buggy
bed rail
bedding
potty
toiletries - babybath,lotion toothbrush/paste,hairbrush, nappies, wipes
Toys, videos/DVDs, children's music,books
Children's plates, sippy cups, cuttlery, bibs
Toodler friendly-food/snacks
In contrast my inlaws bought
a cot
We had to supply the bedding! They have a few toys and books at their house which we left.
What's normal? My mum seems to be living her second motherhood and takes the attitude that she couldn't afford it/it didn't exist in her day so she's going to buy it now. It's great that we only have to pack clothes for dd but then if she's babysitting my mother has a tendency to ignore the way I do anything and won't use dd's grobag, cloth nappies or the homemade babyfood we prepared. She's just loving the modern conveniences
On the otherhand, my Inlaws take the attitude that they didn't have it in their day so why can't we do without it. When we visit and unload the multitude of baby equipment, we get gasps of horror. Sometimes I'd like it they'd keep the odd thing in their house so we didn't have to pack toys, toddler cuttlery, bibs and sippy cups when we visit. Sometimes we leave things purposely so we won't have to remember to pack them when we visit and MIL puts it in an envelope and sends it back to me
So, what do your parents/inlaws keep at their house? Who is 'most' normal? My inlaws or parents?
