Op here, yes they’re not gifts for me.

They are for your baby, aren't they?

Yes they are for my baby to use at her home.

That's great! You're going to love that she did this and made life so easy. You don't know what you don't know.

She told me that there’s sales going on so she’s taking of it and buying the items on my registry to use herself.

Taking advantage*

Is she going to be sitting in a high chair and sleeping in a crib?

My MIL instructed me to buy items for her house. At least your MIL is spending her own money and being proactive.

This is coming off as greedy that she isn’t giving the items to you but actually it’s a kindness to you to have the same kinds of items at a house the baby will visit regularly.

You plan to never eat/feed the baby at grandparents’ homes? Weird…

I think you must already have other issues with her otherwise this would be seen as a nice gesture. Whatever other boundary issues you have had with her you should probably take it up with your husband and have him talk to her especially wrt setting expectations.

Unless your MIL needs a crib these items are not “for her” they’re for your baby. And they’re not just up-to-date, clean, and new (lots of MILs try to sub in hand-me-downs), but are exactly the models/brands you want your baby to use.

Projection much? No sane person would have a problem with someone stocking their house with what makes a guest-baby comfortable.

Explain to us what the problem here is with what MIL has done. Because I think anyone finding fault with this says more about you than anyone else, and it's not good.

The boomers are posting all over the thread. It is weird.
